Every source of damage in the game, such as attacks, spells, or traps, has an associated '''damage type'''. The target may have resistances or weaknesses that affect how much damage it takes from this source of damage. | |||

== Damage vulnerability, resistance and immunity == | |||
{{hatnote|See also [[:Category:Resistances]]}} | |||
''Vulnerability'', ''resistance'', and ''immunity'' are properties that modify how much damage a target takes from specific types of damage. | |||
These properties do not stack - their effect is the same even if multiple sources grant the property, whether for the same damage type or multiple ones that could apply. If a creature has both vulnerability and resistance against a source of damage, they effectively cancel each other out and the creature takes damage as if it had neither. Neither vulnerability or resistance affect immunity. | These properties do not stack - their effect is the same even if multiple sources grant the property, whether for the same damage type or multiple ones that could apply.

Neither vulnerability or resistance affect immunity. | ||
Features, spells and other game effects may grant these properties for a single damage type, several related types or even (rarely) all types of damage. | Features, spells and other game effects may grant these properties for a single damage type, several related types or even (rarely) all types of damage. | ||

''Immunity'' means the total damage taken from a type of damage is {{em|reduced to 0}}. This means the creature takes no damage of that type, even if another effect applies vulnerability to the same type.
