09-22-06, 05:56 PM I thought I read a rule somewhere once about having multiple elemental subtypes.

Does anyone know if there is such a rule and where I can find it?

If not, does anyone know how that works?

Thanks!

09-22-06, 11:11 PM It wouldn't make sense to have the subtypes both derived from Template or Race however for a Cold Subtype monster to pick up a ring that gives them the Fire Subtype that would be perfectly reasonable since its a magical derivative. However I think it costs more then just getting a Ring of Fire Immunity anyways.

09-25-06, 01:27 AM There are already monsters that have multiple elemental subtypes (the Omnimental from MMIII springs to mind), though I don't know of any that are specifically [Fire] and [Cold] off the top of my head. It would be an odd monster, to say the least, and probably the result of some strange breeding and the subsequent inheritted templates.
