If I have resistance to fire and heat metal was cast on my sword, would the resistance do anything to the con save to keep a hold of it? My thought process is since It would be 1/2 as hot I would also be 1/2 as likely to drop it. Thanks
You make the save with a regular roll, you'll just take half damage if you keep hold of it. And you still deal with the other side effects of the spell.
Something immune to necrotic damage can still be affected by the side-effect of being hit with a Chill Touch spell, after all.

Not RAW, but there's nothing wrong with ruling that way. It certainly makes thematic sense.
RAW, resistance only reduces the damage you take.
