====== Physical Resistances ======

Physical Resistance is one of three types of resistances in the game, the others being [[magic-resistance|Magic Resistance]] and [[elemental-resistance|Elemental Resistances]]. The physical resistances **halve** damage taken from their respective types, rounded up. This reduction is applied after factoring in [[protection]]. For this reason physical resistances amplify the value of Regeneration and spells that mitigate raw damage (e.g. ??Mistform?? and ??Mossbody??)

===== Buffing Physical Resistances =====
When buffing physical resitances, the player has fewer choices than when buffing magical or elemental resistances. For this reason units with inherent physical resistances can be quite valuable throughout the game. The following buffs physical resistances:
  - Picking up the Fortitude [[Bless]] during pretender creation.
  - Some spells grant various physical resistances.

<WRAP round box center 800px>==== Physmoss ====
A particularly powerful defense against physical damage is to combine high Prot and physical resistances with the spell ??Mossbody??. ??Mossbody?? reduces damage **after** all other damage reductions, meaning that a unit can potentially become immune to all physical damage for as long as the ??Mossbody?? effect lasts.</WRAP>
