D&D has gotten better at divding out combat damage which maps to HP and hurts high level PCs less, and other effects that are more immediate and binarily successful (bull rush, trip, etc)I propose making those who are caught on fire take 1d6 points of damage per round CUMULATIVELY until the fire is put out.r 1: 1d6r 2: 3d6r 3: 6d6etc.Acid really should have a similar effect, but there isn't a continuous burning with acid. So we can still assume that the high level PC just is so effective are reducing damage that the acid only hits him a little bit, and his damage is a small percenatage of his total HP compared to a first level charcater.</blockquote>
