Just wondering: is the documentation incorrect on what type of elemental immunities plane-touched creatures get? The docs say '20% cold, fire, and electrical immunity'. However, in practice I'm seeing both an elemental immunity *plus* a resistance of 5 (at least towards cold, which is the only thing I've tested it for so far). My specific race is Tiefling.
Is the added elemental resistance incorrect or are the docs incorrect?
Thanks!

PnP v.3.5 Aasimars (acid, cold, and electricity) and Teiflings (cold, electricity, and fire) get 5 resist. The FRCS may say 20% immunity (I've never seen the FRCS for more than 5 minutes), so therein the confusion might lie. Not sure exactly what the skin applied in NS4 gives.

Yep - just tested it without having any cold immunity gear on and I'm just getting resistance and not immunity to cold damage.
So, I guess that's superior to 20% immunity until you get over 25 points of damage a hit. Nice!
Perhaps a documentation change then?
