[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 6875677, member: 6696971"] I think the consensus in this thread is interesting (but, of course, correct). I suspect the moment that you read those words you'll know exactly what I'm getting at. What was it, 2...3 years ago when we had the "can fire effects in 4e set things afire?" There was not a consensus here. In fact, there was a number of 4e detractors who were unwavering in their opinion of "no, that would be a houserule." Despite the (imo insurmountable) evidence to the contrary being that the effects in the game are entirely key-word driven and fire effects have the (shocker) Fire keyword: "Explosive bursts, fiery rays, or simple [B][U][I]ignition[/I][/U][/B]." [INDENT] noun: ignition * the action of setting something on fire or starting to burn.[/INDENT] I sometimes think RPG nerdism is more partisan than Football Hooliganism. If we were all face to face arguing over fire effects, we would be knifing each other up and overturning each others' cars, there can be no doubt! Cats and dogs living together. Mass hysteria.
