Might And Magic 7 Resistances vs. Effects

[Bandobras Took]

On the page here, it tells you how to calculate the chance of resisting an effect, but I'm uncertain how to calculate a resistance value to plug into the formula. Does it use the same table as stats (i.e. 500 body resistance would give me a value of 30)?

Is there a cap on effective resistance amounts?

[Baronus]

All statistics give bonus according to the table below.

Write Grayface.
All means all :o)
1 and 1/3 = 75%
then
1 and 1/4 = 60 %
then
1 and 1/5,6,7 etc.
For each 20 points.

I merely wasn't sure if "resistances" were included in "statistics."

So the best a person can ever hope for (outside of Protection From Magic/Immunity) of avoiding status effects is a 2 in 3 chance to not get affected?

[Baronus]

Sorry you are right you ask. Resistances are like armor. 1 point means 1 point. No 500 means 30.
Resistances are magic armor.

Also, immunity doesn't really work. Liches are immune to Mind and Body, yet they still take damage from these kinds of attacks. Probably a coding error.

[Bandobras Took]

It's possible that immunity only applies to status effects that use the particular resistance; I think Vampires in MM8 can't be paralyzed, for example. I'm not sure, though.
