The elemental immunity is nu elemental trait but a special quality which is given seperatly to each element.

you mean double (except on a succesfull save, wich means they benefit HUGELY from mettle and evasion)

09-15-03, 09:28 AM That's an old change.

It's 50% more, regardless of save. So, there is a save for half effect of 30 points, the subtype takes 45 hp on a failed save and 22 points on a successful save.

Makes it much easier.
