Message: <blockquote data-quote="PureGoldx58" data-source="post: 5757867" data-attributes="member: 6671182">Elemental Savant? Finally a question I've been researching for a year! (I am playing one myself at the moment.)Flavor text is not RAW remember that, the special attack you gain is Burn that adds fire damage to your slam and they have to make a reflex or set on fire. In addition if they hit you they need to make a reflex. Also note that the DC of this special attack for YOU as an elemental savant is 20+your Con. (way higher than an elemental's)My conclusion, it doesn't say you can make a touch attack to set things on fire or mention specifically if you touch a flammable object that you set it on fire, so you don't, but a DM could EASILY house rule that you do.What normally happens to a fire elemental (I assume) is they become unsummoned, as you are a (Native) Outsider you aren't summoned and this is your home. This is going to be pure house-rule, I would say you are incapable of entering water of your own free will, but if you are pushed you land on top (treating it like a barrier) and probably slide across it, maybe taking damage but I can't imagine a lot of damage. "Special Qualities" is actually a specific part of a monster's stats, it isn't a descriptive word it is referring to something specific in a similar way that "ability score" refers to Str, etc.You gain Darkvision 60ft, Elemental Traits (pg. 308 in MMI under Elemental Type, under "Traits" you get all that), Immunity to Fire, and Vulnerability to Cold. No feats, no weight, no grapple bonus, and the voice thing refers to Ignan the language, which I hope you speak. You are a (Native) Outsider, yes. Once you are under 0 HP you stabilize or don't as normal. You are immune to non-lethal damage because you can't be crit also, so they can't MAKE you unconscious with a sap. You however, don't sleep, eat, or breathe anymore. Also don't forget you can't be paralyzed. It states that because Earth elementals aren't immune to acid. But fire means fire, all means all.You would be the best lava swimmer in your party! That's what would happen. Lava does fire damage so have fun! (I did!)Also, I say (Native) Outsider because you gain Elemental as your type but still retain a soul, and the only difference between Outsider and Native is a soul. That is more of using rules as a whole not separate, so can be RAI instead of RAW (DM's choice really).</blockquote>
