In the champion system there is both spell resist and elemental defender. Does Spell Resist not help against flame, frost, and lightning already though? Why would there be a need for both?
Traditionally, we could always get more Fire protection, or any specific Elemental protection, than overall Magic Protection for the same resources used. This just sounds like the same way to do this in the Champion System.
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
