Under the kind of idea I was describing there, then stats like Pow, Wis
and Int could give bonuses to different resist points (including
negative resistances).

I've described that in more detail at:
http://wiki.metalforge.net/doku.php/user:cavesomething:resistances
(this page is linked to from the one Nicolas referenced above)

Hopefully a fighter character would think twice about putting 1
in INT or WIS if it guaranteed double or triple damage on almost every
magic attack used against them.
