Hi Need a little help with RESIST element of critter etc.
The Wraith has RESIST Nectotic 10 and Insubstantial 10. Which I understand means any Necrotic Attack or Insustantial Attack is less effective which makes little sense to me as I'd thought it'd be more effective( Ghost Touch and Necromancy spells).
Can people clarify for me, am I reading it wrong?
A wraith actually has Resist 10 Necrotic and the Insubstantial quality (not a resistance). Insubstantial means it take 1/2 damage from any attack. Resist 10 Necrotic means it takes 10 less damage from Necrotic power sources. See page 282 of the MM under Insubstantial and Resist for full write ups.

That is strange as it means any necromancy spells are less effective on it, I'd thought that i'd be more subseptable to necromancy and 'positive' energy.

'Positive' energy is more inline with Radiant powers now. Which the Wraith has a vulnerability to. Necrotic is very much a 'death magic only' type of power in 4E.

Thanks for the assistance, that's a lot clearer now. :)
