Warlock Fire Sponge spell

Unread post by SpiritInterface »

My gaming group came up with a tough nut :? Does the 7th level Fire Warlock spell 'Fire Sponge' work on plasma rounds? Would the plasma bolt from a NE plasma cartridge round be absorbed? Would the blast effect of a plasma missile? :?: :?: :?:

The RBoM says it works on plasma energy blasts, like those produced by CS plasma rifles, NE PC weapons and wilk's PC smallarms.

The effects from a Plasma Warhead.....yes. It is a super NAPALM which means it is burning stuff. So it is Fire.

P.S.: It would be better if you give the location of the spell you are asking about. So people can just go directly to the book page without having to hunt for it.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.

My version of the BoM doesn't have any of that. (BoM, Second Printing Oct 2003, p80) It primarily speaks to normal fires, then has a short paragraph about magic fires.

Just reread the text and I must of transposed the warlock firing the plasma bolts into the prevues paragraph in my head.

However, since the Fire Energy is transformed into plasma bolts...I would say that plasma Bolts equate to being fire, for this spell.

Thanks drewkitty. Yeah I forgot to put in the book and page. I only have the original BoM, I didn't even know it had been revised. Is it much different?
