After going thru the FAQ, and the Big Book, I'm assumming theat the firebased weapons function like a modifier for things that are vulnerable? But what is that? I would like some clarification on the following:
1) What beings are affected by the firebased weapons. Is it only the critters from CL that they effect.
2) What about beings that are immune to fire, and does immunity mean that the weapon causes no damage what so ever, or still does the sword damage?
The way I have always played it is following: All "cold based" beings are affected. This includes beings immune to cold-based attacks (Ice Golem, Crystal Knight, Blue lotus eater), but sadly, very little else. I f a creature is immune to fire, then I just use the normal sword damage.
I'm curious to hear what others have to say.
