I... thought rF did help against it. Only running into once every 100 games or so might have something to do with that fact!

Let's name it "Grace" or "Chastity". Or hell, who says it has to be a noun? How about "Puritanically". Or "Damage what hurts regardless of fire resistance(But doesn't hurt if you're holy or something)"

A lot of people somehow managed to miss the fact that combined hp and mp makes for a very interesting and different race. Instead they focused on specific balance problems like Ely or fire immunity. Just don't give them fire immunity if it's a problem, my god, don't need to drop the race entirely. Each issue could have been fixed.

Now there's too much overlap with vinestalkers, so djinni have no chance of being added. Vinestalkers share hp and mp for taking damage but not for casting spells, making them a worse version of what could have been. Vs are not that bad but personally I find djinni much more interesting.

Blessed Fire > Incense

Cleansing Flame > Exorcism

You are engulfed in salvation! You die...


Anyway, I am pretty sure rF helps at least partially against that thing.

I think the problem was that the combined hp + mp was supposed to make them into an interesting caster race but instead they were strongest as a robuster-than-usual berserker race.

Seems like their apts should've just been changed around to something elfier.

not a good reason, at least considering the state of some gods added in last versions.

trivia: holy flames also trigger fire conducts, for those holy draconians of dith wandering around

anyway the OP is of course a joke but the basic suggestion isn't unreasonable. alternately, make holy flames partially resisted by rF. i'm fine with whatever

the big advantage of vs is that they don't have billions of special cases surrounding everything they do
