Hi all,
How exactly does searing flame work?
"Over time, your burning infusion sears away your foe's fire resistance. When you roll burn damage from burning infusion against a foe, decrease the foe's fire resistance by an amount equal to the unmodified burn damage; don't apply fire resistance to this roll for the purpose of determining the reduction. This decrease lasts for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your kineticist level.
These decreases stack, to a minimum resistance of 0."
And also burning infusion is:
"Your kinetic blast ignites your foes. Whenever an infused blast hits a foe and penetrates its spell resistance, that foe catches on fire, regardless of whether it takes damage. A foe that catches fire takes 1d6 points of fire damage each round until the fire is extinguished. Against a creature on fire from this infusion, any fire kinetic blasts gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls, to DCs, and on caster level checks to overcome spell resistance."
So is the fire resistance reduced only by the additional "on fire" damage? If so, what if they are on fire for several rounds, does this stack?
Or is the fire resistance reduced only by the base "blast damage" of the infusion?
Or something else?

Hi all,
Let me know. My mesmerist died. RIP. (Pause for silent respect...)
And I am now playing a 7th level fire/fire kineticist. It would be nice if I knew how this ability worked.
Only respond if you KNOW how things work. I don't really want pointless speculation, because I can do that all by myself.
Thanks!

Just a tip, people will be more likely to help out if you don't insult them while asking your question.
Short of a Designer answering (not gonna happen) everything anyone brings to this board will in fact be speculation.

Bolded the answers in your own post.
Burning infusion doesn't deal blast damage on it's own, it sets the target on fire, so only the 'on fire' damage counts.The decreases stack.
