Resistance modifies the relevant damage type by a percentage, after Damage Reduced and Magic Damage Reduced have been applied; Resist -100% is the floor, while Resist > 99% makes a unit immune to the relevant damage type. Increasing resistance decreases damage by a percentage, effectively increasing effective [[life]] against that damage type; conversely, decreasing it increases damage.

;{{S|=Final Resist > Initial Resist}}
Effective life multiplier = (100 - Initial Resist) / (100 - Final Resist)

For example, increasing resistance from 25% to 50% decreases damage from 75% to 50%, multiplying effective life by 1.5 (75/50); increasing it from 50% to 75% decreases damage from 50% to 25%, multiplying effective life by 2 (50/25) (the effect on effective life becomes '''more''' significant as resistance increases beyond 50%).

;{{C|=Final Resist < Initial Resist}}
Damage multiplier = (100 - Final Resist) / (100 - Initial Resist)

For example, decreasing resistance from 75% to 50% increases damage from 25% to 50%, multiplying damage by 2 (50/25); decreasing it from 50% to 25% increases damage from 50% to 75%, multiplying damage by 1.5 (75/50) (the effect on damage becomes '''less''' significant as resistance decreases below 50%).

The table below lists multipliers of damage or effective life as resistance increases or decreases:

[[File:Defense.png|600px|center|thumb|Player fire, cold, lightning and poison resistance are displayed in the bottom right corner of the character screen (and [[mercenary]] screen): Resist < 0% is displayed in red, Resist > -1% is in white (or blue when enhanced by a [[skill]] bonus) and in gold when the ceiling has been reached. Damage and magic resistance are not displayed.]]

Player and mercenary have a ceiling of [[Damage Resist|Damage Reduced]] by 50%, while for all other damage types they have a ceiling of 75% which can be increased to 95% by applying +% Maximum Resist (although any excess can offset penalties that might otherwise reduce it below this ceiling). [[Difficulty]] level penalties of -40% in Nightmare and -100% in Hell (-20% and -50% respectively in [[Classic]] games) also apply to the following for them:
*Fire Resist
*Lightning Resist
*Cold Resist
*Poison Resist
*Poison Length Reduced
*[[Mana damage]] [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/120188-energy-shield-damage-taken-goes-to-mana-mana-burn/&do=findComment&comment=1488880]
*[[Stamina damage]] [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/120188-energy-shield-damage-taken-goes-to-mana-mana-burn/&do=findComment&comment=1488880]
The character and mercenary screens normally display resistances accurately, with the following exceptions:
*[[Malah]] gives a [[Prison of Ice#Reward|{{Ub|=Scroll of Resistance}}]] applying +10% All Resistances to the player as a reward for rescuing [[Anya]] from the [[Prison of Ice]] in each difficulty level. {{Warn|=After dying in a game this bonus is no longer applied (although it is still displayed by the character screen), but it will be restored after saving and exiting.}}
*{{Warn|=Despite what the character screen displays, higher level [[Conviction]] will only prevent a hostile lower level being applied if the higher level is active '''before''' the lower level is applied; equal level '''never''' prevents hostile Conviction being applied.}} [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/120415-higher-conviction-overwriting-lower-conviction/&do=findComment&comment=1491149]
No such ceilings or penalties apply to [[pet]]s or monsters, who can become immune to multiple damage types.
