Thanks.

Powers - Divine Favor page 10:

Resistant to Pain
Pain is a “Very Common” effect for the purpose of Resistant (p. B80). Resistant to Pain +3 is High Pain Threshold (p. B59). Resistant to Pain +8 [15] (or Very High Pain Threshold) acts as High Pain Threshold, with an additional +5 on knockdown and stunning rolls, rolls to resist painful or stunning afflictions, rolls to resist physical torture, and all HT rolls to recover from being physically stunned. Immunity to Pain [30] allows you to completely ignore the effects mentioned above.

Powers The Weird page 23:

Pain: “Pain” is a Very Common category. Resistant to Pain (+3) is equivalent to High Pain Threshold (p. B59). Immunity to Pain lets you ignore knockdown, physical stun, physical torture, and painful or stunning afflictions.

...

Agony: You are conscious but in such terrible pain that you can do nothing but moan or scream. If standing or sitting, you fall down. While the affliction endures, you lose 1 FP per minute or fraction thereof. After you recover, anyone who can credibly threaten you with a resumption of the pain gets +3 to Interrogation and Intimidation skill rolls. Low Pain Threshold doubles the FP loss and torture bonus. High Pain Threshold lets you overcome the agony enough to function, but at -3 to DX and IQ.

Immunity to Pain should make you immune to Pain and Agony. High Pain Threshold has its quoted effects. But how Very High Pain Threshold works is not entirely clear; maybe:

*Or maybe leave Agony at -3 but no fatigue loss?
