Do Liches take 50% more damage from fire?

First Post
Glancing over the Lich template {skeleton too] on the d20srd.org web page, i noticed the "immunity to cold" was linked to cold immunity. Now that entry lists Cold Immunity automatically giving vulnerability to fire(+50%damage from fire). Now that is something i would have expected the MM entry to actually list, like they do for the frost worm.

Immunities (Ex)
Liches have immunity to cold, electricity, polymorph (though they can use polymorph effects on themselves), and mind-affecting attacks.

So am the only one wondering about this issue?

{Not that lich is that crippled by this since most casters get Protection from Energy.

That's an error. Being immune to cold doesn't automatically make one vulnerable to fire. It's the cold subtype that automatically comes with both immunity to cold and vulnerability to fire.
 


A more amusing question might be, "Does the energy immunity spell grant immunity to cold, or cold immunity? Because if it's the latter, it also grants vulnerability to fire . . . " :p
