Flame Weapons

[BesucherXia]

IMO, the 6AP fire damage can be just regarded as an "additional weapon".
At first your normal weapon will make a DRN throw against target's protection(+DRN from the other side), after which you will make 2nd DRN throw, with 6 AP against enemy's pro (only half is counted)+DRN.

Both damage will be summed to get the final damage.

Yet I am not sure if a F9 kinght of the chalice can benefit twice from flaming weapon in 1 turn(hoof+sword).

to test give the commander 2 shields.
If the victim catchs fire. Then it works with hoof.

I am not sure this would work. If "secondary weapon" is defined as "attacks that come after the first attack without qucikness" then the test would not work. If there is a tag where all kicks are secondary then this would work well...

[parcelt]

does fire resistance negate the flaming weapons effect?

[Cor2]

it does.

But unfortunately, fire blessed troops count as magic weapons - even against fire immune target's mistform/ethereal.

I say 'unfrotunately' because I do not use blesses, and my SC pretenders have 1 fire pick. :-)

Hooves do catch people on fire.

How did I test this? New game with Marignon, F9S2 Baphomet, I recruited a Paladin and forged him two Enchanted Shields. Both lance and hoof are bonus weapons, but lance was used up on first. It took several turns of 1-3 points of damage before anyone caught fire, but one militia did, indeed, catch fire. Ergo, fear the flaming hooves.

I happened to be playing with F9 blessed units w/ lots of attacks, so I ran a battle w/ logging -ddd. Here's the part of the log for a single attack in that battle. The attacking unit is a Prince General (MA Tien Chi sacred cav) ID 2547 wielding a Sword of Swiftness and a Stone Bird:

As you see, the fire effect triggers for most attacks. I'm not sure why it doesn't trigger for the lance or hoof. OTOH, it seems to be triggering for 3 of the Stone Bird's 4 attacks.

I'm a little too busy to run more tests now, but maybe over the weekend... unless somebody else tests before then.
