Do items add stats properly?

So I find an item, "Wizard's hat" with the stats +2 magery +1 resistance. I put the item on my character and his resistance goes up, but his ability to resist things does not, they just stay the same. Putting real skillpoints into resistance is increasing the chance to resist things though..

 

Also why does a character with 114% protection from fire still take fire damage?

The simple answer is that the percentage protection values shown on the statistics screen are nonsense, or at best only loosely connected to the character's true resistance values. I don't know if it is known precisely or quantitatively, but the true resistance, used when the character takes damage, is generally understood to asymptotically approach some value which is less than or equal to 100%.
