In Reply to: simple maths (1+1 = 2), vuln(-1) + resist(1) = 0...normal(0) + resist(1) = 1 posted by Graham on August 18, 1999 at 22:06:47:

When it comes to attack types, there are three possible states: normal, vulnerable, and resistant. It's all one bit, that can have three possible values. Addition isn't involved.... Resist items set that value to 'resistant,' regardless of who's wearing it.

This applies to straight "resist cold," "resist heat," and items that provide the like. Other skills like protection from elements or protection heat cold function differently.

On a related note, a simple piece of advice... maybe you could do something like make sure you're right before being a pompous ass. If you're right, then by all means, go ahead and be pompous...

• Apologies, not having a direct link with all the imms renders me less knowledgeable but a vuln linked with a resist always seem to make you normal not resistant (and btw there are plenty of secret things coded in cf that are bloody stupid or should be made common knowledge) Graham 23:33:08 8/18/99 (1)
