Energy Absorption

[kardar233]

Hey, I'm just wondering if there's any way to cause elemental damage to convert to hit points. I'm looking at acquiring a pet cat IC and don't want it harmed by my Piercing Cold Lightning Ring.

Thanks.

Bump. No ideas?

Not exactly sure what you're asking; are you trying to figure out a way to keep your cat from taking damage when you use the ring?

[kardar233]

Yeah, I'm looking for ways to protect my cat from Piercing Cold. Immunity won't do it, but if there's a way to absorb cold damage as hit points it would bypass Piercing.

So like the feature that undead have with negative energy, but with cold instead? Hmm...

From piercing cold:
"Creatures with the cold subtype can tell that a piercing cold spell is colder than normal, but they remain undamaged by the attack"

Mantle of the Icy Soul is a Druid 5/Cleric 6 spell from frostburn that permanently gives the target the cold subtype.

Oh, for some reason I thought it was similar to Searing Spell. That's perfect.
