Help Index :: Attributes :: resistances Resistances are a measure of your character's vulnerability to various forms of damage. Negative resistances result in your character taking more damage from the attack, while positive resistances reduce the damage. The maximum resistance you can acquire in any resistance is 100%, which renders you immune to that form of attack. * Magic resistance: resist magic damage from spells like magic missile as well as most miscellaneous magical attacks. * Fire/Cold/Electric/Acid resistance: Self-explanatory. * Poison resistance: Prevents your character from being poisoned. * Mind resistance: resist mind-affecting magic like confusion or fear. Mind resistance also reduces the damage taken by mind attacks which some monsters possess. Mind damage uses the same words as physical damage, but the attack will typically include wordes like "psionic" or "psychic" in the description.
