Add 'Burning' as a pseudo condition

[krbz999]

Nice to have due to Alchemist's Fire.

Could also be useful for the Fire Elemental entering a creature's space. Though it is odd that alchemist's fire does only 1d4 and requires an action and a DC10 Dexterity check to put out the flames, while the fire elemental does 1d10 and requires only an action to douse the fire.

I think adding the "Corroding" effect to the DOT caused by Tasha's Caustic Brew spell would be a good idea.

[Rabulias]

Perhaps broaden this suggestion to a more generic "pseudo condition" effect that applies at the start of turn, with variables for:

• Amount of damage
• Type of damage
• Saving throw (None, Save ends, Save for half, Save once vs every round, etc.), including DC and ability
• Duration

Even further, supporting a successful skill check to end an effect, like Athletics and/or Acrobatics to escape a Grapple?

Burning is a specific Hazard in the 2024 PHB. It inflicts 1d4 fire damage at the start of the creature's turn until it is extinguished.

I would also note that it clarifies that taking an action to put out the flames on oneself normally requires going Prone. Stop, drop, and roll!
