Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how Acid Stream and Toxic Waves spells elemental effects work - in the RAW. The thing is, the acid elemental effect seems only useful for long-lasting acid, but acid created by elemental spells vanishes after the spell is cast. Overall, it just does the normal damage resisted by half the ballistic armor rating or non-doubled barrier armor. Which is exactly what any other elemental spell does, except that they also have another effect. In the end, it seems that in the rules, Acid Stream/Toxic Wave spells don't have an elemental effect, because they don't last long enough. So they are kind of pointless when compared to fire/cold/light/sound balls. Did I miss something in the rules? |
