• Elemental Conditioning

  Over the past years I've been conditioning myself against the elements without even thinking about it. I leave my windows in my bedroom open all year long. Even when it's freezing cold, I don't bother to close the windows or turn on the heat. When it's really cold at night in the freezing wind outside, I can be perfectly fine with just a t-shirt. When I wash the dishes in scalding hot water, I use my bare hands. At work, every once in a while I'll get shocked; I try to avoid it, but it happens. It used to hurt, but now it just tickles a bit. Although I haven't been working on my poison resistance, I may just have a stronger overall elemental resistance than the common man.

  From Diablo II:

  
  Natural Resistance
  
  Required Level: 30
  
  Prerequisites: Iron Skin [18]

  
  
  In order to survive the unforgiving lands of the north, the people of the Barbarian tribes have developed hardy resistances to the common elements. Heat and cold alike are something they endure often. Since food is scarce while foraging, they have learned to consume species of plants that would slay normal men. Through additional training, a warrior can further fortify himself against these dangers, allowing him to better survive while traveling to unfamiliar lands and battling unknown foes.

  Passive Effect: Increases resistances to elemental damage.

  Natural Resistance gives Resistances to Lightning, Fire, Cold, and Poison but does not include Magic Resistance.
