Hello all,
I was just curious...
If you have a power or ability that allows you to ignore Resistances to a certain element, does that also ignore immunity? 
I don't think it does, but I was just curious... and can't seem to find a solid ruling on it.
Likely I am just being dumb again.... lol.

thanks ahead of time for the help.

No.  It has to say it ignores immunity, to ignore immunity.  The rules do what they say, no more, no less.
Harrying your Prey, the Easy Way: A Hunter's Handbook - the first of what will hopefully be many CharOp efforts on my part.
The Blinker - teleport everywhere. An Eladrin Knight/Eldritch Knight.

CB != rules source.

Though if you had a game element that said to treat Immunity like resist, then you'd ignore the resist.

Right, but that is a case of a game element specifically treeating Immunity like it was Resist (Pyromancer level 1 Feature, for example). In general, Immunity is Immunity, and Resist is Resist. The former is not simply an extension of the latter to an nth degree.

Uh, the Pyromancer level 1 feature doesn't let you treat immunity as any level of resistance.  It lets you ignore fire resistance.  There is a feat that lets you treat fire immunity as resist 25 fire, though.
