Sunfire hits caster and causes saving throw

[TinyMage]

According to the description it should not effect the caster at all, but the caster rolls a saving throw and acts like they got hit even though they take no damage.

I'm not sure this should be changed, and I'm not sure why they did it the way they did.

 

Locally, I change this to Fireball (no center) and remove the brief fire immunity, but I don't know if it's 100% identical to the current Fireball-cast-on-self. One benefit is that it no longer hits the caster (even though no damage is taken, it would still cause the caster to act like they'd taken damage).

 

The Wail of the Banshee immunity is also completely spurious, since the spell cannot affect party members (including the caster). Again, I don't really think I'd label this a "bug."

Userunfriendly will be happy to tell you all about how the fire immunity can be abused. If it can be fixed, it should be.

Can it be fixed that sunfire ignores magic resistance?

Sunfire is already on the radar. It's got a lot of funk because the spell is essentially cast at the caster.
