Pathfinder 1E Is there a way to beat Energy Resistance/Immunity?

[Lylandra]

There is a universal damage spell - it is called haste. It does any kind of damage your warrior allies can do. For advanced students, there is telekinetic charge.

Aka "I hit you with my flying warrior". Depending on your melee fellow, this can actually deal a *lot* of damage

it will likely allow your warrior pet.. eh, friend to do a full attack on their turn, which should do way more damage than a spell would ever do, especially if you already used haste.

Area damage is a different beast altogether.

Good Dex + Throw Anything feat + Enlarge Person + Bull's Strength. That large rock, chair, pissed off Dwarf will blow right through the target's Energy Resistance.

So, the answer is a "no, try something else!" on doing energy damage that beats resistance, then?

Afraid that sums it up. Which is kind of ok for a wizard, not so fun for an elemental or draconic sorcerer, and a disaster for a kinetic.

Persuade your DM to allow the 3.5E version of "consecrate spell"?

The Pathfinder feat with the same name unfortunately does something completely different.

That's what I used in a similar situation in a 3.5E campaign.
