I was playing this RPG and the ice armor is supposed to be effective against fire enemies. But should this really be the case? Wouldn't fire rip through and melt ice? I would think fire armor would be better against a fire attack because the damage should be minimal. IYHO, should ice weapons and armor be effective against fire and flame enemies and attacks?
If someone attacked my with flames, a shield of ice doesn't sound half bad.
It will absorb the heat and block the flames, keeping the skin cool.
Unless the flame persists for a longer period of time the ice won't melt in an instant.
