What resistance makes more sense for a rakshasa tiefling in PFS?


Advice

Shadow Lodge

I have a diplomat rakshasa blooded tiefling sorcerer for pfs and in and wanted to take the racial trait that replaces most of my energy resistances with some natural armor but I cannot decide what resistance to keep that is both useful and thematic to rakshasa's since they themselves don't have any resistances. Any suggestions?


They have fur, so Cold Resistance?

ehh that's only the ones with tiger or gorilla heads remember they can also be like hawks, gators, or other animals.


Ah, I was just going off the picture in Blood of Fiends.

So, pick your appearance first, and then decide.

However, a better option than the scaled skin alternate racial trait is to just take the feat Armor of the Pit (assuming you can spare the feat, that is).

Edit: As fluff, you can say that he's got more than one fiend in his past, and that the resistance(s) is(are) from one of them.


I hate to sound this simple but you could just go with the teifling side and take fire resistance.

It's also useful against arguably the most popular elemental damage spells.

Nahh right now the feat is locked up with fiendish sorcery to let her use her fiendish sorcery for rakshasa bloodline (which aggravates me to no end but what can you do in pfs) so that feat is locked up.

Right now I've been thinking either electricity or acid since electricity feels right thematically while acid is a nice one that is used a good bit but most people don't think of.
