(split much)

IMO, the negative bonus that you can't overcome is part of the penalty for 
choosing a race/god.
If you could, from -30, reach 100, there would be really no point for the -30 
in the first place... There are, I think, enough items to have high 
resistances everywhere, so that -30 wouldn't matter much.

Code complexity has nothing to do here :)
Code is at the service of features we want, not the other way around unless 
there is a really good reason - in this case none of those.
