[QUOTE="Seramus, post: 8585449, member: 6812658"] I have a slight dislike of 'magic weapons' being a universal unlock. At the same time, I feel like it creates an expectation that most martials will need to have a magic weapon by X level, or it becomes a strange tax against martial characters compared to casters who can cantrip around it (if they selected the right cantrips). So I would just throw out the granularity of tiers. Stick with thematic things. This monster has resistance to damage unless it has been hit by Silver within the last round. That monster has resistance to damage unless it has been hit by Fire within the last round. This third monster has resistance to damage unless it has been hit by sunlight or running water within the last round. This monster has resistance to damage unless it has been hit by Cold Iron within the last round. Resistant to WHAT damage? [B]All of it.[/B] Also allows for nice moments like stabbing the werewolf with a silver dinner knife to break the resistance, allowing the party to pile on for a round, without requiring everyone to have/use silver.
