Necrotic Resistance. You have resistance to necrotic damage.
Blessing of the Raven Queen. As a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Start at 3rd level, you also gain resistance to all damage when you teleport using this trait. The resistance lasts until the start of your next turn. During that time, you appear ghostly and translucent.
OK, my question is ... would this effectively create immunity to necrotic damage for 1 round after using Blessing of the Raven Queen? You are already resistant, you teleport and 'gain resistance to all damage' - I assume necrotic is not exempt from that, resistance + resistance = immunity? Seems unintended RAW, or what am I missing here?
"Multiple instances of resistance or vulnerability that affect the same damage type count as only one instance. For example, if a creature has resistance to fire damage as well as resistance to all nonmagical damage, the damage of a nonmagical fire is reduced by half against the creature, not reduced by three-quarters."

Resistance is like Advantage. You have it, or you don't. It doesn't matter how many sources you get it from.

No, resistance does not stack. Either you have it and you take half damage, or you don't.
As per The_Ace_of_Rogues reply:
BASIC RULES rule
Player Handbook rule
"Multiple instances of resistance or vulnerability that affect the same damage type count as only one instance.

No, this is covered in the PHB which states: "Multiple instances of resistance or vulnerability that affect the same damage type count as only one instance." - https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/phb/combat#DamageResistanceandVulnerability
