I love Zulg's change to make resistance more transparent via 'score damage', however now I'm confused sometimes when things I expect to show up there don't.
For example, the petrify flesh helpfile says some resistance to all attacks...yet nothing shows up in score damage after it's cast on me. Nothing ever shows up with stone skin, either. Is stone skin just -AC? Is petrify flesh acting like a mini-sanc?
It kind of seems like damage reduction stuff falls into three categories:
-Decreases AC (what does this do, make hits not land?)
-Adds resistance that shows up in score damage
-Blanket DR that decreases ALL incoming attacks regardless of type (this is how sanc and A/B/S work, right?)
1) Can you please confirm that and explain how they work together?
2) Also, I already used up my one helpfile wish...but I think a top level "damage reduction" that explains the roadmap to the various types would help newbies a lot. Alternatively...come up with a standard way of saying things...it seems like "resistance" should hint at type #2 up there, while maybe the A/B/S and Sanc and Petrify Flesh (if that's how it works) should say something like 'reduces damage taken by X% (note, I really appreciate that sanc and protection helpfile give these specifics).
3) Along the lines of Zulg's change to score damage, I think it would be AWESOME if there was a line that showed your cumulative damage reduction (my type #3, if I'm understanding correctly). Like:
Bash : Normal
Slash: Normal
...
Drowning: Vulnerable -33%
...etc.
ADDITION: Damage Reduction 50%
