Ghiv here is level 7 and about to be level 8 very soon. He is an Inquisitor that naturally specializes in using a bow. He has an Efficient Quiver full of arrows coated in various blanches to overcome DR of just about any creature he comes across. But a question has arisen with his soon to be acquired Body of Ice ability. Here is what the ability says:
Body of Ice (Su): At 8th level, you can transmute your body and equipment to ice for a period of time. It takes a standard action to take on the form of ice, and you can end the transmutation with a free action on your turn. When you take on the form of ice, you are immune to cold and have DR 5/—, but you take twice the normal amount of damage from fire. You can take on the form of ice for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. The rounds need not be consecutive.
The thing I am uncertain about involves the part that says "you can transmute your body and equipment to ice for a period of time." If my equipment is transmuted into ice, does that mean my blanched arrows all become just ice and lose their blanch or do they retain it? Anyway, thanks for any help and happy gaming to you all.
I'd say you can assume all your stuff retains its special properties, since it doesn't say otherwise. That would include blanches. If ice flesh can move, why can't ice blanch penetrate DR?

That is what I was hoping was the answer, but wanted to make sure. Thanks Fuzzy :)
Could I get one more person to chime in just for the double confirmation?
Yeah, I'm going to agree. It doesn't say it mechanically does anything to you or your gear except (because it's explicitly stated) that you gain immunity to cold, DR 5/-, and take double damage from fire. I supposed your gear would take double damage from fire, but that would be it.
If they wanted other things to happen they should spell it out.
Spells and abilities only do what they say they do.

Thanks Claxon. I am glad that it works that way. Again thanks. :)
