I'm doing research on a D&D character in a more of a homebrew campaign. My character is from the mountains and raised on an alpaca farm. She wears the fiber she gets from them. IRL Alpaca fiber is water and fire resistant, lighter than wool and all around amazing.
As an experienced player (or smart n00b etc)... would you say it is also resistant to magic or magic fire? I want to build a solid case for my DM and figured here would be a great place.
I would normally say no, because magical fire is magical for a reason. That being said, maybe you can spin it that your alpaca herd grazes on a local plant that imbues them with fire resistance, and thus, shares that property with their wool.

Magic doesn't bypass damage resistance. If you're underwater, you have resistance to fire damage whether the fire damage is magical or not. Likewise, magic weapons don't bypass a Barbarian's damage resistance from Rage.
If the alpaca fibers are protective enough that you'd give resistance to normal fire, it should protect against magical fire too, unless the caster has the Elemental Adept feat.

As a DM, I'd let you have DR 1 against fire and water.

That's a great idea about where they graze. And that's a great call / gift as a DM. I'm glad to see it's an accepted idea/theory to an extent :)
Thank you!
