Wizards is -very- careful to not have immunity to damage have the "worst type applies" rule.  If you're immune to a damage type, you're immune to that damage type and never take any damage that has that keyword (regardless of what other keywords it has).  Let's roll the tape again:. "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."Ignore everything you know about resistance; it's not relevant--immunity isn't resistance and you can't make arguments from one to the other.Just based on the above (plus, sure "Resistance or immunity to one keyword of a power does not protect a target from the power’s other effects.") how would you rule attacks with fire and cold damage vs a cold immune character?</blockquote>
