I've used Isaac's lesser Missile Storm against the orcs and that works quite well.

Scintilating sphere, change your flame weapon to something else... lightning bolt, mestil's acid breath.... There are lots of options, and if you've fought these mobs before I wouldn't say it's metagaming to know that some orcs are more resistant to fire than others. Plan accordingly.

Egon the Monkey

You can't change your flame wep to something else. It's a char creation option or DM request AFAIK, not a chat command or player tool.

Well you can stop memorizing flame weapon and prepare more Gedlee's Electric Loops. Win.

All you have to do is switch spells!

For a wizard that might be easy. He just needs to be wealthy and ask his fellow wizards to make scrolls for him. A sorcerer will have trobule though. Fireball has more range than it's electric counterpart, why would a sorcerer take it then, rather than fireball? same goes with gedlee's and stuff, besides the offensive power of gedlee's is nothing compared to comburst, nor is acid arrow.

Switching spells is not as simple as it sounds.

Caddies

We're asking to change monsters because sorcerers can't easily switch out spells for more effective ones now? Its not like that is one of the defining characteristics of sorcerers or anything.

So pedantic.

Isn't that sort of like asking for the slashing immunity to be removed on skeletons so that they're easier to cut with a 1d10 bastard sword instead of a 1d8 hammer?

Egon the Monkey

Not really. Anyone with a bastard sword should be packing a hammer in case skeletons turn up anyway :P. You can't as easily change dmg types with a spell and maintain the same effect. And since you've said it's not changing, Mort, can you lock this before we go round in circles?

This is like saying The umberhulk Guardians shouldn't have true seeing. Tough luck. CRUUUUUUSH.

Kill two birds with one stone.
Give orcs 50% ice dmg vulnerability!

I have firebranded many orcs and doing 20+ damage to 10 orcs is not scoffable. In fact I did not even realize they had fire immunity as they seemed to take plenty of damage!

I also beg to differ on everyone carrying around a hammer to replace their bastard sword for dealing with skeletons!  It cuts just fine.
