(Comments Requested) Monster Invulnerability JSON field

[Maleclypse]

Summary

Features "Monster Invulnerability"

Purpose of change

Storm and I have been talking about some potential ways to make monsters have some unique ways of handling damage types. I've tried to get this far enough that maybe someone with better skills than me can take it the rest of the way.

Describe the solution

I've kinda written up some potential structure for the json but I don't think I can take this across the finish line.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Testing

Additional context

[PatrikLundell]

Defaulting invulnerability to everything doesn't make sense, as it would default to a monster that cannot be harmed. If it isn't actually invulnerability, but rather resistance, it might make marginally more sense (in which case I suggest changing the name to resistance). However, I would suggest resistances should be listed explicitly, and omission should be erroneous. You could allow for an "all" entry, but then it should be stated explicitly, otherwise we'll likely end up with monsters that are resistant to everything just because the creator forgot to fill in the entry for what it's actually resistant against.

The various gas/liquid filled monsters might be given negative resistance to piercing damage, i.e. vulnerability (which is another way to spin it, with negative values being resistances)...

Resistance is a better name for it and I wasn't actually intending it to default to all I was more trying to create enough framework to show someone who can potentially take it further than me.
