Resistance to a damage type means that you take half damage when you’re hit with damage of that type. You can gain resistance against a damage type, a source of damage, or a specific instance of damage. As always in 5e, when you divide the damage by 2, you’ll round up. The calculation for damage resistance happens after all other modifiers are appl...

It is a list of all damage types, including the “type” of nonmagical blu...
The best damage types to have resistances against are fire, poison, and the physical damage types. These account for the most common damage types dealt by creatures and by spells which any rival spellcaster could throw at you. While having resistance to those damage types is going to yield you the best results, resistance to any damage is useful. A...
