In this case I think it is ok, since it is a rare occasion (a dragon fight) and it would be ruined with everyone having fire resist.  On those random situations where a few undead enemies get trashed by the party when they have necrotic resist, who cares? Occasionally letting the characters gear make encounters easy is a good thing. At least they feel like they are getting something out of it.</blockquote>
