Fireball (or just fire) and Carried / Worn Items


Rules Questions


I've read it before but cant seem to find it in PRD.
Is there a chance a spellbook/map/something flammable gets damaged when a PC fails their reflex on a fireball?

Automatic Failures and Successes: "A natural 1 (the d20 comes up 1) on a saving throw is always a failure, and the spell may cause damage to exposed items (see Items Surviving after a Saving Throw, below). A natural 20 (the d20 comes up 20) is always a success."

Items Surviving after a Saving Throw: "Unless the descriptive text for the spell specifies otherwise, all items carried or worn by a creature are assumed to survive a magical attack. If a creature rolls a natural 1 on its saving throw against the effect, however, an exposed item is harmed (if the attack can harm objects). Refer to Table: Items Affected by Magical Attacks: Items Affected by Magical Attacks. Determine which four objects carried or worn by the creature are most likely to be affected and roll randomly among them. The randomly determined item must make a saving throw against the attack form and take whatever damage the attack dealt."


Thanks a ton!
