Earth gensai appear to not have acid DR and resistance
Posted: Fri Jul 15, 2022 6:12 pm
Description
================
My character is an earth gensai and one of the traits listed is "25% Acid Immunity" and 5/- Acid Resistance". I have noticed the spells melf's acid arrow and acid splash at least which do acid damage are not being diminished and the log is not showing any damage mitigation either. I do not know if other sources of acid damage beyond those two spells are being mitigated though.
Steps to reproduce
----------------------------
I have fought NPCs (archive imps in Cordor's library with their acid splash) and had a PC try casting melf's acid arrow a couple of times on my character.
Expected result
-----------------------
5 hp worth of acid damage being negated from the 5/- acid resistance and possibly more with the 25% acid immunity (not sure which is taken into account first the DI or the DR).
Actual result
-------------------
There does not seem to be any acid damage mitigation at all.

Misc Notes
----------------
My character is a shield dwarf earth gensai spellsword. He does have a helm which gives 16 SR and causes him to try and resist the spell. When he fails, he has been receiving full acid damage (as can be seen in the screen shot above of the archive imp who cast acid splash). I mention the SR in case failing to resist a spell could be causing something to go wonky in a script or something (not sure how NWN coding works for that sort of stuff).
