Yeah, I landed on DR 5 against heat and fire for the reasons you described.

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.
Considering that it would also have the -40% limitation Heat/Fire only, if you calculate the 25 additional levels of DR needed for magma with a limitation cap of -95% (which Power-Ups 8 says is allowable for severely limited traits), it comes in to a smidge over 6 points, suggesting that 5 points for an immunity to environmental magma and fire would be fairly reasonable for this build at least.

Do you think this should still be accompanied by something to stop heat from forcing HT rolls and fatigue loss?
