Note that the flame from this
sword easily ignites oil, burns webs, or sets fire to paper, parchment,
dry
wood, etc. Cold-using creatures are those whose attack mode involves
cold (ice toads, white
dragons, winter wolves, yeti,
etc.)
Q. Can a priest
use a flaming sword,
where the burning causes
damage?
A. No. If playing
by the strict letter of the
roolz, priests cannot use
edged
weapons, no matter what the
other
effects of the weapon; just
because it
is flaming, the edge is not
blunted. It
is also worth mentioning
that the
Pelinore material has differentiated
between religions by allowing
some
priests to carry swords and
other
weapons out of the ordinary.
