+X% to Maximum Poison ResistSame against players
Maximum Poison Resist raises the cap on your Poison Resist. The cap is 75% for every character; each point of this stat lifts it by one, up to an absolute ceiling of 95%.
It only helps if you already have enough poison resist to reach the new cap; otherwise it does nothing.
The difficulty penalty comes off before the cap: in Hell you need +195% poison resist from all sources to stand at 95%.
The Jade Tan Do gives +20%, Spirit Keeper and Andariel's Visage +10%. To shorten poison rather than weaken it, see Poison Length Reduced. See also Maximum Fire Resist, Maximum Cold Resist and Maximum Lightning Resist.

Source: itemstatcost.txt (maxpoisonresist) and properties.txt over the property codes of the game's item tables, the runeword lines and skills.txt (build 3.3.93847). Magic affixes are the ones that can spawn; a runeword's line includes what its runes add in that slot. “LoD 1.14d” is the value in classic Diablo II's last patch where it differs (uniques, set items, runewords' own bonuses, runes and gems; from blizzhackers/d2data); a D2R chip marks what 1.14d did not have. “Strongest” ranks items by the top of their roll range. · Report incorrect data
