Resistances often completely negate ongoing damage, which for many monsters is main source of their power.A simple houserule I may institute in my next game is this:1) Resistances are halfed against ongoing damage.Its a quick, clean fix...and there's a very good flavor reason for it.Try putting on an oven mitt, stick your hand in an oven at 500 degrees and then pull it back out quickly. This is like getting hit with a fire attack, and your hand probably won't even feel warm.Now lower the oven to 300, put your hand back in and let it sit for 10 seconds. This is likely ongoing continuous damage, and I bet your hand will be a bit more uncomfortable.</blockquote>
