I have a follow-up to that question.&lt;br /&gt;Do you have to have the Armor Self (VI,ect) spell on you for the other protection spells to work?&lt;br /&gt;Example, if you put on Fire Protection pants &amp; a Cold Protection Shirt and your only Armor Self item is a shirt, leaving you without Armor Self, is that a waste? Theoretically your skin's AL would still be Zero, but your resistance to fire and cold would be increased from below avg. to a higher value...however, with an AL of Zero it wouldnt make any difference.&lt;br /&gt;Thanks in advance! Sorry for the rambling question, but I think I made myself clear enough. =)<br /> | Answered = 2001.03.28<br /> | Dev = Eric<br /> | Answer = Well, there are two sets of numbers at play here, and it can get a little complicated. But I'll give it a shot...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Natural Armor level is zero. So yes, in order for your natural armor attributes (described in the previous Q&amp;A; page) to have any meaning, you need to cast Armor Self on yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spells like Fire Protection and Cold Protection don't affect your natural armor; they affect another, special set of Resistance Values that work in a different way. You don't need to cast Armor Self on yourself to take advantage of Fire Protection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Another detail: natural armor, like all armor, is bypassed by war magic. But the special Resistances used by Fire Protection etc. don't change your natural armor; they use a separate set of values that DO protect you from war spells, as well as from physical attacks.)<br /> }}<br /> }}</div>
