Energy resistance doesn't stack with resistance from spells. Does it stack with resistance from anything else?


Rules Questions

Liberty's Edge

I'm playing around with a build for an oread monk who picks up Shaitan Style. Oreads have resist acid 5 innately, and Shaitan Skin would grant the character resist acid [monk level]. Would they stack? The resistance rules that I have so far found in the PRD only talk about energy resistance specifically from spells - "This resistance does not stack with the resistance that a spell might provide" - but otherwise appears silent on the topic of stacking. By calling out that resistance from spells doesn't stack, the text implies it would stack otherwise, but that's inference, not an explicit rule.

Anyone got a reference that I'm overlooking?


Other magic sources would be affected the same way so they are out, and I don't know of any nonmagical ways to get energy resistance.

As far as I can tell, Shaitan Skin isn't even a supernatural effect, let alone a spell.


Sorry. That is what happens when I speed read.
It says " you gain..." not "you gain a bonus to" or "you gain additional" so I would assume it does not stack.
I am basing this on how natural armor works, and how it has to be worded a certain way in order for you to more natural armor though.
