Hello all,
There are many spells that read "You are immune to blindness, critical hits, ability score damage, deafness, disease, drowning, electricity, poison, stunning, and all spells or attacks that affect your physiology or respiration, because you have no physiology or respiration while this spell is in effect." Examples would be Ice Body and Iron Body.
Can a ghost Corrupting Touch aging attack affect you? The damage is listed as "not being negative energy" and that "it manifests in the form of physical wounds and aches and pains from supernatural aging". Can someone with no physiology age?
What about death from massive damage? One could easily argue that the reason that golems and the like are immune to death by massive damage attacks stem from the fact that they have no physiology.
Definition of physiology: The scientific study of an organism's vital functions, including growth and development, the absorption and processing of nutrients, the synthesis and distribution of proteins and other organic molecules, and the functioning of different tissues, organs, and other anatomic structures. Physiology studies the normal mechanical, physical, and biochemical processes of animals and plants.
It seems that a creature is immune to any affect or attack that targets an biological aspect of a normal, living creature.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
