First, I don't know of any PC that has it.  Second it's
theoretically possible to get it from some sort of magical phenomena
(both Roland and Killian have it!) like a scroll or pool, but I don't
know if Hugh has actually the particular scroll in the game.  It adds
ALOT to PF, probably at least the equivalent to plate for every level.
I'm sure it can go up magically,but don't think it will soon.  It's
probably alot like magic resistance was for many turns.  Certain
creatures have it, but it might take a long time before it's POSSIBLE for
others to get it, and don't think that your character will ever get it.

Does this show that skills aren't affected by weapon resistance
or that once overcome weapon resistance doesn't help anymore or reduced
in affect?

Also many times you don't notice that a particular creature has
weapon resistance (how many times have your characters wounded a rock
spider and NOT gotten a message about overcoming weapon resistance?).
Anybody know what triggers the message about wr or is it just a random thing?
