Defeated

Could pyrophobia become "defeated" By becoming a gold dragon deciple (or red, both eventualy gain immunity from all fire)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.14.248.172 (talk • contribs) 14:25, 23 May 2007 (MDT). Please sign your posts.

I think not. I would consider this a mental problem, and I do not think, just because one cannot be affected by something, they lose their fear. For example some people with mental conditions think that people are out to kill them. Just because one of these peoples gets locked away in a white room with no exits and no way out do they stop thinking that people are out to get them. So, because I would consider this a mental condition, I do not think that being immune to fire would prevent it. --Green Dragon 18:22, 28 May 2007 (MDT)

I disagree. If you are immune to fire, that gives you a powerful tool for overcoming it. With a bit of work, one could face their fear with confidence. Though as a DM, if the player were ever dealt damage by fire again, such as by being struck by fire that was half-divine or half-profane, The phobia would return and they would need to start all over again. --PhoenyxStar 11:47, 15 December 2012 (PST)
