Types of Resistance?

I was wondering, with Resistance, there should be types of resistance, such as:

  1. Endurance where individuals have been visually afflicted by whatever they have been harmed by however still possess strength to power through it. (Hashladun Destiny 2) bathed in Fire, light, hydrogen, secrets, words, while harmed beyond reckoning, she managed to move herself out of of restrains and crawled back to her father)
  2. Tolerance level of how much one can take such as a gas or substance before succumbing either to effects, drawbacks, or even death, as there are cases in real life where sometimes more dosage required for larger entities. (Ex. Sherlock Holmes 2009 as he takes in many difference substances that are highly recommended not to be taken by his friend and doctor)
  3. Recovery where as there are individuals who can heal from conventional damage, may not be applied to other scenarios, where as this type of resistent healing overcomes various hax based effects like poisoning, life force stealing, etc.. Possibly Anti-Hax.

I can 100% see where the idea comes from, I had the same myself not a while back. Not against or for it, some may see it as unnecessary though.

Personally, I feel that the current Limited, Pseudo- and Minor modifiers work fine if people actually elaborate the resistances along with scans but I cans ee the merit of such an idea. Though, it would be quite the effort to implement.

I put an example for recovery in my post above.

for the Endurance type, i have a link on that here for example.

for the Tolerance, here is a video where you can find the time stamp at 1:32

This seems more like Indomitable Will and maybe immortality type 2 than resistance tbh, since (at least according to the description you've given) the character is completely affected, but has the endurance to survive the effects

This is just what resistance is rn

This is not resistance but healing, regeneration and/or resurrection depending of the context

You forgot to include unconventional resistances, but they're pretty rare anyways.
