Racial Energy Resistance does not stack with Class Energy Resistance

Post by False Nibble »

Description of Bug Experienced:
Racial Energy Resistance (e.g. 20/- Fire for Imps) does not stack with Energy Resistance from Classes (e.g. 30/- Fire from Fire Elementalist).

Steps to reproduce the Bug:

  • Make a level 20 Imp Fire Elementalist
  • Hit yourself with a Maximized Fireball
  • Notice how you absorb 30 fire damage instead of 50 (20 from Imp Resistance + 30 from Fire Elementalist)

Expected Result:
Absorb 50 fire damage, 20 from Racial Energy Resistance and 30 from Class Energy Resistance.

Actual Result:
The Energy Resistances do not stack and only the highest one is used.

Additional Information/Notes:
I am unsure if this is the intended behavior. Feel free to close this if it is.

Just like in base NWN, resistance doesn't stack. More information here: https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Damage_resistance
