Forgive me if this was answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it. I was wondering if a race such as Aasimar who has a racial resistance to energy using a shield with the Energy Resistance Ability gets the benefit of both or do they not stack?
We do know that the spell Resist Energy does not stack with the bonuses, but can not find a ruling for the Shield/Armor ability. We thought that the shield would take the hit first and then the Aasimar (assuming that the resistances were both electricity for example).
Thanks in advance for any help!

There's the relevant thread, bud.
From what's said there it seems that racial and item bonus do indeed stack.
Thank you for your response. I had looked at the thread and couldn't figure out if they were speaking directly about an item ability or not.
I believe this will answer your question...
Nope. Energy resistance does not stack.
As with any bonus/effect (unless otherwise stated in the description) the greatest value is the one that is counted and multiple values do not stack.
