There is not great need for that resistance but that AC 1 is great for thieves, as they could wear it.
I suggest to wear Crimson Chain and give Shadow Dragon Scale to a thief, until you'll find the White Dragon scales
In Watcher's Keep, 3rd lvl
To get a -2 AC Armor +50% Cold Resistance.
You can actually install a mod that lets you make the White Dragon Scale in SOA I think. Its only on level 3 of the Keep too, and its what I use on Hexxat.
Neither one will let you use a protection item though so that might be a big loss.
Shadow Dragon Scale -> AC 1 (-1 vs slashing, 0 vs piercing and missile) +50% acid resistance
Crimson Chain +5 -> AC 0 (-2 vs slashing, 2 vs crushing)
They both disallow protection item stacking :-(
EDIT: I really need to sell one of them to buy some nicer stuff for other party members.
That or go on a burglary spree...
What type of damage do the enemy bosses usually do ?
and by end game ToB: leather of thorns, which pretty much acts likes a fire shield (1-4 fire damage to anyone who hits you)
*Remember, if you get a particular resistance to >100, it actually starts healing you!
Eg:
Red Dragon Plate (+50% vs fire)
Dragon Helm (+25% vs fire, cold & electric)
Dragon Scale Shield (+25% vs fire, cold & electric)
Ring of Fire Resistance (+40% vs fire)
Boots of Grounding (+50% vs electric
Gives:
50% vs cold (half damage from cone of cold)
100% vs electricity (no damage from lightning bolts)
And
127% vs fire (fireballs heal you 27%)
(127 is max resistance btw... My maths isn't quite that bad!)
I know you're a barbie and can't wear red dragon plate, but the principle is the same.
I wasn't just making an off-color joke. Okay, I was doing that too, but…
