Hey hear me out
Starting with Infernal Tiefling gets you Fire Resistance
We get Gate Warden/Planar Philosopher Background and get the feat Scion of the Outer Planes and choose Evil Outer Plane to get Resistance to Necrotic
Infernal Constitution at lvl 4 gets you Cold and Poison Resistance
Maybe at lvl 12/16 we can get Planar Wanderer feat to choose Acid
War cleric 17 gives you PERMANENT Resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing and Slashing
The Sapphire Buckler from FToD gives resistance to Psychic and Thunder
Boon of Energy Resistance can get you Lightning and Radiant
So we end up being resistant to 12/13 damage types, 10 of which we are PERMANENTLY resistant.
(If you want the missing one Ring of Resistance: Force, do exist and doesn't even requires attunement)

Is it possible to get resistance to all damage types? Or how many is possible?

acid, bludgeoning, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, piercing, poison, psychic, radiant, slashing, and thunder.

Species gives 1 (dwarf for poison seems rarest)
Bear Barbarian 3 gives 5 (including 2 any)
Ancient Paladin 7 give 3 (including psychic that Bear can't get)
Boon of Energy resistance gives another 2 (also can reflect often)
= 11

Any other way to add one?
Any force resistance anywhere?
 

Does any of this translate into the player being resistant to the damage dealt by the DM throwing dice at them? That's the damage resistance that I think would be most necessary when pursuing this strategy.
