Rolling is a default method to make characters and huge numbers of us roll stats.  You cannot assume a 12 dex for a strength based fighter.  It can easily be higher.Third, where are you getting one attack from? Readied action does not limit you to one attack.  Neither does reaction.  A readied action is not an opportunity attack which only allows one attack, it's readying an action of your choice which can include the attack action. You get all of your attacks with an attack action.  That you use your reaction to use the attack action doesn't change the number of attacks you get.Of course the difference is noticeable.  That's the point.  The point of resistance is to take half damage. If you give out magic weapons, these fights get a LOT easier.  Too easy in an already easy game.  All resistance does is turn the fight from a speed bump to an easy to moderate encounter.Monster special abilities have nothing to do with pulling your weight or not.  That's like saying that a wizard who misses a paralysis save and is out of the entire fight due to bad rolls didn't pull his weight.  It's not an individual's fault that they are doing less damage due to a monster ability, and the phrase not pulling your weight is about an individual not trying as hard as he can. The phrase depends on the fault being on the part of the one not pulling his weight.</blockquote>
