Hi! I've tried looking in the forum, and I didn't see any definitive answer on this.
I've got a particular problem which could be probably generalized.
If I'm immune to fire, am I immune to the blind effect of the spell sunburst?
A creature with immunities takes no damage from listed sources. Immunities can also apply to afflictions, conditions, spells (based on school, level, or save type), and other effects. A creature that is immune does not suffer from these effects, or any secondary effects that are triggered due to an immune effect.
But the spell seems to indicate that the damage is not directly related to the blindness.
Sunburst causes a globe of searing radiance to explode silently from a point you select. All creatures in the globe are blinded and take 6d6 points of damage. A creature to which sunlight is harmful or unnatural takes double damage. A successful Reflex save negates the blindness and reduces the damage by half.
If the effect work, would it still work if the spell was a [fire] spell instead of a [light] spell?
In a case of a spell like Sirocco where the damage is directly linked to the condition (in that case, fatigued), it fairly straightforward. But, in case like this, what should I do as a DM? Does the character could become blind even if no fire damage could affect him? The same question could be asked (and even more confusedly) with Tar Pool (which is a [fire][earth] spell); would the fire immune character be affected by the entangle effect?
