Damage Resistance is a buff that reduces incoming damage from all sources. It works independently from other mechanics such Damage Block, Armor, and Magic Resistance.
Do damage resistances stack 5e?
Multiple instances of resistance don’t add together. Either you have resistance to an instance of damage or you don’t (see PH, 197). No matter how many things give you resistance to the damage you’re taking, you get to apply resistance to that damage only once.
What happens when you have multiple instances of resistance?
Multiple instances of resistance or vulnerability that affect the same damage type count as only one instance. For example, if a creature has resistance to fire damage as well as resistance to all nonmagical damage, the damage of nonmagical fire is reduced by half against the creature, not reduced by three-quarters.
Do you stack all instances of resistance in DND?
Nope, they don’t stack. Multiple instances of resistance or vulnerability that affect the same damage type count as only one instance. For example, if a creature has resistance to fire damage as well as resistance to all nonmagical damage, the damage of nonmagical fire is reduced by half against the creature, not reduced by three-quarters.

What does melee resistance do in Destiny 2?
Note that Melee Resistance doesn’t necessarily mean melee damage–any damage dealt from under four metres away will be reduced. And unlike the Minor, Major, and Boss mods, each mod’s damage reduction has been increased. A single mod will reduce its damage category by 25%, while two stacked mods will reduce that damage category by 40%.
