With a brand new install of a server as well as my old ones changing resist values in the rules have no effect at all on resists vs npcs.
According to this thread:

, only the spells:autoresistdiff rule affects npcs, yet no matter what the values are changed to (even a value of 1), I can still hit mobs many levels above me. I think something is wrong.
