public class Descriptors

extends BitSet

A descriptor indicates the nature of a spell. Descriptors are used mainly when determining immunitites or resistances to certain types of spells. This class represents a standard set of descriptors. The bit set methods provided by the super class are used to manipulate and check individual descriptors. This class can also be extended to add user-defined descriptors if needed. Descriptor values ranging from 1 to 20 are reserved for future use by this class.
