A creature with the fire subtype has immunity to fire. It has vulnerability to cold, which means it takes half again as much (+50%) damage as normal from cold, regardless of whether a saving throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or failure. | A creature with the fire subtype has immunity to fire.

| - | === | + | ===Giant=== |
| - | + | A creature with the giant subtype is oversized for its type. Giant creatures possess all traits and features of their base type, and are generally several times larger than their base creature counterparts, though not always. Some creatures use the Giant subtype to annotate their ancestry (such as the [[d20r:Half-Giant|Half-Giant race]]). | |

A subtype applied only to outsiders. These creatures have mortal ancestors or a strong connection to the Material Plane and can be ''raised, reincarnated'', or ''resurrected'' just as other living creatures can be. Creatures with this subtype are native to the Material Plane (hence the subtype's name). Unlike true outsiders, native outsiders need to eat and sleep. | A subtype applied only to outsiders.

| - | === | + | ===Racial=== |
| - | + | Humanoid races carry a subtype to help determine differing creatures from one another. Generally these subtypes are only used for prerequisites, but some abilities or items (such as an ''arrow of elf-slaying'' or the Favored Enemy feat) interact with these subtypes. If a subtype is not listed here or is not described in a later section, it can be assumed it is a racial subtype and follows the rules presented here. Some example racial subtypes are Reptilian, Goblinoid, Human, Dwarf, and Elf. | |
