[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 5683912, member: 10503"] Well, a combined type has its own very specific rules (eg "10 necrotic damage plus 10 cold damage" is very different from "20 necrotic and cold damage"), so I see that as something else entirely. Let's reason around the case of "10 necrotic damage plus 10 cold damage". With Resist 5 Cold, I would take 15 points of damage (10 necrotic and 5 cold). With Resist 5 Necrotic, I would also take 15 points of damage (5 necrotic and 10 cold), but with Resist 5 All you're saying that I only take 10 points of damage (5 necrotic and 5 cold). So Resist X All gets more effective the more (separate) components the damage consist of? Two things, though: 1. I still think that it can be considered a single damage expression, even though it has two parts. A price of four dollars and 50 cents is still a single price. A man of six foot two inches only has a single height. 2. Would you also apply the resist multiple times if the damage consist of both weapon damage and sneak attack damage? Fire damage and curse damage? [/QUOTE]
