This skill category enables you to learn how to resist the damage causing effects of one of the five elements related to the Coloured Dragons. When you learn this Skill, you specify which of the five elements - Fire, Poison, Cold, Electricity or Acid - you wish to be resistant to. Rank one will allow immunity to damage from minor spells or spell like, Rank two allows immunity to moderate spells and spell like effects whilst Rank three makes the character immune to all damage from that element. This skill may be purchased multiple times but only once per rank per element. Once you have learnt this skill, your character's body becomes resistant to the element but not any items you may be carrying or wearing.
Also, this Skill does not act as a NEGATE Spell so, if you are within the area affected of a POISON CLOUD spell and you have POISON RESISTANCE II, you will be unharmed but the spell will affect anyone else caught in its area of effect. It is possible, but very expensive to learn to resist all five elements. In order to do this, you must learn each rank of this Skill five times.
