So are outsiders only 1/3 alive? Living constructs arent alive?In d&d land I dont define living by whatever I feel might be appropriate at the time, I go by the rules (either houserules or raw, but houserules are all spelled out ahead of time)If the dm was going to say, 'sorry, you cant cast spell X on the elemental because it isnt alive' then I would say, 'great, but please let me know about your houserules ahead of time so I can plan accordingly''Salt' elementals might be that way because they are a combination of an acid and a base, and as such may be semi-aqueous. Of course, given that 'acid and base' are rolled into the acid energy type a salt elemental would likely have the acid descriptor anyway.It depends on the situation though. Just because there could be living creatures who are immune does not mean that any who might be because it is more difficult to imagine them having some sort of fluid in them are automatically immune.The dm could say either way in this case, but it certainly is not a 'definately no' or 'definately yes' sort of case.Unless of course there is something in the raw that we have all missed?</blockquote>
