[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 7935051, member: 6855114"] I would tend to agree with Zardnaar on the fact that resistance to non magic weapon is kinda of Meh!!!!! It is so easily bypassed that it is almost a joke to low level characters. At higher level, IT is a joke. Resistance to non magical weapons should have been immunities and resistance to one type of damage. Take the Gargoyle, it should be immune to non magical weapons and resistant to piercing and slashing weapon. Magical blunt weapons would be quite effective. The same could be applied to some elements, for example our gargoyle could be immune/resistant to poison and fire. This would force casters to use some cantrips other than the firebolt we all see. The problem with this is that it would require a full rewrite of the MM and casters would need a wee bit more cantrips to give them a fighting chance/usefulness. This should be better kept in a new edition or 5.5? [/QUOTE]
