Post Haflings/gnomes

In character creation it says that haflings and gnomes have a natural ressistance to magic. But when I look under ressestances when I have created one It doesn't say anything. Is it a MR % or something totaly different? If it is, what is it? Thanks

Telthos - I think that they get a saving throw (vs magic) bonus rather than a contribution to magic resistance as such. This is how the rule book (2nd ed AD&D)explains it. - Curdis

The bonus is to Saving Throws, and it also depends on your Constitution. Gnomes get +1 per 3.5 Cons to Save vs. Wands, and Save vs. Spell; Halfling also gets bonus to Save vs. Death.

Dwarves - or is it "dwarfs" - also get save bonuses for con like the gnome, though i think it applies to different saves.
