I KNOW we're on the same team!

I enchanted up some fire resistance armor for Vorstag, and made him 100% immune to fire. Now, when he rushes into the room to fight the enemy of the moment, I can throw in fireballs without fear of toasting my companion.

Even though he is completely unhurt by my spell, he constantly complains, keeps telling me to watch what I am doing, and reminding me that we're on the same team.

And I thought Lydia got on my nerves.

85% is the highest resistance in the game. You're still hurting him. Just less.

I thought the 85% was just for Resist Magic, not the individual elemental resistances.

It really svcks when Lydia charges forward to tank a Draugr while Esbern lobs fireballs.

After the Draugr goes down, Lydia starts swinging on Esbern and there's no way to stop it. You can down Esbern but he just resumes the fight when he gets up. Esbern will KILL Lydia because of his Flame Cloak spell damaging her after she goes down.

Pretty much have to leave my companion behind if I'm doing anything with a caster follower for a quest. :sadvaultboy:

As far as I know the cap is 85% for all though they are multiplicative. Magic resistance covers both elemental attacks so if you stack 50% magic resist with 50% frost resist you would actually be 75% resistant to frost. Meaning, if you stacked all three (which isn't even possible I don't think) at 85% you could theoretically be 98% resistant to elemental damage but never 100%. Stacking just the same elemental will never get you above 85% according to what I've read.

I paid him 500 septims and have given him thousands worth of equipment. If I don't feel bad about svcking the souls of bandits to create that equipment, I'm not going to get worked up about a little singed hair. :shifty:

Stacking 85% magic resist with just 25% of each of the elemental resists means taking less than 2% of any given elemental damage type, and it's quite easy to do.
