Flaming Attacks
« on: January 22, 2013, 10:21:17 PM »
Hello guys

Just need some clarification on flaming attacks!!!  Are they magical or not???

Banner of Eternal Flame is a magic standard so are the attacks classed as magical also???

Warrior Priests Soulfire, classed as a bound spell so are the attacks magical or not???

This has been annoying me for some time as I get the impression they are not  ::heretic::

BRB Official Update Version 1.7 p. 8:
Q: What are ‘magical attacks’? (p68)
A: All attacks made by spells and magic items are considered to be magical attacks, as are all attacks that are specifically noted as being magical attacks. Shots fired from magical items are also considered to be magical attacks, unless their description specifically states otherwise. Hits inflicted by rolls on the Miscast table are treated as magical attacks.

Unless specified as such, Flaming Attacks are not magical. The Banner of the Eternal Flame or  the part of Soulfire that gives the Flaming Attacks special rule, do not cause attacks themselves, and thus the Flaming Attacks are not magical. However, the hits caused by (the second part of )the Soulfire spell are magical.
