Your list of questions ignores and denies. It does nothing to demonstrate that this syllogism is defective:* A flaming weapon does +1d6 points of fire damage on a successful hit. * A successful hit is an attack roll that equals or exceeds the target's AC. Therefore, any flaming weapon does +1d6 points of fire damage with any attack roll that equals or exceeds the target's AC.Are the two premises above accurate according to the rules? Yes. Then the conclusion necessarily follows from them.The only way the conclusion doesn't necessarily follow is if there is a specific rule that says the flaming enhancement only does fire damage if the weapon itself does damage. Is there such a rule? No.Therefore, the conclusion stands.Now the enormous flaw in your key question:You ignore key pieces of evidence, namely that weapon must also follow the rules for flaming weapons. What are the rules for flaming weapons? See my syllogism above.</blockquote>
