Stacking Resistance?!?


Rules Questions


Benefits from different types of sources stack right?

So consider race Resist Fire 5 (say Ifrit), sorcerer elemental fire bloodline Resist Fire 10, and a feat that provides another Fire Resist 5. Would any or all of these stack (resist fire 20) or just overlap (resist fire 10)?


Overlap. Unless the effect states it increases existing resistance by x amount. Same as things like Natural Armor. Even different sources you just take highest.


Different types of bonuses stack, but multiple instances of Energy Resistance aren't different sources. You simply have multiple instances of Energy Resistance.


Ok, that's what I thought. Just wanted to double check before I called him on it.
