[QUOTE="N0Man, post: 4798795, member: 64066"] Webrunner's recollection of the multiple damage types is correct but I don't think it applies to your particular case. When there are multiple damage sources, such as a spell that says it does "2D6 Fire and Lightning Damage", then the Webrunner is correct in citing that the lowest resist between the two is used. However, your example is a different case. First of all, the damage is technically coming from 2 sources. I think where you are mistaken is that the attack isn't really dealing "1[w] untyped damage + 1d6 Lightning damage." In reality, the melee attack is dealing 1[w] untyped (melee) damage, and then a Daily power is expended (as a Free Action) that can only be activated when you hit with a weapon, deals 1d6 Lightning damage. It doesn't *increase* the weapon's damage by 1d6, it is a power that deals 1d6 damage. These are 2 different sources, and he regains resist 10 to the melee attack, and resist 10 to the lightning based daily power from the item. In this case, he would be completely immune to the damage, since 10 is greater than the possible damage from either 1d6. [/QUOTE]
