Natural immunities are attack forms that have little or no effect upon a given creature. "Resistance" minimizes an attack form's damage, or effect; or it might allow the creature a superior saving throw bonus against that kind of attack. Creatures with a great many immunities can be hard to destroy with magic or with normal weapons; most creatures with natural immunities are unearthly, from other planes of existence.
Some forms of immunity and resistance are provided by spells or magical items.
