Ushering patrons out of the burning inn, your arms are singed by a sudden conflagration.
Fire damage is self-explanatory: we all know what fire is and how it damages stuff. In terms of dishing it out, there are plenty of spells to draw from, and if you want to be throwing Fireballs nonstop, we suggest the Evocation [DnD Wizard subclass](https://www.wargamer.com/dnd/wizard-subclasses-5e) could be right for you.
However, unlike cold or lightning, you can also harness fire using mundane equipment. If you’re out of spell slots, oil flasks and a tinderbox may come in clutch to turn up the heat on a burnable monster.
Fire damage is a rather mixed bag. It has a higher number of vulnerable monsters than any other damage type (wooden or ice-based enemies beware) but more monsters resist fire than any other damage type, barring poison. In particular, if you’re taking a trip to the nine hells, leave your fire scrolls at home. Fiends will have a field day with fire reliant PCs.
