[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 4994933, member: 12731"] All kinds of damage hurts every kind of creature, except where specifically noted. There is nothing like "all fire creatures are extra hurt by cold damage", "undead are immune to light spells" or even "fire creatures are immune to fire damage". Unless a monster is listed as having an immunity, resistance or vulnerability, treat all types of damage as just damage. In 4E, a cold creature and a fire creature takes fire damage just as everybody else. It's just that a fire creature is likely to be resistant to fire damage. Vulnerability is far less common in 4E - most cold creature is no more damaged by fire damage than, say, acid. Or being thumped on the head by a hammer (untyped damage). The main exception is that most undead is vulnerable to radiant damage. This does not mean other pairings exist. Outright immunity is also very much uncommon in 4E. Mostly, you'll see creatures immune to things like fear, disease, or poison - which aren't damage types. Precious few fire creatures will be completely immune to fire, for instance. [/QUOTE]
