She can't be hurt by any anti-undead tactic. That is acceptable to me. She is a ruler of undeads. You can use such spells on her minions but not on her. Is your objection to that, or to her not taking fire damage?
It ain't just her minions that take damage from Sunray. It's everyone . What SixofSpades is trying to get at is that make her immune to the extra damage maybe, but no completely immune to it.

It's shockingly cold and bone-chilling to touch Bodhi. Nothing odd about that. Perfectly acceptable. All this does is make toe-to-toe melee dangerous and limited (which is too bad, since it's practically the only way to damage her.) The only thing annoying about this is the FS:Blue animation. The damage effect makes sense for a cold-arse vampire boss-witch. To counter this, you'll need lots of hit points, regeneration, healing potions, clerics behind you healing, and additional ranks to step in when you must flee.
Bleh; I abused this ability by using Sanchuudoku (cheese to counter cheese [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) with a tank that had 127% cold resistance. No acid resistance for Bodhi means that she's taking a one-way trip down to hell. [img]tongue.gif[/img] It's perfectly counterable, though the cold damage is a little extreme.

Where's the rule that players should have access to every ability that adversaries have? Can Iraq invoke that rule right now on USA? It's not supposed to be "fair." Fighting vampire leaders is never fair. This game was dumb when Bodhi was fair, as that was unrealistic for a vamp of her stature.
If the whole game was 'sit down and shut up and take your medicine like a man, because there ain't a whole lot you can do about these spells', then there wouldn't be any tactics. All you'd do is go in and pray your butt off that you didn't die in the first few rounds. I mean, maybe they shouldn't be easily countered. But just make them possible to counter.
