[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 313579, member: 4936"] Hee hee. You seem to be in a very challenging mood. :) The part where it says unattended items always fail their saving throws is what I'm basing this on. Furthermore, the bit you quoted specifically mentioned that instant-duration fire spells don't ignite *creatures*. This, in conjunction with the Fireball description and the note that unattended items fail their saves automatically led me to the conclusion that a fireball or other instant-duration fire spell could ignite flammable unattended items easily, but would only ignite items on a creature or character if that creature or character really flubbed a save (this being the rule that items generally aren't damaged from spells unless your save is a 1). Anyway, I freely confess that's an interpretation of an interaction between several rules that don't QUITE explicitly give an answer one way or the other. Feel free to disagree if you like. [/QUOTE]
