    I've noticed that the 5e setup changed the way the character sheet works so that there's only ER and no DR. I see that slashing, bludgeoning, silver, adamantine, etc are now rolled into the ER and that the options are Resistance, Immunity, and Vulnerability. However, these don't seem to work.

    I tested with a creature that had Resistance to bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing. Blunt attacks did regular damage. Piercing and slashing (and combinations of) did half. Piercing & Magic did half... Likewise, I set up a skeleton with Bludgeoning Vulnerability and it had no additional effect when hit by bludgeoning weapons.

    So how would we set up the following:
    • A skeleton with Bludgeoning Vulnerability
    • A lich with immunity bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from non-magical weapons
    • A werewolf with immunity to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from non-silvered weapons
    • A flesh golem with immunity to Bludgeoning, Piercing, And Slashing From Nonmagical weapons that aren't Adamantine
    • A specter with resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing, and slashing from Nonmagical weapons

    Also, how would we set up DR 3 from the heavy armor mastery?

    And how do we set up barbarian rage resistances?

    double check that you used 'or' rather than 'and'.
    Bludgeoning or slashing or piercing != Bludgeoning and slashing and piercing

    I don't think you follow: the 5e campaign doesn't have a DR section - only ER. There is no option do to AND or anything. It's only ER. No DR 3 or Resistance Silver OR Magic possible

    yup, looks like a bug.

    thought from the Release Notes it looks like this is not quite complete yet.

    ### *** Known Issues ***
    * 5e resistances for physical attacks is not quite right yet -- soon!

    I'd assume this implies that Vulnerabilities and Immunites are off as well.

    Ok. One thing that shouldn't be forgotten: DR is still in 5e, though rare. Most creatures have damage resistances (like skeletons) but you CAN have DR 3/-- with Heavy Armor Mastery. As they move forward with that, it should still be an option (which isn't now since the whole DR window is gone).

    Ack. I try to keep all the rules in check, but that was missed by myself and the team. DR technically still exits but we hid the UI. So that should be a fairly each fix once I find a place to put the Death saves... if only we had new character sheet systems in place already!

    My kingdom for a new UI!

    Let me know if you guys need any help. I'm not a coder, but I did a bulk of the original d20pro UI. I might have some of the old files around here somewhere. I can also help playtest.

    Daniel,

    thanks, we should meet on Discord and chat..
    I am sure, more solid testers would be a good thing for everyone.
