50 magic resistance vs Dunmer 50 fire resistance

Post » Sat May 11, 2013 5:25 am

Will a breton with 50% magic resistance help with the vampires weakness to fire like the dunmers 50% fire resistance? I'm asking this because I'm tired of playing as a dunmer vampire and want to be a human.

Ah, then yeah it's equal. 50% MR is 50% resist fire, frost and shock.

You get an extra 15% from a simple quest in Riften. That'll bring you to 65. I think the cap is 80%. EDIT: It's 85%. With the Alteration perks, or a few found enchantments, you can get to the cap.

good question, I would assume that if it's a fire spell then it would be the same but fire traps aren't magical. Also I would assume that dragons fire breath counts as magic since it does in lore and you can use wards to defend against shouts.

I was unaware of a magic resistance cap, I'm not denying it's true but now I'm curious and want to test it. I have a Nord vampire who hasn't fed so he has a 100% resistance to frost, 50 from stage 4 vamp and 50 from being Nord. I will try to find a frost dragon or ice wizard to see if they actually do damage.

It may work differently with special abilities like that. I'm interested in your results.
