[QUOTE="Andur, post: 4386316, member: 27898"] Funny how they change some rules but not others, even when they contradict each other... 2d10 Fire and Radiant damage deals 1/2 Fire (rounding up) and 1/2 Radiant (rounding down), but you only get resitance if you have bothe Fire and Radiant resistance. ??? According to RAW, the attack deals 8 Lightning and 7 Thunder damage. The example holds "true" due to 7-5=2+8=10. However, it doesn't "seem" right that a resistance one has is negated if someone finds the right "combination" against a creature. Especially when there are several keywords in place, with four keywords, you are only losing 5 damage from 1/4 (rounded down) of the damage. And if folks want to get real technical the "natural state" of any creature is Resitance 0, so unless they have Resitance to ALL keywords affecting them, then they gain no benefit from having any resitance at all. Just doesn't "sit right" that a creature loses it's best resistance because it gets hit by something that in addition deals damage to a lesser resistance. [/QUOTE]
