For example, a creature that has resist 10 fire takes 10 less  damage whenever it takes fire damage.Against Combined Damage  Types: Your resistance is ineffective against combined damage types  unless you have resistance to each of the damage types, and then only  the weakest of the resistances applies. For example, if you have resist  10 lightning and resist 5 thunder and an attack deals 15 lightning and  thunder damage to you, you take 10 damage, because the resistance to the  combined damage types is limited by the lesser of the two resistances.Not  Cumulative: Resistances against the same damage type are not  cumulative. Only the highest resistance applies. For example, if you  have resist 5 cold and then gain resist 10 cold, you have resist 10  cold, not resist 15 cold. Similarly, if you have resist 5 cold and then  gain resist 2 to all damage, you still have resist 5 cold, not resist 7  cold.[/sblock][sblock=Immune]A creature that is immune to a damage type (such as cold or fire), a  condition (such as dazed or petrified), or another specific effect (such  as disease or forced movement) is not affected by it. A creature that  is immune to charm, fear, illusion, poison, or sleep is not affected by  the nondamaging effects of a power that has that keyword. A creature  that is immune to gaze is not affected by powers that have that keyword.[/sblock]The definition of Immune does not have a section on combined damage types like Resist does.  Thus the basis of the argument is that the lack of such a section for Immune means that it does not exist, and the phrase "not affected" is absolute.As I've said, I'd allow your interpretation, but it's not the only interpretation, so it might be a good idea to ask current and future DMs until you can acquire Venom Hand Master.Here's a thread about the debate: <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-discussion/278362-damage-two-types-but-immunity-one.html" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-discussion/278362-damage-two-types-but-immunity-one.html</a>[/sblock]</blockquote>
