Best energy subtype

[Ravilah]

Okay, if your character had to have an elemental/energy subtype (giving you the appropriate immunities and an extra 1d6 damage with melee attacks) which do you think would be the best?

I don't think sonic or acid really counts though.

 

[Nifft]

Aww, no Sonic or Acid? Those are the two that shoot through schools*.

If the subtype also gives the associated vulnerability, then I'd choose Electricity. I'd hate taking +50% damage from a big fire or cold attack.

*) ... because they deal full damage to objects.

Fire is too commonplace, sonic too munchkinny and I've already played a wizard whose signature spell was a cold fireball. So it would have to be electricity or acid. I'd go with acid as it's a little rarer.

 

[Mechnomancer]

Fire is so common, that I'd choose that to be immune to over everything else. Most things with cold attacks live in cold area and are easy to avoid.
