Yeah, sounds good. Although perhaps the initial value should depend on
the race somewhat. Like humans would be better at attack, dwarves have
higher resistances, Elves more likely to avoid damage (parry).
Half-Elves could be somewhere in between.

That's more or less what Nezumi's writing regarding the races describes.
I think it is okay to add a racial bonus here, even if players will
never see the numbers. We just need to mention somewhere that dwarves
have higher natural resistances, humans have etc. ...

Oh yes, actual resistances look good to me as well. :)
