Are the dragons immune to their damage types i.e. white/frost, blue/lightning, green/poison, red/fire? anyone know?
There are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.

    Unfortunately there are no considerations of that type. Ya got ice golems shivering in icy terrain, and flame strikers crying over a little old flame. Undead don't care if your weapon is blunt, edged, flaming, or holy. Extra-planar critters are hit with non-enchanted weapons. It's all just visuals.

    And it's hours past my bedtime, I ramble.

    There are no specific damage type resistances in NW (except for Black Ice), that makes also somewhat sense as classes are locked in pre-defined power sets and can't change damage type easily. I'm not sure if this is a 4e perk or just NW is designed this way.

    In 3.5e a mage had usually access to all magic schools, and a warrior had access to multiple weapons, thus damage type could be varied, and there were various types of damage and damage reductions (both for physical and elemental/magic damage types).

    Hahaha.. Yup (Although I had a lot of fun in Champions for two years. I'll never understand why they gave up on it and let it sink. They could have <and possibly still could, if they wanted..> kept that game going strong indefinitely.)

    I highly recommend everyone here plays Neverwinter Nights 2. That game plays a LOT like Neverwinter except its a single player RPG and it uses true 3.5 D&D rules.

    Character customization in that game is insane. I wish we could get all that (including prestige classes) into NW someday.

    It's a NW thing. 4E does have damage type resistances, although it isn't automatically the case that something is immune just because it uses a given damage type, and resistance is more common than outright immunity.
