[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 6605584"] Unless you are already running a number of fire-resistant monsters, I question: has anything changed? The spells have the same damage numbers, the same areas of effect and the same requirements so unless you are running a game wherein fire-resistant creatures are common, what's changed? You have a disproportionate number of fire-resistant creatures because there's a huge section on demons. Are demons common in your game? I don't have a problem with re-skinning spells and it sounds like you've put some very real limitations on how quickly he can convert his library. So unless doing lightning damage instead of fire (or any other specific type) is a particular problem for your game, I don't see the issue. There are good reasons to have multiple types of damage and a single-damage-type spell-caster will find themselves with a high opportunity loss. It's worth tossing in that electrical damage can have some fun side effects. Fighting in the rain? [I]You[/I] might be immune, but your heavily-armored fighter standing in the puddle with your target? I don't think so! [/QUOTE]
