So, I was thinking of making an anti magic character build that could really kick butt, and I discovered the ancients paladin ability to give itself, and every ally in 10 feet, resistance too damage from spells. When I saw this, I had a question, can this stack with say, fire resistance when applied to a spell like fireball?
And then I asked myself, wait, if a character with resistance succeeds a save against fireball, does that resistance divide the already halved damage again? If so, then, if the spell resist from ancients stacks, this is gonna get crazy. And then I remembered that the rogue, at a certain level can use its reaction to halve damage against it.
So, assuming all of these can stack together, I slapped 3 levels barbarian on tgis build so I could get bear totem, and resistance to all damage except psychic while raging. Now this build, when hit by a non psychic attack that lets you roll for half damage, cam divide damage four times.
But that all relise on the answer tp this question: since the rule of resistances is that you cant have two of the same resistance from different sources (like fire resist from race feature, amd then also from class), but the ancients paladin feature isnt the same as any other resistance feature, can you stqck them together?
