Opposing Effects

Some effects come in thematically opposed pairs, usually one positive (beneficial) to the target and one negative (detremental) to the target.

• Haste vs. Slow
• Damage Bonus vs. Damage Penalty (when dealing damage)
• Resistance vs. Weakness (when receiving damage)
• (DnD5th) Advantage vs. Disadvantage

Game systems must define what happens when two opposed effects are applied simultaneously.
