Fire vs Big Targets

[larsdangly]

Great question. I think a strict application of RAW would be that you take fire damage every time one of your hexes enters a fire hex, and so the highest total applies. On the other hand, if you are trying to make a rational ruling you might also note that a 1 hex figure that simply stands for a full turn in a fire hex takes 4, so you might cap the damage at 4.

A related question: should you apply armor or natural protection once to the total, or to each 2 point wound? I would say the latter.

Yeah, I treat each hex of the multi-hex figure as a single figure for fire damage purposes, both for the damage and the protection.

Though sometimes it also makes sense to give a higher protection rating... e.g. a giant's boots might protect against small enough fires like leather armor.

The former is how fire works RAW. It's underneath the FIRE spell.
