Resistances define how susceptible a character is to specific types of damage.

The four most common resistances are to the following types of damage:

• Heat
• Cold
• Acid
• Electric

Other types of resistance, such as resistance against poison, disease, or illness, are less commonplace but can be achieved with specific items or effects.

Core Resistances

Heat Resistance

Heat resistance reduces the severity of temperature-increasing effects and heat-based damage.

Cold Resistance

Cold resistance reduces the severity of temperature-reducing effects and cold-based damage.

Acid Resistance

Acid resistance reduces damage caused by acid.

Electric Resistance

Electric resistance reduces damage caused by electricity-based effects, such as Electrical Generation discharge. It also grants resistance to similar damage types, such as shock damage caused by a prayer rod.
