Just out of curiosity, what do you think happens to a Fire Elemental when dunked in water? They have water aversion, which means they cannot cross/enter water, but what if it isn't their fault?
For example, in our Savage Species game last week, my Fire Elemental Barbarian ended up on a bridge when he was hit with a harpy's song. He failed his Will save vs the song. He failed his will save when the most direct route led him over the edge of the bridge. He failed his reflex save to catch the bridge when he realized there was water below him. Thus, one dunked Fire Elemental.
We really weren't sure what whould happened to him, since the books say nothing about water actually doing damage, just that they have to avoid it. We temporarily ruled that he just freaked out. He had enough weight for him to sink to the bottom then run along the riverbed. We rolled each round on a grenade scatter chart to see which direction he ran. He ran 480ft up stream before he turned into a wall. Then he made his intelligence check to realize he could get out of the water by climbing. It took him a bit of time and a gallon of skumble to calm him down afterwards.
The character itself has some kind of twisted fascination with water, though. It's so pretty, and yet so scary. He rather likes his necklace of create water 3/day. It's fun to dowse his party members.
We're still not sure exactly what should happen to him the next time it happens, though. Any thoughts?
