Ice Archon

[pawsplay]

I don't think anything should have elemental immunity but an elemental, and there are persuasive arguments why they shouldn't, either. Human beings are 67% water yet we aren't immune to water.

Well, people are made out of meat, but you could probably still beat someone to death with a side of beef, after all. So, I suppose out-colding an ice elemental isn't too outlandish. You would think they'd be extra-resistant to it, though, or something.

Really, it's the kind of thing I'd just make a rules-call about on the fly. Sort of like if a bugbear strangler tried to choke a vampire. You can't choke the undead, buddy, no matter what they do in Van Helsing.

So what's "resist cold 25"? Chopped liver?

Very cold chopped liver.

Cam, you and I both know that only ever came up *once*, and it was silly. Making baskets out of the sinew of fallen Dragon Overlords to appease Kiri-Jolith? It's just poorly thought out.

That does it, I'm going to have to COMPLETELY OVERHAUL my entire campaign and everything in it.

Cheers,
Cam

As they say... you, Sir, win this thread.

A Ice Archon certainly is not at 0 K. It can still move, and that always requires a temperature different from 0 K.

Perhaps its only movements are zero-point oscillations...

Yes but then you're fighting virtual ice archons and it's so irritating when they keep popping back up from the quantum foam. And its impossible to hit them when they keep collapsing back into a probability wave.

Player: I attack the archon
DM: *Rolls 2d20 infinity sided dice* as soon as you observe it the archon vanishes to a point outside the universe and reappears 3 inches to the left in Z-dimensional space.

I'm pretty sure that if it was supposed to be a Blink Archon it would have mentioned it on the card.
