Perhaps it was just the campaign I played in, but it was not at all unusual for the doors in the big dungeon to have greater Glyphs of Warding (multiple Glyphs, actually) able to dish out a massive ammount of damage in one pop. In fact, once my druid volunteered to touch a door (hell, she ALWAYS touched the doors first) and the DM said "Roll save." "Ha! natural 20!" "Take 111 points of damage" (in first edition no less!)"But I made my save!""Yeah, that's half damage"Needless to say, had I not had Protection from Fire up, I would have been a pile of ash. Hell, had nearly ANYONE touched that door, they'd be a pile of ash. The dragon that placed the glyph was watching via crystal ball, and when the tiny half-elven druid took the best he could dish out without so much as a blister, he decided that this was someone worthy of an audience rather than worthy of a light snack.My point being that Resist is most useful for ignoring Fire Shields, fighting fire elementals, and ignoring the icy/flaming/shock weapons extra damage, but when push comes to shove, Protection will flat out save your hide.Twowolves Howling</blockquote>
