OK. Good to know. I put on every bit of jewelry that I had that raised resistance in a test but it didn't quite get me to 16. I'm betting the first time through, I had high spiritual defense because, well, it didn't happen. I kept a save there but, really, just moved on. Each time I tried something as a test, the chest had an orange bottle - I rarely used stamina or strength potions and I'm rolling in gold so I wouldn't have gone back to the save anyway.
I have this craving for a carrot, though ---------
