Sure it's not just the FE explosion getting a critical hit (if this can 
happen? Though ISTR that ALL monster attacks can critical, even ones 
that wouldn't be able to from a player)?

In any case, regarding the original post, FE explosions appear to be 
similar to the ones from Corpse Explosion, so part fire and part 
physical damage, so fire res and damage reduced by % items do help.

And the only FE "bugs" I know about don't really even concern FE alone, 
but rather FE in combination with other effects, specifically CE and LE 
(or scarab's lightning thing), which seem to apparently have the 
following results -

a) FE + LE/scarab = Invisible FE explosion each time you trigger the bolts

b) FE + CE = FE explosion and cold nova on death, but apparently these 
actually happen *twice* each

c) CE + LE/scarab = Invisible cold nova each time you trigger the bolts

d) FE + CE + LE/scarab = Invisible FE explosion AND cold nova (2 of 
each?? Not sure) each time you trigger the bolts AND double dose of FE 
and CE damage on death

Or is this a different bug?
