Title: Stacking of resistances
Post by: Xandor Loriland on April 22, 2006, 10:15:20 PM: I am trying to get a definitive answer on the stacking of elemental resistances. As I understand it there are three types of resistance (racial, crafted, and resist energy feat) for each of the 5 different elements (fire, cold, acid, elec, sonic). So my question is do these all stack. Supose I have an asimaar character who gets a level 1 acid resistance and chooses resist energy (acid) as a feat. Will he have 15 points of acid resistance or 10 points. I read in Lore that the feat resistance stacks with the crafted ones. So, he should have at least 10. I just want to know if the racial also stacks. Thanks.

1. 5/- racial (Aasimar)
2. 10/- item (belt)
3. 20/- feat (2x Epic Resistance)

Do you get 35/- (1 + 2 + 3) or 30/- (2 + 3)?
