Resistances

In Dominions, Resistance refers to a trait that provides damage reduction against a particular type of damage.

  • Physical Resistances act after Protection, reducing damage of their particular type by 50%.
    • Bludgeoning Resistance (or "Blunt" Resistance)
    • Piercing Resistance (or "Pierce" Resistance)
    • Slashing Resistance (or "Slash" Resistance)
  • Elemental Resistances act both before and after Protection, but the "after" effect is practically much weaker.
    • Fire Resistance (or "Heat" Resistance)
    • Cold Resistance
    • Shock Resistance
    • Poison Resistance
    • Acid Resistance

Elemental Resistances are point value traits, such as "Fire Resistance (5)". They function by reducing the impact of elemental attacks, directly lowering their strength/power before the Damage Roll. New to Dominions 6, they then reduce damage like the Physical Resistances, at a rate of 2% per point. Elemental Vulnerabilities exist, too; think of them as "negative" Resistances.

Magic Resistance is technically not a Resistance stat, though it provides protection against a wide array of effects. Think of it like Defence Skill (or Armor Class) for certain not-physical, not-elemental things.
