[RPG] Does a Pyromancy Apprentice with the Burn Everything Feat ignore Fire Immunity

damage-resistancednd-4ewizard

If a Wizard (Mage) who was apprenticed under the Pyromancy School also had the Burn Everything feat, would he ignore Fire Immunity?

Let me explain:
The Pyromancy Apprentice benefit allows you to ignore fire resistance. (I'm assuming that this doesn't include Immunity.)

Level 1 Pyromancy Apprentice
You gain a +1 bonus to damager rolls with arcane fire attacks. This bonus increases to +2 at 11th level, and +3 at 21st level. Additionally, your attacks ignore fire resistance.

While the Burn Everything Feat allows you to ignore a certain amount of fire resistance, and to treat fire immunity as resist fire 25.

Burn Everything
Your arcane fire powers ignore an amount of fire resistance equal to your Intelligence modifier. The fire resistance you ignore increases to 5 + your intelligence modifier at 11th level and to 10 + your intelligence modifier at 21st level. If the creature is immune to fire, instead treat that creature as having resist fire 25.

Combined together, would this allow a wizard to ignore Fire Immunity?

I have actually looked into this before, and the answer is yes, they will be treating Fire Immunity as if it didn't exist. I have long wondered exactly why they decided to allow you to break certain character builds, and the teifling with fire damage is one of them.

it used to be that you could pick up some kind of weapon to just change all or most of your attacks to fire attacks, but apparently (according to JLan's comment) they errataed that out.
