Help me understand the damage effects

[Tokolosh]

Hey, all. I'm having trouble coding creatures with multiple resistances to different damage types. Specifically, I'm trying to code the resistances for a Demon from the East Texas University campaign setting, and the book says they are immune to Fire and Bludgeoning damage, take normal damage from Magical Sources, and half damage from everything else. I tried coding this as follows:

[@Halve Damage, @Normal Arcane Damage, @Immunity Fire, @Immunity Bludgeoning]

The result of this is that it halves all incoming damage - including that from Fire and Bludgeoning Sources - but treats Arcane damage as normal. Is there any way to correctly code the additional resistances on these demons beyond just the damage reduction?

Thanks so much!

Not able to test right now, but how about this?

[@Halve Damage,@Normal Arcane Damage] [@Immunity Fire|Bludgeoning]

Curious. In for answers. Since you are halving all damage entirely what if you switched it up to halve only Melee and ranged?

Put them on the NPC under the abilities. The ruleset will parse them seperately. So you put the Vulnerability effect under the Vulnerable section, etc. Not at home so can't screenshot it. Look at some sample NPCs like Vampires and Werewolves for examples.

It still seems to be halving fire and bludgeoning damage along with every other source. Specifying Melee and Ranged also produces this result.

Very weird.
