[QUOTE="takasi, post: 3111666, member: 20194"] I think the power protects you from all energy types. They could not use an 'and' in this case, because if they did it would imply that you only gain resistance against any attack that deals all energy types. If you're going by semantics, however, I would strongly argue that this power only works for one attack. In both cases the description refers to the singular, which would make this power much weaker (and possibly more balanced). Why couldn't they make it simple and just say the following? You gain resistance 10 to acid, col, electricity, fire and sonic damage. If that was the intent of the power then it seems like it would be much easier to word it. I also don't see anything in here that implies you choose the energy type or that you have to wait until the attack before a type is "chosen" for you. And if this power is limited to one energy type then it seems like it isn't worth a 4th level slot, especially with "Energy Adapation, Specified".
