Talk:Resistances

Resistances stacking?

Does any resistance type stacks? Like Tiefling fire resistance + Barbarian rage (bear) + Warding Bond (spell)?

List of ways to apply vulnerability

I’ve been seeing a lot of people talk about some items that can apply different vulnerabilities to targets. Would be nice to get a list.

Is all non-physical damage magical?

It seems that all non-physical (by physical I mean bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing) damage is magical. For example, even arrows of fire or achemist's fire potions are considered magical fire damage. If that is the case, then it should mentioned in the article. This would clarify, for example, how Heavy Armour Master feat works.

All damage types have both magical and non-magical versions, dictated by the damage code. Technically, there is no such thing as "physical damage" (eg bludgeoning, piercing, slashing) as all damage types are treated the same. Rydiak (talk) 21:47, 13 January 2025 (CET)

What would be examples of non-magical fire damage? Pjotr of the East (talk) 20:35, 14 January 2025 (CET)

The fire damage bonus from Helldusk Gloves. Rydiak (talk) 20:36, 14 January 2025 (CET)

Are you sure? Heavy Armour Master does not recude this damage. Pjotr of the East (talk) 20:49, 14 January 2025 (CET)

Positive. It and many effects like it lack the Magical damage tag in the DealDamage/WeaponDamage/CharacterWeaponDamage portion, and Heavy Armour Master only reduces the damage from non-magical Slashing, Piercing, and Bludgeoning.

OK. This clarifies it. Thanks. Pjotr of the East (talk) 21:58, 14 January 2025 (CET)
