[QUOTE="MindxKiller, post: 6741933, member: 6802801"] Comparing flame tongue to frost brand isn't a good comparison because frost brand also gives resistance to fire, the rest of your comment makes sense though. Though when you really look at the monster manual, there are only 38 fire resistant creatures out of roughly 430, and only 40 fire immune, 8 of which being "good" creatures that you are unlikely to battle. However, the vast majority of things that resist fire or are immune to fire are devils/demons, the rest being red dragons and elementals and aside from elementals those are usually saved for rare occasions in most D&D campaigns. The downside of a red dragon sorcerer is so miniscule that the slightly less common acid resist/immunity doesn't seem very powerful, whose to say the dragon isn't black instead of red? Also, while very small, there are a few creatures vulnerable to fire, yet nothing is vulnerable to acid. When you look at the whole picture, I'd say its a wash. [/QUOTE]
