I think DR 4 to 5 would be reasonable against fire-based attacks. This is enough to negate 1d of damage, which is enough to feel useful without being overpowering.

That would probably be worth -60% in most games.

I don't see much point in building this as DR. The point cost is too high for this stunt to be worthwhile. I still think that the Immunity to Specific Environmental Hazard perk is the best model for this. I'd price this less generic version as an advantage worth between 2 to 5 points.
