In D&D3e, a pot of boiling water does "scalding damage".Nothing explicitly resists, or is immune to, scalding damage.
>>98303739By that logic White dragons die in cold climate
>>98303739What worldbuilding settingcraft?
>>98303739>mixing elements deals typeless damageLame but an understandable compromise
>>98303739That's just plasma damage type.
>>98303739Damage resistance in general does that unless specified.
>>98303739>3e faggot using literal-minded rule-lawyeringPottery
>>98303739>a pot of boiling water does "scalding damage".Makes sense. It's not elemental fire, after all.You could boil a red dragon and that sounds pretty cool.
I'm so fucking glad my playgroup consists of players who never got that particular brainrot.
>>98304223You can, it's actually pretty effective. You can't burn it though>>98304421>>98303914>heh, boiling water is totally heat based damage!Wrong.
>>98304079Under heat dangers in the environment chapter. Scalding damage being typeless is definitely RAW in 3.5, though I've never played at a table that treated it as such.
>>98303817White dragons have cold immunity
>>98304654>hallucinating what other people have said to dunk on themLike I said, I'm grateful that they're nothing like (you).
>>98304085>>98304686Typless damage is normal damage you idiot.
>>98303739D&D 3.5 often neglects to specify a damage type, and leaves it to you to just use your best judgement.For example, in the very next paragraph, "Catching on fire" pg 303-304>Characters at risk of catching fire are allowed a DC 15 Reflex save to avoid this fate. If a character’s clothes or hair catch fire, he takes 1d6 points of damage immediately.It doesn't specify he takes fire damage. Just damage. But obviously catching on fire means that you should take fire damage.
>>98303739Sorry anon, i homebrewed the monster, it has scalding damage immunity.
Do y'all really have nothing better to do than respond to the most obvious bait to ever bait? Like, can't you guys paint your models, plan your next campaign, smoke weed, jerk off or suicide ideate or something instead? Anything else?
>>98304996Thanks for taking a short break in your jerking off, weed smoking, and ideating suicide to give us that important message
>>98305008No problem, nigga.
>>983037393e? Oh boy!>Boiling water causes scalding damageI boil the water in my enemy's body. It has no defense.
>>98305011<3 (*^_^) <3
>>98304751Where did I say damage resistance didn't apply? I just gave anon the source in 3.5.I'd argue that typeless isn't "normal" in the sense that nearly every damage source the PCs have acces to is typed, but DR applies for sure.
>>98305103>>98304085>that wasn't me! You're just as dumb, hard to tell it apart.
>>98304751That says from normal attacks you dumb fuck
>>98305507Boiling water is a normal attack retard.
>>98304996So tired of stupid nonces like you making this post every time like you don't know that if you ignore a spam thread, then the retard who made it just samefags it until people do reply.
>>98305131Heroes of battle makes it clear that scalding damage is fire damage, and thus damage reduction would not apply
>>98305515That's neither a weapon or natural attack, no. >>98305531Just ignore the diarrhea on your sidewalk everyday, who cares??
>>98305537>water isn't natural lmao okay anon make sure you have every catagory for all different things and line them up. No gaming until you've modelled all things in the universe.
>>98304951Everyone likes Pokémon, not just weebs, you stupid Redditor.
>>98305008>>98305531Why do you guys get angry when someone tells the truth?
>>98305542Using boiling water is something artificial, yeah.
>>98305559I'm >>98305008and>>98305073How did you know I was secretly angry??? :O
>damage types autismthank you for reminding me why DnD is a terrible game. No other game attracts this level of rules lawyer faggotry
>>98305595>No other game attracts this level of rules lawyer faggotryHave you ever played another game?
In all seriousness though why wouldn't it be fire/heat based damage? The damage is coming from the temperature, not the water.
>>98305621Any reasonable DM would say it's fire damage for purposes of resistance/immunity.All this arguing is pointless, because D&D 3.5 is not an air-tight ruleset, and wasn't intended to be.
>>98305531>"I bit the hook because otherwise...">"Otherwise..."No seriously I don't even see the hypothetical consequences of not doing that.
>>98304996>>98305531>>98305559>>98305585>>98305641This is the worst genre of poster on 4chan
>>98305563>Boiling water is artificialExtreme retardation in this thread
>>98303739Looks like you forgot to post a topic of discussion. Did you have a question about something?
>>98304086Where?
>>98305537Did replying to this thread make it stop existing?
>>98305596Yes.
>>98306166>>98306170 is right, I don't see this thread.
kek retards
No matter how much you hate 3.PF and its players, you can never hate them enough.
>>98306156>OPs must be questionsWhat in the newfag
>>98306334Yeah. If there isn't something you're genuinely interested in discussing and you don't have anything of value to contribute to the board, leave.
>>98306336Would you like me to say no u or do you see the irony here?
>>98306376Nope. I've contributed to the board. You haven't, and you don't intend you. You lose.
>>98303739Prove it: post a cheese build that uses it
>>98304996No. Abusing autists for (you)s will continue until further notice.
>>98306381>I've contributed to the boardIn what way?
>>98305672>dodgedBased
>>98304086I had this discussion with one of my players playing GURPS because GURPS Magic is so badly formatted they forgot to use 4e damage types at times
>>98305515Any source of damage that isn't specified to be something else is normal damage.You people are so fucking stupid.
If someone throws an onion at your head, you don't need onion resistance.
>>98303739Are you one of those faggots who cast illumination and then insist they defeated [insert whatever it was cast on], due to the ambiguity of wording that it then disappears (the illumination, not the object it was cast on)? Because sure sound like one
>>98306444Prove what? He didn't make any claim about any build.
>>98305542Please look up what a natural attack is to find as in 3.5 D&D
>>98306156So lava doesn't count as fire just because it's boiling stone?
>>98314941Nope, lava is untyped lethal damage that isn't fire damage, fire resistance or immunity confers immunity to lava though.
>>98304751I wish topless damage was realthe damage you take is arousal and ultimately the embarrassment of a public boner haha
>>98304421Me too. But rule 0 lets you interpret it however you wish anyway, so this kind of brain rot doesn't really matter much.
>>98303888Okay, I smirked.
>>98316234It is categorically defined as fire damage, I'm not sure what you think you are smoking.
