If you halve hitpoints, halve damage, and halve vulnerability, it all works out to being the same as normal.To give a quick example:creature A has 100 HP and is vulnerable 5 radiantcreature B has 50 HP, is vulnerable 5 radiant, and is insubstantialcreature A gets hit for 15 radiant damage, and loses 20 (15+5) HP as a result, taking it to 80 HP remaining, 80% of its lifecreature B gets hit for 15 radiant damage, and loses 10 ((15+5)/2) HP as a result, taking it to 40 HP remaining, 80% of its lifePercentage reduction in hitpoints is probably a more important yardstick than absolute damage taken, and that still works out.</blockquote>
