Monsters with a Challenge Rating that is more than  less than the a hero’s level provides no experience. or example, if a party of 7th-level heroes slays a pider swarm (a CR 1 monster), they get no XP. enerally, heroes should not face monsters with  CR more than 5 higher than their level, as these reatures are likely to be too deadly.

If the heroes overcome a monster or other hallenge with a CR 4, 5, or 6 higher than their verage level, they may deserve extra XP, especially f they use clever tactics. Feel free to award as much s double (or more!) a monster’s normal XP if a party f much lower-level heroes defeats it.

Characters exposed to fire elementals, burning oil, bonfires, and non-instantaneous magic fires might find their clothes, hair, or equipment on fire. Spells with an instantaneous duration don’t normally set a character on fire, since the heat and flame from these come and go in a flash.

Characters at risk of catching fire are allowed a DC 15 Reflex save to avoid this fate. (If a creature’s attack has a chance of lighting a character on fire, the DC might be different.) If a character’s clothes or hair catch fire, he takes 1d6 points of damage immediately. In each subsequent round, the burning character must make another Reflex saving throw. Failure means he takes another 1d6 points of damage that round. Success means that the fire has gone out. (That is, once he succeeds on his saving throw, he’s no longer on fire.)

A character on fire may automatically extinguish the flames by jumping into enough water to douse himself. If no body of water is at hand, rolling on the ground or smothering the fire with cloaks or the like permits the character another save with a +4 bonus.

Those unlucky enough to have their clothes or equipment catch fire must make DC 15 Reflex saves for each item. Flammable items that fail take the same amount of damage as the character.
