Most of the errata changes are awesome and I’m grateful for them, but the changes to Resist All make zero sense.

Resist All was effectively a shorthand for not having to write out every single damage type before, but now it means the Barbarian Level 20 feat is pretty worthless, Ghost Touch is a waste of money if you have more than one damage type, and Champions got significantly nerfed… and sfaik nobody was asking for that!

It also impacts iron blood stance, and Oath of the Defender feat. Both of which had small values seemingly because it reduced all damage.

If I have:

Resist fire 5 from an energy resist rune

Resist physical 5 from hidebound

Resist 5 void from vital amplification Aeon stone

And take damage from an attack that does 10 fire, 10 Slashing and 10 void how much damage am I taking?

And why is it a different amount then if I had resist 5 all?

The Benefit of the Exemplar Ikon Titan's Breaker being able to ignore construct Hardness is incredibly niche. Most constructs have resistances rather than hardness, so the ability realistically only applies to objects.

According to Archives of Netyhs, only 27 out of 80 constructs have hardness. I might be missing a few unique monsters.

So does the new "instance of damage" help clarify whether or not barbarian rage can be applied during a polymorph effect such as untamed form?

Their new instance of damage doesn't even quite clarify whether a rune is an instance of damage since they had it resisted rather than proc weakness.

Clarify whether effects that are part of an attacks **damage** entry (grab, diseases, poisons, riders, crit effects) are transfered to the Guardian when they Intercept Attack and take all the damage.

Intercept attack as right now by strict RAW you can intercept 10 feet away as it has "you can step" not you just move.

Mortal Heralds Shield the faithful grants a +1 item bonus to AC, it should read "increases their item bonus to AC by 1." As right now it doesn't do anything to your allies defenses.

Under the new "clarification" of instance of damage (still some ambiguity whether a rune is it's own instance), Mortal Herald's marked for Rebuke is way too powerful. It should be changed to "weakness to your allies strikes or spells" similar to Champions Blessed Counterstrike.

Guardian's Intercept Attack lacks information as to whether the guardian is subject to the rider effects of the attack, the way that Protector's Sacrifice or Champion's Sacrifice do.

This leads to some very strange interactions with several monster abilities. Even something such as Grab lead to some unusual interactions. The attack was successful against PC1, but the Guardian intercepted the attack. From a logic standpoint the guardian should be subject to all of those types of things - poisons, debuffs, diseases, paralysis, targeting, and the like.

It does, in that it says explicitly you take the damage and doesn't mention anything else. The lack of anything else happening means you don't take anything else.

It doesn't make much sense if you think about it (how are you taking the damage but they're still getting grabbed/poisoned/etc?), but it's perfectly clear. This came up in the playtest feedback pretty extensively and the fact that it wasn't changed suggests its intentional.

Then they should add the line of "You aren't subject to any conditions or other effects of whatever damaged your ally (such as poison from a venomous bite). Your ally is still subject to those effects" to confirm if that was intentional. I agree that it goes entirely against the flavour and intention of the ability, which is why I'm suggesting it requires errata.
