The text of the item says "You have resistance to nonmagical damage while you wear this armor". This would include walking through lava (fire), being hit by lightning, the arctic (cold), damage from a giant scorpion (poison), all forms of non-magical damage. However, the DnDB notes, and the defenses on my DnDB character sheet just says "Resistance: Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing from Nonmagical Weapons". It should be "Resistance: All Non-Magical Damage", regardless of type and source.

Ancient GM, started in '76, have played almost everything at some point or another.
I run/play Mercer-style games, heavy on the RP and interaction, light on the combat-monster and rule-lawyering. The goal is to tell an epic story with the players and the players are as involved in the world building as the GM is. I run and play a very Brechtian style, am huge into RP theory and love discussing improv and offers.
Since “resistance to all damage from nonmagical sources” is not a resistance that any Monster, Class/Subclass, Race, or Feat DDB won’t add it to the list. The only other option they have is to list it as “Resistance: All,” and obviously that wouldn’t do at all.

When I equip this item, it lowers my speed by 10 ft. Is that supposed to happen? I didn't find that in the description...
