[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 6351629, member: 2011"] I'm basing it off of past experience with playing the game. As an example from the 4E compendium: 5326 creatures 775 have resist and fire somewhere in their writeups. 306 have resist and acid somewhere in their writeups. 208 have resist and variable somewhere in their writeups. Since not all of the ones with resist and fire actually have resist fire, one could estimate half or so at best. Just glancing through the list, there are creatures with vulnerable to fire, but resist to something else. Even if every single creature with those words in their writeups had the appropriate resist, it would be 1 in 7 for fire resist and 1 in 15 for acid resist and 1 in 27 for variable resist. So yeah, I'm thinking that 5E is not going to be this game where any significantly higher percentage of monsters will have resistance to fire than 4E. Granted, even if 1 in 10 monsters have the ability, it's just as easy to hit them with a cold attack and the feat still sucks. :lol: [/QUOTE]
