As I said we have no frame of reference for how hot that fairly large volume of fire is. There are heat levels that will instantly melt or shatter and vaporize ice. About all we can say is it does 28ish points of fire damage to the ice. Does that break the damage threshold of ice or the volume of ice you are targeting?  Don't know there are no rules on it. We know ice has a AC of 13. Large resilient objects have 27hp. Really big objects can have a damage threshold where they take no damage unless one blow exceeds that amount. And a GM can rule a damage type might be ineffective. Does it get resistance? That's a GM call. Does a sheet of ice have one hp pool and it's all destroyed or not destroyed at all? Does partial damage reflect in a reflective % melting. Does a large sheet of ice effectively get hit dozens of times for 28 points of damage like each 5' square is a seperate hp pool?Given the rules I'd say it has HP like everything else. It would take full damage as its about as effective as an axe or pick given its volume and heat levels. The HP would vary based on its thickness. It would pick up a hp threshold after 3" that hp threshold would progressively get bigger the thicker the ice. Id try to remember what ruling I made last time to be consistent. I may give it resistance if the conditions are such that the ice would be much colder than normal.</blockquote>
