Removing / Reducing enemy energy resistances / immunities?


Advice


I was wondering if there were any ways (besides the following) to reduce an enemies' energy resistance or immunity via spells, feats, or class abilities?

The only two I can think of are: Elemental Sorcerer (Elemental Blast: giving element vulnerability) and the Fire Kineticist (searing wild talent).

Also acceptable: Abilities that make energy attacks act as something other then energy or ignore resistances all together?

Any ideas? Thanks!

Elemental Spell Metamagic converts 50% of a given damage type to 1 of the 4 common elements. It's not a complete transition, but it's something that every caster can use, and is great for testing immunities/resistances on creatures.

Admixture Specialist Wizards can transform spells of 1 of the 4 common elements to another 1 of the 4 common elements, equal to 3 + their Intelligence modifier of Spells per day.

Outside that, there really isn't much.


Some mythic spells can overcome resistances and immunity, you should check those out.


The Immolator (inquisitor archetype for ifrits) has a judgment that lets them treat a target's fire resistance as lower.


Theurgy feat can convert half the damage of an arcane spell into holy damage, ala flamestrike. But you need to burn a divine spell of equal level to activate.
