−	A 'Fire Dot' is a Damage Over Time (DOT) attack. While a target is on fire, their affected HAM bar will take on damage and wounds at every 10 second tick cycle of the Fire Dot after the target has been set on fire. As an example, if a player is hit with a 100 damage Fire Dot, 10 seconds passes by and then the player takes 100 damage and then subsequently takes 100 in wounds. A Fire Dot will last until cured by the Extinguish Fire ability, Total Heal Self abilities, if the target swims into water, or its duration runs out. Each form of Fire Dot attack has a base chance (possibly a potency value) of applying the Fire Dot effect. This base chance is checked against the target's Fire Dot resistance to determine the ultimate percentage chance for the effect to land. Fire Resistance of the target also works to reduce the flame damage of the dot to the target by the listed value from skill modifiers and/or food bonuses.	+	A 'Fire Dot' is a Damage Over Time (DOT) attack. Targets that receive a fire dot are flagged as being On Fire. While a target is on fire, their affected HAM bar will take on damage and wounds at every 10 second tick cycle of the Fire Dot after the target has been set on fire. As an example, if a player is hit with a 100 damage Fire Dot, 10 seconds passes by and then the player takes 100 damage and then subsequently takes 100 in wounds.

Fire Resistance of the target also works to reduce the flame damage of the dot to the target by the listed value from skill modifiers and/or food bonuses.

	Fire Dots cannot be used to kill or incapacitate a target as it will only bring the target down to 1 point of HAM at the least. Fire Dots can only take the target's ham bar down to its base value. For instance if a player's original mind bar stat is 1000 and has a 500 stat mind buff while on fire, then this will result in a ham pool that is 501/1500 with 999 wounds to the mind. Fire Dots will be removed from the player when they are killed. Fire dots can be applied to a target provided that they are from different sources. For example flame single 1 can be applied along with flame single 2, flame cone 1 and flame cone 2. Furthermore, the highest strength Fire Dot of the same effect overwrites lower strength Fire Dot if the target is already set on fire on that particular ham pool by a similar type of attack. If the fire dot damages are the same or higher then the fire dot tick cycle is reset. The higher damage dot will begin a new tick cycle using the higher damage.

	Cone Area fire dots are dots that are applied in an arching cone area emininating in front of the attacker and will hit all targets within a certain radius of the attacker. Presumably special attacks that utilize weapons with inherent Fire Dot effects can be considered area of effect Fire Dots if the special utilizes an area of attack. The Fire Dot effect from the weapon would attempt to apply its effect individually on all targets within the radius on the attack.
