Steam resistance as an item power?
 

I want to create a set of armor that resists steam damage (e.g. Dragon Turtle breath weapon, et al)

I copied Acid Resistance, Improved Acid Resistance and Greater Acid Resistance. I changed everything over to reflect steam damage except for the eval scripts. There is one macro for each tier of resistance:

Resistance: #applyresist[xDamRsAcid, 10]
Improved Resistance: #applyresist[xDamRsAcid, 20]
Greater Resistance: #applyresist[xDamRsAcid, 30]

I need to change xDamRsAcid to its steam counterpart, or I need to otherwise emulate the #applyresist macro for steam damage instead of acid damage. So my first questions are:

1) Is there a steam counterpart for xDamRsAcid?
2) If not, what does #applyresist do? Does it just add a note to the armor?

Your question #1 is if there is a steam counterpart, but in your second sentence, you said you've created a steam counterpart (you copied acid resistance).

P.S. you did copy the real Acid Resistance - xDamRsAcid, not just some eidolon ability or whatever else called "Acid Resistance", right?

What I copied was:
iResAcid
iResAcidIm
iResAcidGr

I'm not sure where to look for xDamRsAcid. What tab is that under or what type of thing is it?

Never mind. I just found it under General > Ability
