This is pretty awesome! I love how it encapsulates the idea of “D&D if it was made from OSR/NSR blog posts”. The one mechanic I’m not a fan of is Resistance. RAW it works similarly to B/X saving throws, and it’s not very intuitive. Why isn’t it just d20 roll under or just a bonus vs a fixed DC? Otherwise, everything is wonderfully perfect.

This (d20 + bonus) was the more interesting idea i had. It would be more intuitive,as you said. But the reason that i didn't go that way was the retrocompatibility: since the Elfgame need to use the bestiary from BX/retroclones, it would create two rules for the same thing (PC would use d20+bonus, monsters would use the standard procedure)
The whole idea was to mantain the Elfgame able to be played with any and all material released in the past 40-50 years
