items resistances not working as intended

Post by zach_holbrook »

I've discovered that items granting resistance don't work on my main PC, though they kick in as normal for companion characters.

When you equip the item, does it show the resistance percentage on the character sheet? Or is it a case of the resistances not taking effect in combat? I thought that item resistances were functioning, but it could be something with a main PC/companion dynamic. It seems strange the engine would make a distinction, I thought once other party members join, they would all behave like player characters?

I figured it out. It did seem odd, and then I tried with other characters, and it worked -- but it didn't work with all of them. Then I realized that the common element all the characters had was a trait that affected their resistances. Sure enough, the bonus effect wasn't stackable. I changed it, and now all's good.
