energy resistance stacking


Rules Questions


druid wild shape is a polymorph magic
If a fire elemental is chosen it gets 20 fire resistance.
the spell "energy resistance" is an abjuration magic

The resistance of the abjuration is granted to whatever is targeted, while fire elementals has the flames from polymorph protecting them.

Do I used to resistance is from different sources stack?


If you're asking if energy resistances stack, no. You use the single greatest source applicable.


You could however get 20 points of fire resistance from wild shape and 10, 20 or 30 points of cold/electric/acid/sound resistance from resist energy.


If it stacked, the energy resistance of aasimars and tieflings would be far more powerful. But as the others said, it is a bit like wearing two kinds of armor. Only the highest one applies.

Source for this? Big argument at my game table.
