Aricandor 10-02-04, 04:55 AM	With a Cure <blank> Wounds or Heal spell
macfry 10-02-04, 04:57 AM	Very carefully.

Though the descritopn of the fire elemental's burn attack says: "Creatures hitting a fire elemental with natural weapons or unarmed attacks take fire damage as though hit by the elemental’s attack, and also catch on fire unless they succeed on a Reflex save." It seems reasonable that casting a touch range spell on one would also apply. I believe there are feats/class abilities that allow ranged healing or turn touches into rays, I just can't seem to remember where they are off the top of my head.

RaspK FOG 10-02-04, 07:27 AM	Fire Shield (Fire), Endure/Protection from/Resist Elements, Energy Buffer, Energy Immunity, yadda-yadda... :D

[...] It seems reasonable that casting a touch range spell on one would also apply.If the elemental knows you're healing it and wants to be healed, I'd rule that it could briefly weaken its flames to the point where it's not a threat to you, just long enough to touch it and administer the spell. If your DM thinks otherwise, better load up on fire protection.

The Grinning Pint 10-02-04, 11:33 AM	With a stick. Mind you a nonflammable one, made of some strange wood from somewhere far far away.

The mass cure wounds and mass heal spells don't require touch, though it's wasteful if it's just one elemental. You could toss the elemental a healing potion.
General Dorsey 10-02-04, 03:44 PM	A molotov cocktail? What about charcoal of cure light wounds? A reach spell would work also. You may have to get creative, but I think it is within the realm of possibility.
macfry 10-02-04, 03:52 PM	Spectral Hand (Sor/Wiz 2) allows you to deliver touch range spells at 30 ft. Continuous item (I prefer gloves) of spectral hand is 2 x 3 x 2000 = 12000 gp x 2 (1min/level duration) = 24000 gp. Easily worth it.
MoonWizard 10-04-04, 04:22 PM	All healing spell are Conjuration spells because they conjure Postive Energy from the Positive Energy plane to the desired target. This is why undead are harmed by healing because they're held together by negative energy (it cancels it out). Because of a Fire Elemental's elemental nature, I don't think that Cure X Wounds spells would heal the FE more than Cause X Wounds would. Elementals are no more good than they are evil, and no more subject to Positive Energy than Negative Energy. IMO, traditional cure spells shouldn't work.
RaspK FOG 10-04-04, 04:52 PM	And this should then make normal animals immune to cure/inflict spells as well as heal/harm, right? Sorry, wrong reasoning... Positive energy is idealised as the life giver; if negative energy can harm living creatures and there is no reference that elementals are not thus affected, so should positive energy likewise affect elementals.
