	'''Resistances''' ~~are ways~~ characters or entities can ~~reduce or mitigate damage~~ and ~~affects dealt to them. From properties~~ of the character ~~or their equipment~~, ~~to circumstantial effects~~ or ~~Deflections~~.		'''Resistances''' reduce the damage or magnitude of effects to help protect characters and entities from harm. They can be gained from the features of Equipment and buffs, innate traits of the character themselves, or by successfully [[Encounter\|Deflecting]] attacks.

	Resistance Properties do not stack, ~~always~~ take the highest value of all applicable Resistances ~~that apply~~. The only exception is the interaction between '''Deflection''' and any other form of Resistance X.		Resistance Properties do not stack in most circumstances, they take the highest value of all applicable Resistances. The only exception is the interaction between '''Deflection''' and any other form of Resistance X, in which case both forms will stack.

	==Resistance Properties==		==Resistance Properties==
			There are different Resistance types that a character might be able to use. A character can only use '''one''' Resistance variation '''at a time''', so when multiple types apply, the player may choose which form to use to transmute damage/magnitude effects.

			Resistances can be gained from Equipment, such as Armour or Shields. Or they can be part of the innate traits that a character's species or powers provide. A special form that occurs when an attacker triggers Deflection on a character can grant Resistance X when appropriate.
	===Resistance X===		===Resistance X===
	'''Resistance''' reduces the damage and/or magnitude from the specified type/property by half. Whenever Resistance is suffixed with a value, that value denotes the Damage Reduction that is subtracted by the remaining damage/magnitude after halving.

	''"A Fireball is thrown in the direction of the Golem, it would normally deal 14 Fire damage, however the Golem has Resistance 5 to all damage including Fire. After halving the damage to 7, 5 is subtracted from the remaining damage, meaning the Golem only takes 2 Fire damage."''		''"A Fireball is thrown in the direction of the Golem, it would normally deal 14 Fire damage, however the Golem has Resistance 5 to all damage including Fire. After halving the damage to 7, 5 is subtracted from the remaining damage, meaning the Golem only takes 2 Fire damage."''

			===Immunity X===
			'''Immunity X''' makes the character take no damage and no magnitude from the type of damage/effect specified. If the resistance is suffixed with a value, this value denotes how much it can ignore '''Penetration''' properties attempting to ignore its resistance. If X is equal or greater to the Penetration's value, the defender still takes no damage or magnitude.

			''"The Golem has a special immunity to Physical damage, having Immunity 5. A Knight with a magic sword enchanted with Penetration 8 tries to strike at it. The sword deals 14 damage normally. The difference between Immunity and Penetration is 3, thus the Knight is able to inflict up to 3 damage per strike with their sword. If the Sword were Penetration 5 or lower, it would not be able to pierce the Golem's immunity."''

	===Absorb X===		===Absorb X===
	'''Absorb''' ~~works similarly to Resistance, except the property always requires a value, Absorb does not work at value 0. Absorb~~ takes damage~~, up to its value,~~ and heals the user ~~after taking damage~~. ~~The user will not die or be defeated if their health remains above 0 after Absorb resolves~~.		'''Absorb''' (or Absorption) converts takes half of incoming damage or magnitude and heals the user by that amount instead. When suffixed with a value, this increases healing taken by that value as well.

	''"The Fire Elemental is struck with a Fireball, the Fireball deals 13 Fire Damage this time. The Fire Elemental has Absorb 10 to Fire sources. When they take the Fire damage, the ~~first 10 points of damage is negated, the, the remaining 3~~ damage is ~~dealt to the Fire Elemental~~, ~~then it heals itself 10 points of damage~~. ~~The net gain is 7~~ health ~~gained~~."''		When struck with Penetration attacks, the amount of healing is reduced by the Penetration value, if Penetration is equal or greater than the healing granted, it can deal damage despite the Absorption effect.

	~~===Immunity===~~		''"The Fire Elemental is struck with a Fireball, the Fireball deals 13 Fire Damage this time. The Fire Elemental has Absorb 5 to Fire sources. When they take the Fire damage, half the damage rounded up is converted into healing (7), plus its value (5). Ultimately healing 12 health if it lost any."''
	~~'''Immune''' makes the character take no damage and no magnitude from the type of damage/effect specified.~~

	==Penetration X==		==Penetration X==
	'''Penetration X''' is a modifier that can be made to certain attacks that can ignore a certain amount of Resistances in order to deal damage or magnitude to the resistant target. Penetration ~~always comes with a~~ value, a ~~value~~ of ~~0 doesn't work~~. ~~Unlike Resistances, Penetration doesn't need~~ a ~~specific type to function, if it reduces damage/magnitude of an attack~~, ~~it bypasses an~~ amount ~~up to X~~.		'''Penetration X''' is a modifier that can be made to certain attacks that can ignore a certain amount of Resistances in order to deal damage or magnitude to the resistant target. Penetration halves the value of a given Resistance for the purposes of calculating damage. When suffixed with a value, this Resistance is reduced further by this amount.

	As Penetration can be ~~added to attacks~~, ~~it can have~~ the value of ~~a regular or [[Meta Dice\|Meta die]]~~. ~~When used against~~ a ~~target with Absorption, it reduces the~~ value ~~of Absorb to make easier calculations~~, ~~and stop it~~ from ~~healing as much~~. Penetration has no effect on reductions caused by '''Deflecting''' the attack, the Penetration property requires direct hits to work.		Penetration works normally against Resistance X and Absorb X, however Immunity differs as its value can't be halved, instead the value is critical to enabling any kind of damage/magnitude piercing. And if Immunity has a value, this is subtracted from Penetration's value before damage is calculated. Penetration has no effect on reductions caused by '''Deflecting''' the attack, the Penetration property requires direct hits to work.

			As Penetration can be added to attacks, it can have the value of a regular or [[Meta Dice\|Meta die]].

	''"The Master Wizard takes on the Fire Elemental and casts a special Fireball, one that has Penetration 5. It deals 14 damage to the Elemental. Penetration reduces Absorption by 5, down to 5. Fire Damage is reduced to 9, the damage is taken and then the Fire Elemental heals 5 damage, net loss of 4 health."''

	==Deflection==		==Deflection==
	'''Deflection''' is a natural defence for most characters to reduce and mitigate damage and effects that '''hit, but not a direct hit'''. Deflection grants the defender a special form of '''Resistance X''' to all damage (that the user can defend against) where X is equal to ~~their~~ character ~~level~~. ~~This special~~ form of Resistance X ~~can stack~~ with ~~the highest form of any other~~ Resistance X. Calculate the Deflection Resistance before other forms of Resistance.

Deflection grants the defender a special form of '''Resistance X''' to all damage (that the user can defend against) where X is equal to any existing Resistance X property the character is using. If the character has no other form of Resistance X with a positive value, it is simply 'Resistance'. Calculate the Deflection Resistance before other forms of Resistance.

	The Penetration property to ignore resistances is not effective against the Resistance created by Deflection. Meaning Deflection will always protect the defender whenever it ~~procs~~.
