the 2024 monster manual made some
0:02
surprising changes to the way that
0:03
damage types are used in DND now
0:06
previously in the 2014 rules it was
0:08
pretty common for creatures to have
0:11
resistance to non-magical bludgeoning
0:13
piercing and slashing damage which
0:15
essentially meant that Marshall
0:16
characters needed magic weapons to
0:18
function characters like the monk got
0:20
the ability to treat their unarmed
0:22
strikes as magical specifically to get
0:23
around those damage resistances in the
0:26
2024 rules those resistances are gone I
0:29
have not found one creature that has
0:32
resistance to non-magical attacks of Any
0:35
Given type instead most creatures and
0:38
most player characters will use other
0:41
damage types to get around resistances
0:43
so uh radiant damage psychic damage
0:46
necrotic damage and force damage those
0:49
four uncommon damage types are now used
0:51
to get around more common damage
0:54
resistances at high levels I suspect
0:56
that we're going to see a lot of
0:58
creatures that are using radi and
1:00
necrotic damage specifically to get
1:02
around more common damage resistances
1:04
that players might have so at those high
1:07
levels the AAR is looking pretty
1:10
exciting
