resistance resistances vulnerabilities vulnerable

Resistances are provided through several means, the most common being worn armor and spells. Resistance provides actual reduction in damage taken from the damage type of the particular resistance (i.e., resistance to cold reduces cold damage by that percentage, and so on). Fighters, rangers and knights gain the greatest resistance and armor bonus from worn items, while other classes gain varying degrees of advantage from the same items depending on class. A resistance of 100% in a damage type is possible, and if a character attains this level of protection they become immune to that attack type. Negative resistances are vulnerabilities and cause the person to take extra damage from the respective damage type.
