I have noticed that naphtha still ignites from dragon priest sentinels while I have grounding field up, tuned to negate fire. Is this a bug with a spell, a bug with the creature, or some sort of contest that I'm failing?

The bug is you chose grounding field, you should head to throne and get rid of it ASAP I think at this point air bubble does more for you then GF

We had a thread on this recently, somewhere, but I think it was a different critter and the culprit was special attack mechanics. I'd bug it in-game if you haven't already (while standing in the dragon priest area) for future generations to look into and fix.

I also wouldn't be surprised if naphtha doesn't actually do fire damage.

It probably doesn't, and burning naphtha probably has more in common with critter special attacks than anything in core combat which probably goes a ways to explain why GF can't extinguish burning naphtha. It's ostensibly supposed to require fire damage to ignite, which GF should prevent, but doesn't in all cases.

I submitted the bug in game as well. I picked up Grounding Field specifically for this situation so I was disappointed when it did not work as advertised.
