I'm perplexed at the idea that the resistance to all damage, a single, very complete and very easy to understand paragraph of three sentences, was somehow incomprehensible or even a little difficult to understand. I'm even more baffled at how, despite undoing the ridiculous first attempt at this, and correctly so, due to all of the backlash, Paizo has decided to carry forward with, somehow, an even poorer version of this ill-thought change.

There are entire categories of creatures and major class features balanced around how resistance to all damage currently works, and this will be a significantly detriment to all of them.

This is decidedly -not- how resistance to all damage worked previously. In fact, here's the full text:

"It's possible to have resistance to all damage. When an effect deals damage of multiple types and you have resistance to all damage, apply the resistance to each type of damage separately. If an attack would deal 7 slashing damage and 4 fire damage, resistance 5 to all damage would reduce the slashing damage to 2 and negate the fire damage entirely."

In what universe does this translate to the absolutely inane concept that's been concocted here? Did you have an LLM explain this to you and then spit out the meandering and bizarrely inaccurate 'clarification' that's been penned?

I suppose that, on top of all the price changes, this is even more reason to stop purchasing or following any Paizo products, considering that the current team clearly has no idea what they're doing. Alas, I'll have to find a workaround to prevent this change from being enabled in Foundry.

Pretty much,.

I'm even more baffled at how, despite undoing the ridiculous first attempt at this, and correctly so, due to all of the backlash, Paizo has decided to carry forward with, somehow, an even poorer version of this ill-thought change. Especially considering just how ridiculously overwrought these changes are.

At least there's an acknowledgement that this is a change, now.

Well, as I said with the changes to (complete removal of) PDF and Foundry module discounts, my table was already being priced out of buying many Paizo products. Between this change, change in the job market and economy, change of financial situations of my table (most of whom are in the US or UK),.. we are now unable to continue purchasing Paizo products at all.

That is unfortunate, but a function of it being completely unaffordable to do so. We have talked it over and it is effectively completely out of budget now.
