[QUOTE="Old Gumphrey, post: 3557711, member: 12872"] SRD doesn't say anything about standing on your head. I guess that means it's impossible even though I've got 15 ranks in Tumble and Balance! Fire elementals are a special case; Earth elementals are constantly in contact with their mother element. So are air elementals, and (generally) water elementals. If a fire elemental gets thrown into a lake, it's SOL. If a water elemental is slithering around in the forest and someone bombs it with a fireball I don't see anything wrong with 150% damage. If you're playing a game where the four elements are living things and generally in direct opposition it's really not a stretch. No, it's not RAW, but RAW doesn't say anything about tossing a being MADE OUT OF FIRE into a lake. Go throw a lit match into a bathtub and see what happens...I bet you don't even have to do it to guess what happens. It's not "floating across because it's impassable". Which is another load of baloney. If you don't have a fly speed, you fall down go boom, you don't skate across stuff that will kill you. I don't see PCs claiming they can hover across a volcanic lake of lava because it's "impassable". [/QUOTE]
