something like ring of elemetal resistance. Is there such a spell/item/weapon/armour/shield that give such a thing?
My defender is immune to nearly all things except for magic based weapons... trying to be the ultimate defender here [img]tongue.gif[/img] if there isnt such a thing in undermountain, surely Z can make one can there be?

I've never actually tested this, so I can't say for sure, but if you get your magic resistance up as high as you can, you may be able to absorb the magic damage. Stands to reason that if a 32 Spell Resistance can abosorb a magic missile, it may also reduce magical damage. I'm not going to stand by this assertion however, as it is pure speculation.

Actually, no.
Spell Resistance only affects the chances of a spell working on you. To beat spell resistance a caster must roll: 1d20 + Caster Level + Any Spell Penetration feats (2,4, or 6) >/= Target's SR If they do, the spell goes through. Thus why spell resistance can eat spells. There is a Magic Damage resistance trait, but it can only be put on items.

Might have to settle for resistance, if you can find something. I don't remember seeing anything, but I'm a long way from seeing everything that's in the well.

A DD/monk build is very decent for this sort of damage resistance.
20/- for the monk 9/- for the DD Thats 29 damage off everything. There are a few other items/armours in the game that will help on top of that.

There is a cloak that gives a magic resistance of 32 in the game, which helps but I still managed to loose a fotitude save and die
mind you that was just once in two hours of gameing
