Damage dealt to | A creature's [[resistances]] determine which damage types they are immune, resistant or vulnerable to: | ||
* Damage dealt to a creature with '''resistance''' to that damage type is ''halved''. | |||
* Damage dealt to a creature with '''vulnerability''' to that damage type is ''doubled''. | |||
* Damage dealt to a creature with '''immunity''' to that damage type is ''reduced to zero''. | |||
If a | If a character has both resistance and vulnerability to the same damage type, they cancel each other out and the creature takes normal damage. Immunity always reduces damage to zero, even if a creature also has resistance and/or vulnerability to the same damage type. | ||
If a source of damage mixes different sizes of dice or damage types, they will be listed separately with a plus sign between them. | If a source of damage mixes different sizes of dice or damage types, they will be listed separately with a plus sign between them, e.g. {{DamageText|1d8|piercing}} + {{DamageText|1d4|fire}}.
