Thanks for the replies and thoughts!

@Jonggonsales1 ... When I had 100% resistance to the debilitation, I nevertheless received: blindness from the gazer, petrifaction from cockatrices and once a gargoyle ... (more) ... and the incident that provoked my post/query was skill stifling in the Sparyard with two firedrakes. I can add one Cockatrice petrifaction incident occurred (in a previous game) when I was wearing the full Oblivion set. According to the wiki page on petrifaction, that is supposed to confer 100% immunity (I think the author mean 'resistance'?).

Thanks for letting me know my main character can't be possessed (so I take it that means I never need to worry about possession resistance, as it would only apply to my pawn). I didn't know that! :) I'd thought the pawns running around hollering "The possessed can't free themselves" and zapping me when I'm encased in pink or blue had something to do with the kind of possession I'd want to be immune to! Whew. Your explanation makes sense.

@Karathrax ... This is more what I thought, that resistance was not the same thing as immunity, and while your chances of getting clobbered with a debilitation were probably very low when you sported 100% resistance, that probability was still non-zero. In my experience, Resistance R Us, but immunity is not mine! :) Sobering wine. I wish these things didn't weigh so much.
