I think it does make sense thematically. It is Holy Pyre after all. And IMHO it would probably not be too difficult to implement, since Dom2 already have some "exception form the damage type immunity" rules, such as posion that is not affected by poison resistance, etc. (that is just a guess of course). No idea what devs will think of this suggestion though. [/QB]

Much as I hate to agree ... The damage could be done as fire - which the devils are immune too. Then the tripling of damage against demons/undead could be done as holy, which fire immunity would not help against.

I'm not sure how "triple" damage is done - if you have 14 base, is the 14 tripled and then 2D6 (oe) is added? Or is is (14 + 2d6(oe)) * 3? Either way, it's not that hard to come up with a formula and code to handle both immunity and partial resistance, not to mention fire susceptibility.

And, heh - speaking of partial resistance to fire, the bloody "Burning Pearl" is only supposed to grant partial, but gives 100%, plus attack bonus.
