[QUOTE="Ilbranteloth, post: 7288448, member: 6778044"] I just have a problem with the "player gets to pick" part. How can they decide which part of a single attack is reduced? I'm sure I could think of some examples, but not something that would apply to every attack with multiple damage types. If I were to apply it to individual damage tupes, then I'd say it's divided equally, but any extra applies to whatever damage is left. So that becomes 11 slashing and 4 fire, if we're applying resistance separately, then that's 5 + 4 at the end, with 9 points of damage. But that still might end up with a circumstance where an attack can do damage if the physical portion of the attack doesn't do any damage. On the other hand, if we go with the idea that you just apply resistance to the whole thing, then you'd end up with 19-4 = 15. Divide by 2 for resistance and you get 7 points. So with no selection you take 9 points of damage, with you getting to pick it's 8, or using the simplicity approach it's 7. None of these are game breaking. If it's consistent it will swing the other way sometimes. It means resistance is a bit stronger than it might otherwise be. And you can spend more time in the game world and less time doing math. A trade-off I'm happy to make. [/QUOTE]
