Just me, sitting here pondering what it would be like to model an NPC in #DnD5e as a tactical fighter by giving them resistance to bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing damage if they have a weapon in hand.
But also let PCs make an ability check whenever they hit the NPC to figure out their defenses, which would also remove the resistance.
It's something I've kind of thought about in the past as well, using temporary hit points as a measure, with a character resetting their temp hit points on their turn because they are "back on their game."
The idea that the PCs have to "do a thing" to remove their ability, and "do a thing" may not just be hitting them with the right damage type.
