The flaming brand deals an average of +25% fire damage, or 0% - 50% more per swing, reduced proportionally by fire resistance. This damage is applied after AC. Although less effective against creatures with fire resistance, it can devastate anything vulnerable to it.
A flaming edged weapon (Long Blades, Axes, 2-handed Polearms, lajatang) will cauterize a hydra's heads, preventing it from regrowing. In effect, they reduce the head count by 1 per hit, without any of the regular healing.
