New Resilience Added to Characters to Reduce One-Shot Crit Deaths

ANNOUNCEMENT: GM Estild announced the introduction of a new innate resistance, called Resilience, to critical damage (non AS/DS attacks) for all characters! It does not stack with redux. It should reduce the likelihood of most one-shot crits that result in death simply due to bad luck.

All characters now have an innate resistance to critical damage that originates from non-AS/DS attacks. This benefit does not stack with redux and characters with more than 20% redux would not see any benefit (in terms of how redux modifies non-AS/DS criticals). This should reduce the likelihood of most one shot criticals that result in death simply due to bad luck. We will also continue to evaluate specific abilities/spells that are outliers in this area.
