Resistance, Vulnerability, and Immunity
Certain monsters or characters may have abilities which make them resistant to fire damage or vulnerable to acid damage, for example. Each of these essentially acts as a modifier to the total damage taken by that specific type of damage. If multiple types of damage are done, the damage modifier is only applied to the relevant damage rather than the total.
Resistance: The target takes half damage
Vulnerability: The target takes double damage
Immunity: The target takes zero damage

Design Notes
Copied from 5TD. Should we put death saves back in? The way it is here, it is REALLY hard to kill a PC. It's really hard, unless no one is able to stabilize them. We could put a stricter time limit, rather than death saves. Maybe 5 turns?
