Category:Resistance effects: Difference between revisions

When a creature would be affected by something they are resistant to, they make a resistance save. This is a DC 10 d20 roll that they add their proficiency bonus to if they are proficient in the ability that grants them their resistance. On a success, the target is not affected by whatever was going to happen to them. On a fail, they are. If a resistance is granted by a condition, it is typically rolled with proficiency. Resistance saves cannot be failed automatically. Only one resistance save can be attempted per interaction. A resistance cannot stop a warded effect. If an item itself is resistant to something (such as if it is durable) and it is being used by a creature that's attuned to it, then the save is made with its user's proficiency bonus. Otherwise, it is made without a proficiency bonus.

Note: Some abilities are labelled as resistance effects even though they do not require a resistance save. In these cases, they offer some sort of protection that a warded or similar effect would cut through.
