Episode 1447: Blown Cover

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>     LATEST>>

If you think you have immunity from something, make sure you really have immunity from it before tempting fate. Like if you have a ring that you think makes you immune to fire damage, stick a candle under you hand before you try swimming across lava.

From the other side, this is a cool limitation you can put on protective items. Sure, a Ring of Fire Resistance will let you get away unscathed from sticking your hand in a forge, or standing at point blank when a fireball spell goes off. But who says it'll work just as well for dragon breath, after you walk out confidently in front of a huge angry red dragon and taunt it with insults about its mother?
