Engery resistance and persistent damage

[Elric200]

If you have fire resistance 10 and get hit with a effect that deals persistant fire damage whatt happens do you have to roll to put out the persistant fire damage or does it just fizzle out if it is below your fire resistance?

[NorrKnekten]

RAW the condition remains and isn't removed. Wether or not you actually need to roll depends on if the fire can penetrate the resistance.

For example you wouldnt need to roll while taking 1d6 damage and having a whole minute left of resistance, but you would still roll if you are taking 2d6 since the fire can occasionally overcome the resistance.

And abilities might later lower or dispel your Resistance, give you a Weakness, or otherwise enhance the effect. So while it may seem meaningless at first there are (contrived) situations where it matters.

But IMO it looks cool. Your enemy's hoping they've inflicted something significant, but you're there burning blissfully. That should increase respect and/or fear (even if there's no mechanic behind it).

Arguably it's a light source too, albeit a poor one.

And if you finish the battle soon enough: marshmallows.

Not just marshmallows...S'mores! *Assuming Golarion has its own version of graham crackers.*

They definitely could, as Graham flour is just a specific way of processing wheat.
