[QUOTE="LokiDR, post: 996156, member: 6239"] If you don't want to think, why not? Now, for the rest of us: can ray of frost freeze water? Can a mount summoned by the spell of the same name eat food? The spells don't say they can, so by Camarath's theory, they can't. I will assume that any property not listed in the spell is going to be covered by material properties as appropriate to setting. Hence, frost freezes, mounts eat, and paper burns. When was silicon grease invented? Does that fit your game world? It doesn't fit in mine. Consistance of the setting is important, you know. With enough heat and preasure, you can theoretically break nearly any law of physics. But if you don't like jokes, I won't make anymore :) Almost nothing a person will ever carry is flammable. Oil is not flamable. That is a worthless definition because it doesn't add anything to the discussion. Even lantern oil isn't flammable, and if that doesn't burn at the touch of a torch this whole discussion is pointless. By the way, if you can't stand my simple misspelling, I can switch entirely to bad 133t-eez. Would that make you go away? :D Wait, you don't like jokes, nevermind. Take a can of motor oil, dump it in a pan, apply a lit blowtorch for 12 seconds. If it doesn't burn, I'll give up. *sigh* House rules are not "grease burns". They are specific damage and lenght of burn. The fact that grease burns is the non-house rule. In any game I play, I expect the grease spell cast into a large heat source to flare. I have said this before, but thank you for agreeing. :) Because this use was not forseen, you can not do it? You don't like being creative, do you? Your mount (from the spell) can not eat grass. Your flaming sphere can not burn a rope bridge down. Hey, if that is the way you play, more power to you. For myself and others, the rules do not present every action possible, only the limits. Creative play should be encouraged, not banned. [/QUOTE]
