	==== Resist ====		==== Resist ====
	Some creatures have the ability to avoid or reduce specific types of damage.		Some creatures have the ability to avoid or reduce specific types of damage.

	A creature with Resist X ~~gains~~ the specified number as a ~~bonus~~ to their defenses against ~~any~~ attack roll that ~~would deal that type of damage~~.		Resist adds the specified number to a creature’s defenses against that type of damage. When a creature with Resist X is attacked, and that attack would deal damage or impose a condition specified by the Resist feature or is made using a weapon type or magic source specified by the Resist feature, then the creature adds their Resist number to their defenses, making it less likely that they are hit. If an attack does multiple types of damage or would do damage and impose a condition, this could result in separate attack values.<blockquote>For example: A thresher moss has Resist Cold 3. If it is targeted by an ability that deals cold damage, then the thresher moss adds 3 to their relevant defense. If the thresher moss is targeted by an ability that would deal both cold damage and necrotic damage, then the thresher moss compares the attack roll against its defenses +3 to determine if it takes cold damage, and the attack roll unmodified against its defenses to determine if it takes necrotic damage.</blockquote>Resist is more powerful when it specifies a weapon type or a magic source, because if a creature Resists Primal then they apply their Resist to every attack roll that targets them if it is Primal Magic.

	If an attack ~~deals multiple types of damage,~~ and the defending creature has Resist against one of those damage types, check if the attack would hit without the Resist bonus. If it would, check if the attack would hit with the Resist bonus. If the attack would still hit, then the defending creature takes all of the damage.		When an attack misses a creature and would deal 1⁄2 damage on a miss, if the creature Resists that kind of damage, they take no damage instead of 1⁄2.

	~~But if the attack would miss if Resist applies, then the defending creature only takes the damage that they do not resist.~~

	~~If an attack~~ would deal ~~half~~ damage on a miss, ~~but~~ the ~~defending~~ creature ~~has Resist against~~ that ~~type~~ of damage, ~~then that creature takes~~ no damage ~~from the missed attack~~.

	==== Vulnerable ====		==== Vulnerable ====
	A creature with Vulnerable X subtracts the specified number from their defenses against any attack roll that would deal that type of damage. Furthermore, when a creature attacks a Vulnerable creature with that type of damage, the attacking creature’s crit range is increased by the Vulnerable number.<blockquote>For example, if a ~~Skeleton~~ is Vulnerable Blunt 2, then when Marcus attacks with his morningstar and deals blunt damage, he would crit on a roll of 18-20, instead of just 20.</blockquote>Vulnerable always trumps DR and DT. No benefits are gained from DR or DT against a damage type to which the creature is Vulnerable.

'</blockquote>Vulnerable always supersedes Resist or Immune. <blockquote>For example, a creature that has Resist Fire 3 and Vulnerable Occult 1 still suffers the Vulnerable 1 penalty against fire damage from the Occult Source without gaining the Resist bonus. Vulnerable also always trumps DR and DT. No benefits are gained from DR or DT against a damage type to which the creature is Vulnerable.</blockquote>

	==== Immune ====		==== Immune ====
	If a creature is Immune to a damage type, ~~they can never take damage of that type. If a creature is immune to a~~ condition, they are ~~never effected~~ by ~~that condition~~.		If a creature is Immune to a damage type, disease, poison, or condition, they are not damaged or affected by it.

	==== Damage Reduction (DR) ====		==== Damage Reduction (DR) ====
	If a creature has Damage Reduction (DR) X, they subtract their DR number from all damage they take, unless they are Vulnerable to the type of damage that they are taking. If damage specifies that it ignores Resist, it also ignores DR. The DR number may be followed by a weapon tag, magic source, or damage type. This means that creature takes full damage from a weapon with that tag or damage type.<blockquote>For example, a creature with DR 5/Fire would take full damage from fire, and subtract 5 from all other sources of damage. A creature with DR 15/Silvered would take full damage from silvered weapons, and subtract 15 from all other damage..</blockquote>		If a creature has Damage Reduction (DR) X, they subtract their DR number from all damage they take, unless they are Vulnerable to the type of damage that they are taking.

	==== Damage Threshold (DT) ====		==== Damage Threshold (DT) ====
	Damage Threshold (DT) is a very rare defense that is typically seen on structures and vehicles. DT determines how much damage a creature must deal at once to deal any damage at all.<blockquote>For example, if a stone wall has DT 15, and a player deals 14 damage to it, it instead takes 0. If a player deals 16 damage, conversely, then the stone wall takes all 16 damage because its DT 15 was overcome.</blockquote>For the purposes of overcoming DT, “damage dealt at once” is determined by a single expenditure of AP. Each expenditure of AP for an attack is a new roll against DT; you cannot stack attacks to overcome DT..
