+ | Elemental Resistance is one of three types of resistances in the game, the others being [[physical-resistance|Physical Resistances]] and [[magic-resistance|Magic Resistance]]. There are four elemental resistances and, correspondingly, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The elemental resistances provide a flat reduction to the elemental damage suffered. The appropriate resistance ability reduces fatigue damage by double these values-- like the damage from [[heat aura|heat]] and [[chill]] auras. There may be exceptions to this. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The damage reduction takes place after DRN is rolled but before any multipliers are added. This is most commonly the case with Fire spells that often do Fire AP (armor piercing) damage. | ||
+ | * E.g. a unit with 5 FR and 20 prot is hit with 20 Fire + AP damage. First the damage is reduced to 15 because of the Fire Resistance. The unit ends up taking (15 - 20/2 = ) 5 damage. | ||
+ | |||
+ | FIXME Someone confirm this calculation | ||
+ | |||
+ | Elemental vulnerablities double the relevant damage received, with the maximum increase being the size of the vulnerability. In the case of poison damage, only the initial poisoning is affected, rather than each subsequent poison tick. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When considering capped damage, vulnerability to the relevant damage type does not increase the damage cap. For example, 1 capped [[armor negating]] shock damage can never deal more than 1 damage, even to a unit with shock vulnerability. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Buffing Elemental Resistances ===== | ||
+ | Just like MR, Elemental Resistances can be buffed in a number of ways: | ||
+ | * A [[blesses|bless]] can give access to increased resistances. | ||
+ | * [[Items]] can provide elemental resistances. Note that duplicates do **not** stack, while resistance from different items **do** stack. | ||
+ | * Certain [[thrones]] can provide elemental resistances, | ||
+ | * A number of [[spells]] provide elemental resistances. These spells provide either +5 or +10 elemental resistance. Note that spells that provide the same amount of elemental resistance do **not** stack, but a +10 spell **will** stack with a +5 spell. I.e. if a commander casts ?? | ||
+ | * A mage with {{path> | ||
+ | |||
+ | When buffing resistances with spells it is important to be aware of the quirks of the Dominions casting AI. Before casting a spell the casting AI will take a unit's current resistance into consideration. If the AI considers the unit's elemental resistance to be high enough it may refuse to cast the resistance buffing spell. | ||
+ | |||
+ | E.g. a commander with high inherent CR (like a ??Jotun Skratti??), a magic item that grants CR (like a ??Ring of Frost??) or CR from a bless might skip casting ?? | ||
