You touch a willing creature and choose a damage type: Acid, Bludgeoning, Cold, Fire, Lightning, Necrotic, Piercing, Poison, Radiant, Slashing, or Thunder. When the creature takes damage of the chosen type before the spell ends, the creature reduces the total damage taken by 1d4. A creature can benefit from this spell only once per turn.

Resistance 5e 2024 vs. 2014 edition differences

The 2014 version grants a flat +d4 bonus to one saving throw once before the spell ends; the 2024 version reduces damage of a chosen type by 1d4 whenever the creature takes damage of that type, only once per turn. The 2024 version specifies a damage type choice, while the 2014 version does not.
