The term "Ethereal Troll" really seems it should be a living creature.

The best question is what CR to start with.

A Troll is CR 5

A Phase Spider is CR 5

A Xill is CR 6

Maybe a Ethereal Troll should be a higher CR than the Phase Spider and Xill, and should be an Apex predator that hunts the spider and xill as primary source of food.

Thoughts?

"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.
