[QUOTE="NMcCoy, post: 5314515, member: 61546"] I'm playing a fire-oriented Dragon Sorcerer. So far it hasn't been problematic at all, though some of that may be due to a combination of rare combat, plot-fueled special abilities, and an accommodating DM. Mechanically, I'd recommend picking up an elemental quarterstaff (which can be used as an implement for wizards) to retype your spells when needed - either to or from cold, as you prefer. Resistance doesn't ever affect non-damage effects of powers, even if the damage is reduced to 0. Searching the Compendium for "immune cold" turns up only 15 monsters total. Quoth the Compendium, on immunity: "A creature that is immune to a damage type (such as cold or fire), a condition (such as dazed or petrified), or another specific effect (such as disease or forced movement) is not affected by it. A creature that is immune to charm, fear, illusion, poison, or sleep is not affected by the nondamaging effects of a power that has that keyword. A creature that is immune to gaze is not affected by powers that have that keyword." [/QUOTE]
