There IS a form of physical resist. It's called dodge chance. I don't really like that it's chance based only, but it does exist and it does mitigate as much physical damage as magic resist does over the long run. Evasive Aura/Uncanny Evasion is downright overpowered even.

Of course, there are some undodgeable physical skills such as Battle Stomp, but I feel like that's more of a small oversight.
