Ok so we have moved to the 3rd chapter, characters are now 7th level. No spoilers. But Party clerics and mage have access to fireball.

Now the description does not mention anything about setting fire to flammable objects in the area.

I ruled it did, giving the environment a save to resist catching fire. Roll a 1. So now the PC's have a small fire to put out and the enemy to contend with. Fare or not ?

Nothing in the rules says anything about fire damage setting fire to objects. And while it does seem reasonable, it might not be good to go against RAW for the playtest.

Also, I don't think there are rules for objects making saves. I'd just apply the fire damage to them, denting/breaking/destroying them as appropriate for their hardness.

Definitely a good point for hardness. Just wonder why the potential was left out of causing damage like this. Guess only so many rules you can put into a play test. and environmental damage is probably way down there. Im still a fan of the expanding fireball form 1e DnD days though :P
