Class and Level Geekery XVII - When you Wish upon a Stat...

[danielxcutter]

As I read it, when the meteors miss and explode nearby, you only take fire damage and not bludgeoning damage. In this case the meteors are exploding at point blank range against your body. It feels to me like you'd get bludgeoning damage, but I guess it'd be up to the DM. What level does Xykon need to be to craft an item that grants true immunity to just fire though?

If you aim a sphere at a specific creature, you may make a ranged touch attack to strike the target with the meteor. Any creature struck by one of these spheres takes 2d6 points of bludgeoning damage (no save) and receives no saving throw against the sphere’s fire damage (see below). If a targeted sphere misses its target, it simply explodes at the nearest corner of the target’s space. You may aim more than one meteor at the same target.

(emphasis mine)

To be fair, I didn't notice the "if struck no saving throw against the fire damage" clause until now.
