 ==Fire Damage==
-Fire damage can only be reduced by a character's [[fire resistance]] (rF+) [[intrinsic]]. This is a relatively easy resistance type to acquire, and gaining even a single rank in it cuts damage received by half. With the maximum 3 ranks, you can almost ignore fire damage entirely.

+Fire vulnerability causes you to take x150% normal damage from most fire attacks, and x200% damage from fire melee attacks. You can acquire it by:

 *Being hit by the [[Sword of Cerebov]]

 Having multiple levels of fire vulnerability does not cause greater damage; it simply makes it more difficult to acquire fire resistance.
 ==History==
 *Prior to [[0.22]], [[Dithmenos]] worshippers were forbidden from using fire spells, the flaming brand, and anything that caused fire. Dithmenos also granted additional piety for killing fire enemies.
 *Prior to [[0.19]], [[damnation]] was called [[hellfire]], and monster resistance to it also granted rF+++. Additionally, [[Dithmenos]] hated hellfire/damnation in addition to hating fire.

 ==Fire Sources==
-It is relatively easy for characters to gain access to sources of fire damage. Almost any character type can benefit from common [[flaming]]-branded weapons, which deal additional fire damage on top of their normal physical damage. Ranged weapon-users can instead use [[flame]] missiles; these do 100% of their normal damage as fire damage.

-Zapping a [[wand of fire]] or [[wand of flame]] allows almost any character to inflict fire damage at range, softening up threats from a distance or killing them outright.

 The [[Fire Magic]] school is also available to [[fire elementalist]]s or any character with [[Spellcasting]] capabilities and an appropriate [[book]]. This school is devoted almost entirely to dealing damage, mostly through direct damage, but with a few subtle spells as well.
