Natural Resistances?

StarVid · 01-14-2002, 02:09 PM

I was creating some characters, a dwarf cleric and gnome illusionist, both of which should have natural resistances to magic. After the creation, I checked their profiles, but under resistances it was all 0's. Why is this? I remember with Viconia in the BG series, her magic resistance was listed, what's the deal with IWD and HoW? Thanks.

The dwarfs natural resistances to poison, magic etc. usually are implemented in the form of modifiers to savings throws and NOT % resistances. The savings throws ARE adjusted based on con bonus where approriate.

I should have realized that. I remember that from 2nd PnP. Their bonuses were given to their saving throws. Thanks.

No problem. Easy enough to overlook that. Same holds true for the Paladins +2 to saves by the way.
