What type of resist does starfire check against? Magic resist
significantly reduces the damage I take from clerical casters,
and fire/cold resist does the same against wizard-type
casters. It's less effective against higher level mobs (wish
that were true when it's the player casting on a mob), but
on several occasions I've gone from "Oh crap, I'm going to
die - keep my resists up, maybe the others can get away" to
"Hey, I'm not taking that much damage, maybe my party can kill
it before it kills me."
