Resistances (Origins)

Some abilities allow a character to negate some or even all of their negative effects by passing a mental or physical resistance check, respectively. The effects which can be avoided this way are mentioned in the description of the attack. It is assumed that mental resistance is enhanced by the character's willpower and physical resistance is strengthened by constitution.

Additionally, characters may have some form of elemental resistance against fire, cold, electricity, or nature damage, or even resistance against spirit damage. These resistances probably reduce a percentage of the corresponding damage type for each attack. Since characters will typically start with a value of zero for these resistances, it can be expected that equipment, abilities, and effects may increase them.

The exact resistance mechanics are not known at this time, so are any limits to these values.
