    So my opponent uses the ability impervious on a northern cross priestess, and I use pure fire to dispel it and then attack. Shouldn't the priestess take the 6 fire damage, since the cleansing and dispelling happen BEFORE the damage? Or are all effects supposed to be simultaneous?

    Thoughts?

    IS takes less damage from spells due to their faction bonus.

    Top of the threads, at the right there is a "watch thread" feature, that is the same thing that you have set to happen automatically when you post.
    On topic, In my experience, purefire attemps to damage before dispelling. Not sure if WAI or not.

    but isn't that only 5 less? so she still should have taken 1?

    It's 6. Hence 3 for split faction. Sometimes I think it's just for the even half's sake.

    But yes, IS completely negates the dmg, which isn't what you should be using it for anyway, but it is unfortunate as that bonus is definitely the reason I don't use a few spells (Since some only activate from dealing damage).
