[QUOTE="Dr_Ruminahui, post: 5215422, member: 81104"] My own thoughts on the "no other effect" in the immunities section is for powers like this (for all powers, assume target has no immunity/resistance to the other key words): Psychic, Fear Target takes 2d6 psychic damage and runs away like a little girl (save ends). My thinking is that the entry intends that if a target had Immunity: fear, that it would take the damage but wouldn't need to run away. Likewise, a power like this: Lightning, Poision Target takes 10 lightning damage and 10 poison damage. Immunity to Lighting would prevent its damage, but not the poison damage. However, for a power like this: Fire, Cold Target takes 40 fire and cold damage, and ongoing 5 fire damage Immunity to fire would prevent to ongoing 5, but would in no way reduce the 40 fire & cold damage.
