Cold resistance is a fairly important resistance to have. It will protect against most cold attacks and reduce slipping on ice. However, most cold attacks will still freeze potions, destroying them.
Cold resistance is fairly easy to obtain through eating corpses. White dragons provide cold resistance, as do most "cold" monsters, like blue jellies and winter wolves. The Valkyrie starts out with intrinsic cold resistance, being from the frigid Northlands, and Monks get cold resistance at XL 13; any character may gain resistance by crowning. Extrinsic sources of cold resistance include white dragon scales, white dragon scale mail, and the ring of cold resistance, as well as Frost Brand when wielded.
Monsters that are resistant to cold but not to fire are considered vulnerable to fire and take double damage from fireballs[1] and 7 more points of damage from rays of fire.[2] This never applies to your character, even while polymorphed.
