[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 4410428, member: 13966"] Uh, unless there's MM2 errata saying Nimblewrights are immune to fire damage, they aren't. They're not Golems, so they don't have outright Magic Immunity like Golems, just Spell Resistance. Thus their Vulnerabilities are just extra penalties they suffer from certain effects, not in place of the damage those effects already deal. It doesn't say that they are stunned by fire for 1 round instead of taking damage, for instance. It just says that fire damage stuns them for 1 round. Their statblock doesn't list any fire immunity. I didn't bother looking this up before, but when you said that Corath was stunned by the Burning Hands spell but not damaged, it made me wonder. Nimblewrights are animated by water elementals, not earth elementals, so they're not in the same general group as Golems, thus their different properties. Up till now it had been at least a year or two since I had last glanced at the Nimblewright entry. In-character, Alaric probably doesn't know the properties of Nimblewrights (I dunno), but he cast Burning Hands because it was the strongest of his few spells at the moment. [/QUOTE]
