Oma, stop trying to play word games, read the section under Damage Types in the rules.


    Acid effects work when you interact with acid not when you are attacked with acid, is the first that you need understand.

Remember what I said about saying Acid isn`t Acid was &$%ing Idiotic, if being splashed with acid isn`t interacting with acid, then you are just showing how you are attempting to manilpulate the rules and how desperate your stance is.


BTW, Melf`s Acid Arrow. Does it do it`s Acid Damage Instantly or per round    

sorry but that not are under Damage Type are Under Energy Section.

easy example under your logic the acid flask deal 2d6 of acid damage one as decribed in her entry and other in the next or the same turn because is one acid effect.

the other way is that this is an acid effect but because not are a round of exposure this weapon only deal the described damage not the extra damage for be an acid effect.

in the 2 ways or not is the same or you need 6 full seconds to take 1d6 of acid damage.

Melf`s Acid Arrow does Acid Damage,

Does it do that damage Instantly or does it do the damage per round.

Is it the same damage as a flask or is it an acid effect. 

Simple questions Oma. Answer them or admit you are wrong.
  

very easy as described in her entry not as described in Acid effect then not are the same.

as example Melf Acid arrow only do the damage described not her damage plus the acid effect.

ok again what have to be the kind of damage to the rules to apply the damage????

as example what have to do a grapple with a tunnel collapse

Yes Melf's Acid Arrow do ACID DAMAGE but don't is an Acid Effect is a Spell

Yes if you Swim in a Pool of acid you take ACID damage but not is a spell is an Acid effect

whit this you can say "a character with acid resistan can apply it to both Spells that deal acid damage and acid effects"

if you are saying that the Melf's Acid Arrow is an Acid effect then why it deal 2d4 instead of 1d6 or instead of 2d4 pluss 1d6???

Again if are the same i am right in the part that you need a full round to deal the acid effect damage for it this spell only do 2d4 instead of 2d4 plus 1d6.

If not are the same then i am right.

Does Melf's Acid Arrow do Instant Damage or Damage per round?

It does both, and works just like any other acid effect.

When hit with an Acid Arror you take instant damage. If it was a level 1 caster then that is all the damage you take from it. End of effect, so if you cast a spell afterwards that same round, you don't make a concentration check from it.

However it deals that instant damage in damage "per round"  that insatnt effect counts as a round of exposure. for you see...

If it was a higher level caster it could last for multple rounds or the same damage as a lower level caster.

In the case that it lasts for 2 rounds, You take the first round of damage instantly, and if you are casting a spell during that round (like in the above case) you would need to make a concentration check for half that damage.


On the start of the second round you would take a second round of damage. As the effect lasts 2 rounds you will no longer be effected if you cast a spell.

Examples: (initiative order is Enemy Caster then you)

Caster: Casts low level Melf's Acid arror, you take damage
You: cast a spell like normal

Example 2:

Caster: casts Melf's Acid arrow, high enough for 3 rounds of damage, You take instant damage
You: Cast a spell, make concentration check

Caster: You take 2nd round of damage, caster makes his turn
You: You cast a spell, make a concentration check

Caster : You take 3rd round of damage, effect ends, Caster takes his turn
You: You cast a spell as normal. 


There you go, that's how Acid effects work.  
  

"Some forms of energy can have other effects."

Except you are applying it in reverse. Some forms of energy "can have other effects" other then the effects listed below.
