[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 5686956, member: 31734"] I didn't say damage roll, either, but you created a new term "incident" and suddenly act like that proves your point somehow. I'd say that using the word "damage" twice in the same line makes it two separate incidents. Even in your explanation you create a new word "event" to corroborate your unsupported premise. I could say that one power is equal to one event, thus completely negating your argument. If you're more precise in your game language then please make your points in game language. The fact is that the ruling on this issue is not clear. As was said, this is a corner case that may not even exist anymore, but I still have two pieces of advice for any DM's reading this: [LIST=1] [*]Whatever your ruling, I urge you to not make "resist all" be a worse option than "resist <specific damage>." I really don't think that the intent of resist all is to be a worse option. [*]When you design new monsters that deal multiple types of damage in one power, be aware of this issue and design accordingly. I strongly recommend you use a very clear design approach on this.
