Does Energy Resistance stack?

If a Favored Soul has Energy Resistance to fire (10) Then has a spell of Energy Resistance to fire (10) would they stack?

Also If a Favored Soul has 2 Energy Resistance ability , Could he pick both the same Elements and let them stack?

No and No.

Read PHB P.312 "resistance to energy". They don't stack with each other and only the highest value for a certain energy type is applied.

Only if the ability says it stacks (most don't).


Example, the Binder can choose a Energy resistance as a Soul Augment may choose the same type each time (stacking).

But very few times do they stack.

Right.

An example of where they do stack is the fiendish resistance feat (from complete mage) the energy resistance to acid and fire stacks with any you may have due to type, subrace, race, or class but not from other sources, such as spells ormagic items.
