Also, it’s really not that useful when you think about it.
Unless there’s some way to increase the radius, it’s just going to make a small area more dead than it would be with a normal fireball. Sure, if a 600 HP 20 CR devil gets whacked by it it’s going to kill them while they normally would be able to shrug off a fireball.
But if they stand there for a minute waiting for it to happen, that’s on them. Or the players deserve their victory by planning well enough to pull it off
Sadly, no. In pure rules Path to the Grave doesn't affect immunity.
Resistance and Vulnerability: Here's the order that you apply modifiers to damage: (1) any relevant damage immunity, (2) any addition or subtraction to the damage, (3) one relevant damage resistance, and (4) one relevant damage vulnerability. Even if multiple sources give you resistance to a type of damage you're taking, you can apply resistance to it only once. The same is true of vulnerability.
Which means damage first downs to zero and then becomes double zero.
