[QUOTE="JimAde, post: 2255610, member: 16739"] Heinz, I have a question. One of the spells I'm taking is Mass Fire Shield (from Complete Arcane, spell write-up in my character). Fire shield normally damages people who attack you in melee and lets you choose whether it protects you from Fire or Cold damage. Since my Elemental Savant class makes all damaging energy spells into electrical, I assume this will become "spark shield" or something. My question is this: How to handle the energy protection portion of the spell? I see three possibilities. 1) That aspect is lost completely. Obviously I don't like this option much. :) 2) The spell will only protect against electrical damage. This is fine with me. 3) The spell will protect against either electrical or acid damage (choose when casting). The rationale behind #3 is this: The Elemental Savant class actually makes you choose an element (in my case Air) to get the associated energy type. The opposed element for air is earth, which has Acid as its associated energy type. This mirrors the Fire/Cold thing (Cold is associated with Water for Elemental Savants). Anyway, let me know what you think. [/QUOTE]
