   I don't think much is known about WR, except that it exists, apparently
only monsters and NPCs have it (so far), and that it can really protect
from attack.  You might be interested in a story involving my demented
little sister Zarabeth (diminutive HT, this tall, this wide, totally
nuts, hangs around in Barstow).  Anyway, she and her group had
encountered a Rock spider and she was whaling away on it with her hvy
warhammer, but not making much impression until she got in a lucky hit,
and found out WHY her blows seemed to be sliding off; the spider had
heavy armor, but it also had weapon resistance!  That lucky hit, though,
overcame the resistance, and she was able to finally wound the beast.
She then hauled back and kicked it one, and wounded it again, but this
time with NO problem.  Which highlights a simple fact:  Weapon resistance
only works against WEAPONS, on kicks (and probably headbutts, tailwhips,
and maybe bare fisted hits), it has NO EFFECT!  So get out there and
STOMP 'UM!
