On pg 77 of the core rules, under the bloodline power "Infernal Resistance", it states, "At 3rd level, you gain resist fire 5".
Can someone please explain to me what that means? Is it a DR5 against fire?
Thanks!
A creature with resistance to energy has the ability (usually extraordinary) to ignore some damage of a certain type per attack, but it does not have total immunity.
For each fire attack you're hit by, subtract 5 damage from the final amount you take.
So if you're hit by a 20 damage fireball and save (meaning you'd normally take 10 damage), you take 5 fire damage instead.
If you're hit 100 times by a 5 damage fire attack, you take no damage.

Not DR, but Fire Resistance.
So any spell (or similar) that does fire damage, you would subtract 5 from before adding it to your HP damage (after you half for saves for instance.)
Some environment effects (lava) deal fire damage as well, same for that.
Some weapons deal fire damage (flaming) and the FR would apply to the fire damage.
