Only the greater of the two reductions will be applied against any one attack, not both.
The resistible damage types are
Mechanical,
Heat,
Cold,
Electricity,
Acid,
Energy and
Bio.
The electric damage from Neural Overload is irresistible, but can be reduced by your Resolve. Mitigation for this is capped at ~40%.
Some psi abilities also deal irresistible mental damage.
Shielding
All damage sources have an Impact Speed, which can be Very Low (melee weapons), Low (crossbows), Medium (low-powered firearms), High (rifles) or Very High (high-powered rifles, energy weapons).

Action and movement points
- All characters have 50 AP. They can be used for any action, including moving. Most actions consume AP, but there are exceptions. (e.g. Special Tactics)
- Wearing armor without meeting its strength requirement will reduce your action points.[2]
- Character base movement points equal 30 + extra 3 points for every point in agility above 5. Movement Points can only be used for moving.
- Movement points are affected by agility, encumberance and some feats.
- Some creatures, such dogs and spawn, have natural bonus to movement points.
Chance to hit
Your Precision is based on weapon skill and target's evasion or dodge skill in case of guns/crossbows or melee. Ranged weapon precision is heavily affected by darkness and various other situational penalties. Darkness penalty can be counteracted with night vision goggles, flares and luring enemies into ambient light.
All of the precision penalties are counted after your weapon skill, so you cannot completely mitigate them with high weapon skill alone.
- Precision decreases with distance for all ranged weapons including throwing
- Precision further decreases beyond weapon's optimal range
- Crossbows and heavy guns may have Move and Shoot penalty
- Crossbows and heavy guns may also have Close Quarters penalty at melee range
- Throwing weapons can land up to 3 tiles away from target with imprecise throws
