It seems crazy that I can't find this. I've search here in the forums and elsewhere online but I can't figure out how monster vulnerability  and resitance works?

 

I see it's mentioned in both the PHB and the MM that certain monsters may have these, but I don't see where the actual mechanics are described?

 

Can someone help?

Resistance halves damage, vulnerability doubles it.

Thanks! Where is this described in the rulebook?

PHB page 197.

Also in the Player Basic Rules page 75.

 

It looks like the DM Basic Rules section on monsters copies the MM starting section which only mentions resistance and vulnerability (and immunity) but doesn't describe the mechanical effect of them.
