Amplify Resistance

Level 5 Abjuration (Bard, Cleric, Paladin, Ranger)

A glimmer of divine warding, a shimmer of gemdust — with a touch, resistance becomes untouchable. This potent abjuration seals away harm, turning pain to nothingness… as long as the shield holds.

💬 If you could be immune to one type of damage, which would it be?

SepticEgos Fighting Game - Damage Resistance

I’m taking this SepticEgos and MarkEgos fighting game idea, and running with it. My next installment: Damage Resistance for each of the characters. That is, which damage type to which they have a natural resistance.

This the list of resistances for each of the Septicegos. 

SepticEgo Attacks here

SepticEgo Defences here

MarkEgo Attacks here

MarkEgo Defences here

Mark Ego Damage Resistances here

Each resistance gives a base -5% damage sustained from attacks with this damage type

Silent movies specialist in slapstick humour, so physical comedy is his best skill

I love @viostormcaller​‘s suggestion for a SepticEgos-only game being called “Septic Showdown”.  My working title for a game with SepticEgos vs MarkEgos is “Bruised Egos”. Let me know if you have better suggestions for the second one! 

Next up, I’m working on a couple of defence moves ;)

Magic Item Resistance in 5e

So as I've been playing, I have noticed that it is almost impossible to not hit a creature in D&D 5e, no matter what class or level you are. I understand that this is the point of the system's Bounded Accuracy where even lower level characters and wizards can hit a higher-level monster, and uses Hit Points as a scaling tool instead. I have always loved this idea because it makes it feel like you can beat anything if you are clever or careful enough.

However, in the case of much more powerful creatures, I think it might be useful to give them some sort of resistance against low-level characters. This would make it easier for a DM to keep a creature alive for plot reasons and allows players to feel advancement as they level up. So here is a little tweak I made which you can use as you wish.

Magic Item Requirement

Certain monsters already require magic or magic items to fight it and they just have resistance to non-magic weapons. For a high-damage barbarian, fighter, monk, ranger, or rogue, this is essentially an annoyance rather than a deterrent. Such a creature is meant to be difficult or tricky to fight without magic weapons, but instead only sets the player(s) back a few rounds.

Instead, give monsters immunity to weapons below a certain rarity. Save this for monsters that you might want players to run away from, or else creatures you might feel have some innate magical resistance, like incorporeal undead or powerful monstrosities. I might even suggest giving ones with rarer item requirements resistance to magic items and immunity to nonmagic ones. Something like this:

Monsters CR 10-12:

Immunities: bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks.

Resistances: damage from magic items or magic weapons of Common and Uncommon quality.

Monsters CR 13-16:

Immunities: bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks.

Resistances: damage from magic items or magic weapons of Common, Uncommon, and Rare quality.

Monsters CR 17-20:

Immunities: bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks.

Resistances: damage from magic items or magic weapons of Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Very Rare quality.

Incorporeal Monsters:

Immunities: bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks.

The idea is reminiscent of 3.5e's Damage Reduction, where only certain weapons could harm a creature unless the attacker hit very, very hard (often needing to deal over 10 or over 15 just to deal more than 1 damage!)

This is just a rough idea and I definitely wouldn't use this for every single creature unless your campaign is just riddled with magic items.

A question that's come up at our table a few times - how does the barbarian's half damage against weapon damage while raging ability apply to magic spells like vine whip or cloud of daggers? It seems like it doens't apply either because they aren't weapons or because they're magical, but we've ruled it both ways at different times.

Well, Anon, this is the kind of question that might seem “thorny” at first, but only because you’re relying on a shorthand memory of what an ability does rather than consulting the actual rules for it. It’s easy enough to untangle this one just by going straight to the text.

Those who follow this blog will probably get sick of this slogan before too long, but: precision counts. What you are describing as “half damage against weapon damage” is actually “resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage”. 

We think of those as “weapon damage” because all non-magical weapons inflict one of those damage types, so when you’re filing away what happens when a barbarian rages, you remember it as “half damage from weapons”. But the ability in question never mentions weapons, and what’s more, it doesn’t specify that the damage must be non-magical. All it cares about is if the damage type is one of those three types.

So your raging barbarian is resistant to piercing damage, which is what vine whip inflicts, and resistant to slashing damage, which is what cloud of daggers inflicts. The fact that they’re not weapons and that they are magical doesn’t enter into it.
