Resistance to hot things.
12 years ago
I have fire resistance +25
That means I don't get burned easily.
I have worked at a pizza place for several years. I have burned myself many times and I have handled many hot things. Over years of conditioning my body has built up a resistance to heat and burning damage. The oven at my work runs at 450 Fahrenheit. I can grab metal pans out of there with my bare hands without burning myself. It sounds crazy but it is true.
There is something similar in martial arts called iron palm training. You train by hitting your hands against things.

OK, although Wikipedia only talks about hitting hard things like gravel my old martial arts teacher talked about thrusting your hands into sand with fire under it. Maybe he was extra hard-core or maybe it was called fire-hand or something. I don't remember.
All I know is I don't get burned easily.
A wile back I talked with a very nice fursuit maker at Oklacon
LunoVulpes and she was talking about the hazards of fursuit making and the dangers of hot glue. She told a story about how she got a bead of hot glue wrapped around her finger and the nasty blister that followed.
I said "Ouch! That sucks."
I don't have any experience with that actually happening to me personally.
I can leave my (high temp) hot glue gun on for hours and pour out a huge bead and run my finger across it like it was icing on a cake.
I have fire resistance +25
The moral of the story is that video game stats and roll playing games actually do translate into real life. If you do something a lot you get good at it. Alternately, if you expose yourself to something harmful you build up a resistance to it. Biology is amazing.
Warning and disclaimer: Don't touch hot things unless you have touched hot things 1,000 times. Also, do not take iocane powder.
