Damage Types and Resistance

Through various means you can get resistance to certain types of damage. For example in character creation your choices will determine some of those resistances. Also when equipping an item or casting a spell you may get resistance to certain elements.

For Magic, there are 6 types of resistance, one for each way:

• Crystal Way Resistance (generally energy/blind/light damage)
• Blue Way Resistance (generally freeze/ice damage)
• Red Way Resistance (generally fire/lava/lightning damage)
• Azure Way Resistance (generally psychic damage)
• Dark Way Resistance (generally drain/weakness damage)
• Brown Way Resistance (generally impact damage, like rocks, sand wind, thorns, ...)

There are also other damage types, and specific resistances:

• Poison Resistance
• Disease Resistance

There are also damage types by type of weapon:

• Slashing (reference weapon Long Sword)
• Bludgeoning (reference weapon Mace)
• Piercing (reference weapon Long Bow)
