What does resistance mean in D&D?
Resistance reduces damage taken by half, but only for the specific damage type(s) you are resistant to. If you take an odd number of damage, you round the end result down, e.g. in our example, 91 fire damage is halved to 45.5, you’d then round down to 45 damage total instead.
What is resistance to bludgeoning damage?
From D&D Wiki Resistance and then vulnerability are applied after all other modifiers to damage. For example, a creature has resistance to bludgeoning damage and is hit by an attack that deals 25 bludgeoning damage. The creature is also within a magical aura that reduces all damage by 5.
How does a resistance work?
Resistance measures a materials ability to resist the flow of electrons through it. If the width of the hose at the bottom remains the same, then by adding more water to the tank, the water through the hose flows faster. Similarly, adding more voltage to a circuit increases the current.
Can you get double resistance?
You can’t have “double resistance.” That is immunity and neither effect listed grants immunity. Once the DM has chosen if its the “last applied effect” or the strongest, that is the decision forevermore in the campaign for any attempt to stack effects.

What happens when you have multiple instances of resistance?

It’s also worth noting that cold, fire, and lightning resistances often happen together, but monsters that resist those types rarely resist force, radiant, psychic or – if the target isn’t undead – necrotic damage. Acid is also a fairly good fallback, since it works on non-Yugoloth fiends and all undead other than the incorporeal ones.
