partial resist for npc

Hi, I'm trying to apply partial damage resistance to a NPC. I found the following code in several posts, but those posts appear to indicate it's only an effect and only for PCs. What about NPCs? I tried creating a trait, which didn't work, and I tried putting it in the resistance box but that just gave me half damage. having to create an effect for the NPC is time consuming to apply it to each NPC when loading the encounter or, worse, forgetting to do so once I finally get to that encounter (probably won't be for many months from now). Is there no way to set up the NPC/encounter with the "effect" already applied?

Heavy Armor Mastery; RESIST: 3 slashing, bludgeoning, piercing, !magic

I don't think so, you will need to apply the effect to the combat tracker entry, after adding the NPC to the CT.
