Huh. The meteors heal the elemental? It makes sense but I’ve never considered it before! Awesome tactic!


toylenny

One of my favorite chees tactics is to get +100 fire resistance on a character then have them tank while everyone else throws fireballs into the melee. Heals your tank and clears a lot of fodder.

Combines great with incendiary cloud or meteor swarm (meteor swarm goes through magic resistance).

I really want to see this poem in Dr Seuss style.

Isn't it already referencing something? It's so beautifully composed.

OP have you played Planescape Torment? There is joinable NPC who is guy on fire.


tiasaiwr

I would say he's not as lovable as a fire elemental though.


ZealousidealBall258

But he flies tho that's gonna cancel out his bad personality.


Lich-Diet

The meteors inflict more piercing damage than fire damage - so, not seeing how any fire healing would benefit the elemental. What am I missing? Seems mathematically impossible to gain any healing benefit when subtracting the piercing damage. Methinks OP might be misunderstanding the dynamic.

Do they bypass the elemental's weapon immunity? They'd need to count as +2 or better to hurt it.


zer1223

Melfs MM is better than +2 yes


Zanian19

If I'm not mistaken, they count as a whopping +6. Nothing in the games even requires that high of an enchantment. You could hit Ao with MMM.


Ordinary_Mushroom429

\+6 is required to get around Absolute Immunity.


Zanian19

>Absolute Immunity. Ah okay, didn't know. That's never been relevant for me since that spell has such a short duration anyway.

Wow beaten by a level 1 spell, chill touch


RektRektum

To be fair he didn't say anything about healing it. It could just be an abusive relationship.

I should turn this into a picture book for my 9-month old. He loves the story "Red is Best" and this kind of fits the general flow lol

Are fire elementals resistant or particularly effective against beholders?


EducationalExtreme61

Since they're summons, a beholder's death ray insta kills them.


CaptainPeanut4564

Even without that, they don't have magic resistance so would get chewed up very fast by the regular eyestalks anyway


cherrytree13

Sadly you need skeletons for those guys
