Tiefling + Ranger: Wastelander Fire = Immune to fire?

[Vexov]

1) Only 50% reduction, the other is lost.
2) Stacks for 100%.
3) 50% fire damage reduced, then another 50%. (100 = 50 = 25).

[alanc9]

My understanding is that RAW says it's case 1: no stacking.

[NixAhmose]

In regular dnd my groups we always just assumed that it would fire damage by 75%, but I have no idea how Larian does the calculation here.

[alanc9]

Can you get hit with fire damage in the prologue? Someone should test this.

[Soft Lockpick]

Can't you stack both of these on chargen and just go stand in fire to find out?

I think it's #1. But if not #2 you are better off going and picking up a different resist anyway mathematically

[zero]

doesn't stack doesn't add.

you can take the better of two options if thats ever the case (IE if you have 2 AC formulas)

but in this example, you just have resistance. choice 1

[Crankganker]

no it doesnt work only 50% with both. already tried it

[wendigo211]

According to the rules[5e.d20srd.org] it should be case 1. Multiple cases of damage resistance and vulnerability are treated as only one case.

Managed to die within about two minutes of starting. Answer = "Yes". Moral: don't stand in the flames.

Ranger getting resistance to Fire / Cold / Poison is absolutely bonkers. It's equivalent to a permanent 3rd level Protection from Energy spell.

Tieflings make sense because it's a physical trait from being a half fiend. Rangers get it because... they've seen lava somewhere??

Really, it should be an Advantage to Saving Throw instead. A Tiefling Ranger would also benefit from both abilities then which makes sense.

They gotta buff rangers though

[teksuo]

resists dont stack at all im pretty sure.

(strongheart halfling+poison resist ring) is still just 50% dmg reduction for example

feels kinda bad - no resists min/maxing in this game.

[zenebatos1]

Resistances do not stack.

If you have to make a Save to only get half of the damage from and effect or spell, and have resistance, then you gain an effective 75% resistance (Save half the damage, and resistance half the remaining damage)

But Resistances do NOT stack.

As someone who likes the D&D Ranger class regardless of edition (4e doesn't exist) I am going to say it...

Have you PLAYED a Ranger in PnP? The class changes that Larian did to the Ranger are changes that I am literally going to put into my home campaign. I think the ability to get a resistance based on where you are known to frequent is brilliant.

Now to go be an evil ♥♥♥♥ in the game and kill an entire Grove of refugees and druids...

I just took the poison resistance, I don't believe that fire resistances stack, i't like if you took the ranger knight stuff with a noble background, both give you proficiency in History, but you just get one of those bonuses.

[Yuri]

But there was some intances that my half elf ranger with fire resistance took no damage from burning hands, for example, but I just figure it that it was due to a sucessful saving throw or something.
