Resistance

Basics

   Resistance refers to an object's (living or inanimate) ability to
   withstand damage. Objects with little resistance will suffer the brunt
   of the damage, while those with high resistance may potentially escape
   unscathed. Objects designed for protection (armour, spells) confer
   their resistance, both positive and negative, upon their user.

   Each form of resistance is only effective against its associated form
   of damage. As attacks may deal multiple types of damage, it's possible
   for an object with high resistance to a specific form of damage to ward
   off one aspect of the attack yet suffer other forms of damage.
