      Last time I looked the resistance is accomplished by a

 Nope - if the sign for resistance is negative, you take more damage - this is
how vulnerabilities are done.

 The code form attack.c is:

	dam *= (100-op->resist[attacknum]);
      if (dam >= 100) dam /= 100;
      else
        dam = (dam > (random_roll(0, 99, op, PREFER_LOW))) ? 1 : 0;

 so giving a negative resistance will not do what you want to do.
