Fire Shield still broken?

[Holgar]

Does the Fire Shield spell provide half damage against fire (or cold, if appropriate)? Last I heard, that important aspect of the spell was still not functioning.

Hoping to run my UMD Fighter through the Shroud with some Fire Shield scrolls....

Thanks,

I've never noticed that part not functioning properly.

It was the fact that the guard portion couldnt be Meta'd was the big probem I experienced.

Worked fine for me two days ago.

So when running the Shroud, with Chill Shield version on, if I make my save I take no damage? And if I fail my save, I take half?

That would rock!

It would rock.

But that's not what happens. If you make your save, you take half damage (unless you have evasion, in which case you take no damage regardless)....then fireshield cold will halve that damage; if the remainer punches your pro, what's left will hit your resist; if the remainder of *that* exceeds your resist, then you'll take that in fire damage.

Not quite.

If you have the corresponding Fire Shield on (in this case Fire Shield: Cold Version for the fireballs) the following will happen:

You fail your save, you take half of the fire damage you otherwise would have taken.
You make your save, you take 1/4th the fire damage you otherwise would have taken (a reflex save reduces the damage in half, fire shield reduces the remaining half by half).

[BlackSteel]

if you have evasion you'd take no damage on a save, the shield would simply cut what you take in half on a failed save

non evasion it would cut the damage you take in half on save or no save

[Holgar]

Thanks for the input. BlackSteel is saying that if you make your save, you still take half of the full damage. Others are saying that if you make your save, you take 1/4 of the damage.

Either way, it seems like something good for my non-evasion UMD fighter!
