[QUOTE="William_2, post: 2573590, member: 13925"] From Prince Sharam “These are diametrically opposed, which is why they even get attack bonuses/penalties against the opposites”. I don’t think that is true at all of the elemental types; air, water, and earth have no such qualities. The fire and cold types have that kind of relationship. There isn’t any sort of matrix of cross-elemental interactions, really. Water elementals need to stay near their water. Fire elemental have cold vulnerability, and some curious comments about water, the topic here. First of all, “A fire elemental cannot enter water or any other nonflammable liquid. A body of water is an impassible barrier unless the fire elemental can step or jump over it”, is pretty much self-contradictory. What happens if a fire elemental does indeed jump over some water, but fails and falls?! Does it land on top of the water because it is “impassable”, or do they fall in, the fate they feared when jumping in the first place, one might think?! It does not actually make a great deal of sense. Can they NOT enter water, or are they afraid of it? If they can’t enter it, why would they avoid the surface of it? If they are only deliberately avoiding it, then the question here is valid: what happens to them…and the rules are both silent and, to me, ill-considered. [/QUOTE]
