[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

The damage will depends to in the typing of the targets? Per example the 1 dice of damage in the end round will affect types who resist fire damage like Water or Fire types? And will do extra damage against pokemon who is already weak against fire such Ice or Grass types?

Or it will simple cause causes neutral Fire damage?

It's the only move in the book that specifically says it deals a certain type of damage.  Even Fire Spin and Whirlpool just do typeless damage.

In the games, this is also apparent in a very obvious way: Fire types take no damage from Fire Pledge's effect.

In Pokerole, I think the single die of Fire damage means any pokemon resistant or immune to Fire can safely battle amidst the flames without having to worry about being harmed by them, while pokemon weak to Fire have to be extra wary (poor Dry Skin Parasect gets destroyed, taking 3-4 damage at the end of every Round).  It essentially got buffed to make up for the fact that it hits your side of the field in addition to the opponent's.  If your opponent isn't prepared for Fire Pledge, they'll take a lot of chip damage at the end of the Round. If they are, though, the move isn't much more than an average spread move that might cause damage to the nearby environment.
