It gives us to it in RAW in the elementals stat block. Where on Earth would it say that word for word in RAW? Rules that specific are useless. If Tidal Wave was meant to instantly extinguish a Fire Elemental, it would say as much in the RAW. Fire elementals are susceptible to water and take 1 point of cold damage for every gallon of water splashed on them.

That's 3375 cubic feet of water or 25246.75 gallons. Dust of Dryness turns a cube of water, 15 feet to a side, into a marble-sized pellet. The druid smashed the pellet against the wall next to himself and the fire elemental causing the pellet to revert to water. As the druid went to investigate, it was revealed that the containment vessel for the fire elemental had been breached and the elemental was baring down on him. Next to the submerged chamber, was another with a "trapped" fire elemental. This drained most of the water from the room and left a small pellet behind that the druid picked up. After failing its save, the water elemental took 42 points of damage and collapsed after the warlock hit it with two Agonizing Eldritch Blasts.

The druid, who had wild shaped into a Giant Spider and was crawling across the ceiling, remembers the Dust, drops out of wild shape and pulls out the Dust of Dryness. TL DR, last night, the druid did over 25,000 points of damage to a fire elemental.Ībout ten sessions back, the PCs were rewarded with some Dust of Dryness, which since the campaign takes place in the Menachtarun (a large Sahara-like desert in the Eberron setting) was promptly dropped into a Bag of Holding and largely forgotten.įast forward to last night and the PCs are making their way through some giant ruins and encounter a water elemental in a partially submerged room. I'll just copypasta a post of mine from two weeks ago.
