If a Cold subtype creature casts Fire Shield on itself so that it'd take half damage from Fire attacks, and then also casts Resist Energy on itself to give itself DR 30 vs Fire, what damage would it take from a Maximized Orb of Fire (90 damage normally)? I need order of operations clarification here.
Is it 90/2 (Fire Shield) and then -30 (Resist Energy) and then *1.5 (vulnerability to fire) or maybe it's -30 first and then the percentage reductions and increases apply? In the first case the damage would be a paltry 23. In the second case, the damage would be 45.
