Energy Substitution (Sonic)

[Jackylhunter]

is this a valid energy subtype in 3.5? CAdv doesn't list it, but it seems reasonable to me. What does everyone else think?

 

[Thanee]

Nope. Only fire, cold, lightning and acid.

Yep.

The feat used to allow switching to Sonic in 3.0.

In 3.5, it was revised to not allow Sonic.

I think sonic is considered more powerful than the other four. That's also why Orb of Sonic does less damage than an Orb of Fire.

Sonic is more powerful simply because i dont know many monster who are immune or have sonic resistance according to me.

That, and it ignores hardness too.

Depending on how you read certain passages

Or shall we do another What the...?! from the 3.5 Main FAQ?

Yeah, why not?

p31:
Hardness applies to acid and sonic attacks. These attacks deal
normal damage both to creatures and to objects, and thus would
deal normal damage to an animated object (less the effect of the
hardness). You would subtract 5 points for hardness from
whatever damage a Melf's acid arrow spell deals to the
animated table in your example.

p41:
Acid, sonic, and force attacks ignore hardness. Hardness
applies to cold, electricity, and fire attacks.

... what the...!?
