[QUOTE="ccooke, post: 7667615, member: 6695890"] Heh. Earlier in this thread I quoted three examples from the PHB alone - one of them in the PHB's section on how to adjudicate damage. Take a look here: [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?440864-UPDATED-WotC-Gives-You-Some-Official-5E-Modern-Armor!/page3&p=6590062&viewfull=1#post6590062[/url] It is very clear that the concept [I]does[/I] exist and is a core part of 5e. It's not as common as it was in 3e, because 5e is a simpler system. But considering that every single Monk has a damage reduction class feature, it can hardly be considered [I]absent[/I]. What is different is that the 5e style does not use "DR" notation for it. That is completely in line with the "text not keywords" approach the system has taken to concepts in general. Given that it is rarer in 5e, that's a good approach for clarity of communication, too. While it is a part of the core game, it's more likely that a random player might never have encountered the rule. [/QUOTE]
