[QUOTE="Bagpuss, post: 4304291, member: 3987"] Yes but check page 55 of the PHB. "[B]Resistance or immunity to one keyword of a power does not protect a target from the power’s other effects[/B]. When damage of a power is described as more than one type, divide the damage evenly between the damage types (round up for the first damage type, round down for all others). For example, a power that deals 25 fire and thunder damage deals 13 fire damage and 12 thunder damage." Lets assume we have a creature that is Immune to fear and fire. Case one: Hit with a power with the Keywords Fire and Thunder, that only does damage. It clearly would only take half damage. From what was said above. Case two: Hit by a power with the Keyword Fire only. It does damage but this power also leave the target dazed for one round. Is the still dazed? "Resistance or immunity to one keyword of a power does not protect a target from the power’s other effects" You could read that one of two ways, most logical is that if you are immune to all the keywords then you are immune to the whole power, but it doesn't actually say that. Case three: Hit by a power with the Keyword Fire and Conjuration. It does damage but this power also pushes the target 1 square. Is the target still pushed? Sure he's immune to the damage, but is the physical fireball able to push them back? He's not immune to all the keywords. Case four: Hit by Long Fall into Darkness, Keywords Arcane, Fear, Illusion, Implement, Psychic. Hit: 4d8 + Charisma modifier psychic damage, and the target is stunned until the end of its next turn and knocked prone. Sure he takes the damage, but does immune to fear counter any or all of the other effects? What if a Tarrasque is hit by Long Fall into Darkness. Immune charm, fear; Resist 10 to all damage Say the damage rolled is really low and doesn't overcome his resistance 10. Is it still stunned and knocked prone because it isn't immune to Illusion?
