It was supposed to help in the situation that you do 15 points of ice damage being reduced by Resistance 15 to 0 points. With the fix you're now doing 7 points of damage.Anyway, I don't think this 'fix' is fixing anything 'fix-worthy', either.Did I mention that I LIKE resistances? Imho, the best and most memorable fights have always been those where the pcs had to think outside of the box, because their 'standard' approach didn't work. Often, this was due to a monster's immunities or resistances.Obviously, it isn't a good idea to hose the pcs continously by having them encounter monsters that are immune to everything they are good at doing. But using such encounters sparingly has a positive effect. It keeps them on their toes and rewards their creativity.Should creating a one-trick pony be rewarded by the DM?Should the DM adjust every encounter to ensure the pcs can make optimal use of their chosen powers?For me the answers to these two questions are crystal-clear: No and no.</blockquote>
