| Jun 15, 2016 at 15:20 | comment | added | Anne Aunyme | Everyone seems to agree upon the silliness of applying this RAW, but lava damage could be seen as many ticks of 1 damage, in which case a resistance in actually equivalent to an immunity. Of course it is still weird, but not as weird as this paizo thread quote makes it seem. | |
| Nov 18, 2014 at 15:22 | comment | added | Wyrmwood | Then why do we have and/or ? I think you can agree to use a form, but no form exists without a guideline. | |
| Nov 17, 2014 at 20:22 | comment | added | Please stop being evil | @Wyrmwood No, that isn't a valid English interpretation. It is a common misinterpretation of English, but the language is actually fairly unambiguous most of the time (and ambiguous statements commit the error of amphibole). For guidance on how to properly read sentences like this, consult a style guide, such as the Chicago Manual of Style (or post on english.stackexchange.com). In this particular case the relevant concept is parallelism. | |
| Oct 1, 2014 at 21:17 | comment | added | Wyrmwood | Technically, the way it's worded, with the ambiguity of the English language, it could (absurdly, of course) be read as 'ANY immunity' or 'resistance to fire'... Meaning immunity to flowers (which doesn't exist of course) makes you immune to lava. English has a lot of difficulty with this and that or this and that because many times interpolation and exclusiveness is ambiguous. | |
| Oct 1, 2014 at 1:54 | comment | added | Tridus | @JustinMorgan That depends on what your definition of "correct" is. The question is for a RAW answer, and RAW is both entirely clear and doesn't say this. This is an entirely sensible way to play it, but that isn't the same thing. | |
| Sep 30, 2014 at 19:53 | comment | added | Justin Morgan | This is pretty clearly the correct answer, no matter where your quote comes from. The author's intent is obvious from the passage. | |
| Sep 30, 2014 at 10:38 | comment | added | T. Sar | This is a way better answer! I've upvoted it now! | |
| Sep 30, 2014 at 8:05 | comment | added | Martin | @Thales - I have clarified that this isn't official. But the pathfinder text is just a copy of the D&D text, so ... see edit. :-) I stand by that. | |

| Sep 29, 2014 at 20:22 | comment | added | T. Sar | Thanks for your input, but: 1 - this is not Pathfinder, despite the rules being really similar, and 2 - this post was made by someone that don't have autorithy over the system. If you have an official FAQ or something similar, I will gladly accept it. | |
