"Invisible layers of solid force surround and protect the target, granting that target a +2 armor bonus to AC. Additionally, the first 5 points of lethal damage the target takes from each attack are converted into nonlethal damage. Against attacks that already deal nonlethal damage, the target gains DR 5/—. Once this spell has converted 5 points of damage to nonlethal damage per caster level (maximum 50 points), the spell is discharged."
Go to [url=http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateCombat/spells/ablativeBarrier.html[/url].
Ablative barrier states that it converts 5 points of lethal damage into nonlethal, per attack.
Spells and other abilities that do damage such as Fireball do what kind of damage. Does a fireball do lethal fire damage, and since hitting a person with a fireball is an attack that does damage does the Ablative Barrier protect against this.
The rule books are very vague in regards to damage, and I need a clarification for my table. Thank you in advance.
Or a link to definitive answers, thanks again.
