Energy Resistance that blocks all energy types is written as ER x/- (where x represents the amount of damage to reduce energy attacks by; for example, ER 10/- reduces any energy damage by 10 points). This type of ER is highly desirable, but difficult to come by. | Energy Resistance that blocks all energy types is written as ER x/- (where x represents the amount of damage to reduce energy attacks by; for example, ER 10/- reduces any energy damage by 10 points).

Note that energy resistance does not block non-damaging effects, even if it is ER x/- and blocks all energy types. This means that healing effects, which use positive energy, are not reduced or blocked by a character's ER 10/-, or even a character's ER 10/positive. Only positive energy being used to cause damage would be blocked by ER x/positive (and traditionally, only undead or very evil creatures take damage from positive energy). | Note that energy resistance does not block non-damaging effects, even if it is ER x/- and blocks all energy types.
