If you want to play 3e, there's Pathfinder.Having read the various editions over the years, it seems the bloat started in 3e when they started giving CON bonuses to monsters and was scaled down somewhat from there...If you want something more fine-grained than just 'resistance', you could use 'hyper-advantage' (roll highest of 3d20; this gives mean 15.5 versus 13.8 for regular advantage and 10.5 for a regular roll) or 'weak advantage' (roll second highest of 4d20; this gives mean 12.4; this is easy to do online by simply clicking 'roll with advantage' twice). hat tip to anydice.com</blockquote>
