Damage Types and Resistances:
Each weapon has a Damage type, expressed as three-letter combination in a square bracket. Through various means, you can obtain Resistances to these (or even Weaknesses!)
There are 5 damage types: Physical [PHS], Electrical [ELC], Fire [FIR], Ice [ICE] and Magic [MAG].
Resistances use + to indicate their level:
none: You receive normal damage from Fire.
[+FIR]: You receive 25% damage less (rounded down) from Fire (the lowest possible is 1).
[++FIR]: You receive 50% damage less (rounded down) from Fire (the lowest possible is 1).
There is also Poison status.
At end of each Turn a d6 is rolled: you receive (1-5) damage from Poison or the Poison is removed (6).
