Fire resistance protects against most fire damage and the majority of hot objects, but it will not prevent potions from boiling or scrolls and spellbooks from burning, nor will it prevent non-fireproof armor from becoming burnt. It is a must-have before hitting Gehennom, as fire traps are prevalent there and capable of reducing your maximum hit points.
The most popular way to become fire resistant is to eat corpses. Especially foodless players will be interested in other ways, or at least in avoiding traps.
Monks get intrinsic fire resistance at XL 11, and priests at XL 20.[1] Crowning also brings fire resistance with it.
Extrinsic fire resistance is granted by
- Wearing a ring of fire resistance,
- Wearing red dragon scale mail or scales,
- Wielding Fire Brand,
- Carrying the Mitre of Holiness, the priest quest artifact.
Sources
