just had my character killed by a summoned water elemental that fisten madaster summoned it killed iteslf to drown us and naturally I rolled a 1 and my character died. Bit peeved at this since it was a fight she woulda won without the damned elemental but thats not important important question is is this a bug or do the summonses sometimes try to kill you dont think I ever seen this happen before just wondered if its an abberrration or if its supposed to happen every so often?

The water elemental uses an area effect drown attack.  Blame Fisten for using such a thing! *evil snicker* |

Oh no! the water elemental didnt go crazy it used its special attack form that just also happens to target the party, Thats hilarious when I get over being annoyed I will laugh but its yet another case of dont cast this spell while in combat in a small room.

Correct. Whenever I summon one (by bad luck) I tend to unsummon it again simply because of that chance of instant death to my companions.  |

Yep. Water elemental sucks. Bigger question, though: Have you ever summoned an earth elemental? There was a bug in the spell that an earth elemental doesn't summon, I think.

Come to think of it, that's probably right. I've used Summon Creature IX a great deal, and never once have I seen an earth elemental. Worth looking into perhaps? |

The only time I have ever seen an Earth elemental summoned in game was with the Druid spell Elemental Swarm. The Summon Creature spells 7 to 9 th have never called one up. It is likely a flaw in the game.
If you have an answer to a question, please send a DM a PM and they will post it. Please refrain from posting in the DM Q&A forum.

To actually answer your question...  Because of the settings on FRC, even friendly mis-fire on spells can damage party members, so... you are not safe from the chance of being hit by the radius of a fireball, ice storm, or... elemental area of effect spells. |
