PLR

Fire Resist modifies fire damage by a percentage, after Magic Damage Reduced has been applied; FR -100% is the floor, while FR > 99% makes a unit Immune to Fire.

Player and mercenary normally have a ceiling of FR 75%, but this can be increased to FR 95% by applying +% Maximum Fire Resist (although any excess can offset penalties that might otherwise reduce it below this ceiling). Difficulty level penalties of FR -40% in Nightmare and FR -100% in Hell (-20% and -50% respectively in Classic games) also apply to them.
Fire damage tends to be less damaging than lightning but it is much more consistent, so resistance tends to be important.

Monster

Consult individual monster pages for fire resistance of a particular monster, or individual area pages for fire resistance of all monsters in a particular area.

Several Unique bonuses apply FR bonuses to that monster, in the order in which their labels are displayed. [3] [4] If a bonus results in FR > 99%, it is only applied if a monster has less than two immunities beforehand (in which case it either becomes Immune to Fire, or increasingly so).
- FR +75% is applied by the Fire Enchanted bonus.
- FR +40% is applied by the Magic Resistant bonus, but only if the monster has FR < 100%. [5]
- FR +20% is applied by the Spectral Hit bonus, but only if the monster has FR < 75%. [6]
