薔薇語 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hello, Just a quick question, becuase I can't remember. Does Damage Resistance for normal defense help in the stun from killing. I assume not but then again I wasn't sure. Thank you in adavance La Rose Edit: By Resistance I mean Reduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maur Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Re: Damage Resistance Damage resistance converts some of your normal PD into resistant PD, so it doesn't change the total PD you have for resisting stun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosshairCollie Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Re: Damage Resistance It works just like Armor, basically. Resistant Defenses apply against the Body of Killing Attacks, but the entire defense (provided any of it is resistant) applies against the Stun of killing attacks. 10PD/10ED with 5PD/ED resistant works the same, regardless if it's bought as: 10PD and 10 ED with 5pts Damage Resistance or 5PD/5ED base with +5PD/ED Armor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Re: Damage Resistance In other words, if you have even one point of rDEF, ALL of your DEF applies against the STUN Damage rolled for Killing Attacks; but only the rDEF is actually counted against the BODY rolled for KA.

I ment Damage reduction nor resistance. If I buy 50% damage reduction PD normal, Would that assist me vs the stun of killing attack? I wasn't sure if it did or didn't. Sorry for the mix up. la Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodstone Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Re: Damage Resistance Unless you take a imitation, Damage Reduction works against Body and Stun from any applicable source (including Drains, AVLDS and NNDs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the mix up. la Rose Normal Damage Reduction doesn't work against either the STUN or the BODY done by Killing Attacks. You have to buy Resistant Damage Reduction for that.

Maur Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Re: Damage Resistance Well, if you bought it as DR vs those effects rather than vs PD or ED then it would work against the drain. You also can't stack them. If two or more DR's might have applied to the attack, then the player chooses which one of them applies to that attack.

Resistant Damage Reduction afects Normal, AVLD, NND, Drain STUN or Drain BODY (but not other types of Drain), Killing Attacks, and any other type of damage which the GM allows it to affect."
