Damage in Baldur's Gate 3, is mostly caused by attacks meant to deplete a target's hit points to defeat it. Whether the damage be caused by physical attacks, spells, or elemental hazards, it has a corresponding damage type and every creature may have resistances or vulnerabilities that determine how much damage is sustained from certain types of damage.

Damage Resistance, Vulnerability and Immunity
- Resistance: If a creature or an object is RESISTANT to a damage type, damage of that type is halved against it.
- Vulnerability: If a creature or an object is VULNERABLE to a damage type, damage of that type is doubled against it.
- Immunity: If a creature or object is IMMUNE to a damage type, damage of that type is completely negated.
Resistances and Vulnerabilities do not stack, but can negate each other.
