The particular monsters I was testing leech on were subclasses of megademons (66 leech modifier) and fingermages (33 leech modifier), which explains the low returns.
For the Physical Resistance in Hell the amount ranges through a great variety of amounts from 0 to 100%.
The Lower Resist and Conviction lowering the monster resistances below 100% (removing the "Immunity" designation) appears to be intentional as there are quite a few monsters that have reistances of over 100 now, especially in hell difficulty. The cold resistances have some of the highest values to probably counter the sorceress Cold Mastery effect when used at only low skill levels. The only other extreamly high resistance that I noted so far is the most the "inanimate monsters" (fire tower for one) have a poison resitance of 1000.
On the note of Lower Resists, I noticed that in the effects of it that are listed under aurastat columns in skill.txt. Currently, there is no column for magicresist. Was this omission specific to disable interaction of LR and Bone skills, or did the authors simply forget that it should be affecting them? Or perhaps there is no such thing as magicresist modifier? I would put together a patch to test if I could simply add magicresist modifier and hopefully enable magic/LR interaction, but today it's out of the question... Perhaps someone wants to test this today =)
