Imp Fire Immunity

Post by WarriorMage »

Imps should have fire immunity.

Currently, imp has 20 DR- against fire even though devils are immune to fire in the lore.

The warlock and planar binding devil summons are already immune to fire in Arelith.

Even fire genasi has partial immunity, which makes sense since they are descendant of efreeti but have mortal parents.

As far as RP is concerned, it feels wrong when the imp dies to a fire spell. The lore says that devils abuse the use of these spells against demons, precisely because of their immunity.

Balance wise, 20 DR- makes the imp nearly immune, if not fully immune, to fire spells like flame arrow, fireball (unless maximized), inferno, incendiary cloud, elemental shield. So changing this to full immunity would not affect these spells much.

The real killers are fire traps and meteor swarm. It just makes no sense that these can slay a devil, as the lore says otherwise.
