Description[]
Resist Energy bestows damage resistance of 20/- to each type of elemental damage. Once the spell absorbs 30 points of damage from any single element type, the spell ends.
Notes[]
- Maximum possible absorbed damage is 146 (e.g. 29 Fire + 29 Cold + 29 Acid + 29 Electricity + 30 Sonic).
- Resistance from feats stacks with this spell. At first damage reduced by resistance granted by feat and after that remaining damage further reduced by resistance granted by spell.
DnD 3.5 Resist energy[]
Description: This abjuration grants a creature limited protection from damage of whichever one of five energy types you select: acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic. The subject gains energy resistance 10 against the energy type chosen, meaning that each time the creature is subjected to such damage (whether from a natural or magical source), that damage is reduced by 10 points before being applied to the creature's hit points. The value of the energy resistance granted increases to 20 points at 7th level, and to a maximum of 30 points at 11th level. The spell protects the recipient's equipment as well.
Resist energy absorbs only damage. The subject could still suffer unfortunate side effects, such as drowning in acid (since drowning damages comes from lack of oxygen) or becoming encased in ice.
Note: Resist energy overlaps (and does not stack with) protection from energy. If a character is warded by protection from energy and resist energy, the protection spell absorbs damage until its power is exhausted.
NWN comparison[]
- NWN was faithful to the DnD 3.0 version of this spell, unlike NWN2's version which works completely different than DnD 3.5 version
