But, different, I guess.Īnother similarity true elementals share is they each have a unique movement type associated with their affinity. Technically, they’re aren’t " alive", so it’s almost like fighting construct creatures.
And, each true elemental isn’t affected by Poison damage.
For example, Fire Elementals don’t take damage from fire attacks (duh). So, you’ll need a magical weapon to be truly effective when combating these creatures.Īlso, each of the true elementals with the exception of Earth Elementals have a damage immunity tied to their relative aspect. Sometimes, they’ll have additional resistances. The true elementals (those being monsters literally named "Air Elemental," " Fire Elemental," etc) have resistance to the non-magical weapon damage types bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing.

If you cast it while hidden on a target outside of combat, though, they just might try to strip it off. Their hypothetical situation would be if you continued recasting it every minute if concentration wasn't broken and the target chose to remove their red-hot armor. The only saving throw the affected get are in whether they are forced to drop the targeted item (if they're able to, as you can't 'drop' equipped armor, only an item you're holding).
