Cauteriser: Deals an additional 1d4 Fire damage.

Flourish Bonus Action Lacerate Action

Mortician Kurwin was known to use his trusty Cauteriser on all sorts of interesting subjects. At first these were cadavers, then people who wouldn't be missed, and it was only after he targeted a well-liked tavern owner that he was ratted out to the law.

Effect

Burning

A Burning creature takes 1d4 Fire damage each turn.

Stage 2 · Reading the situationElements and terrain

Taking Fire damage once is different from having Burning remain on you. Leaving the flames does not necessarily remove an existing condition.

Wet and Help are among the ways to remove Burning. Move away from a persistent fire surface as well, or it may affect you again.
