===Extinguish / Douse a Fire===


Source: PAP#25
In general terms, a gallon of water, cool ash, sand, dirt, and similar substances can put out the flames on five square feet of surface. To extinguish the flames in a standard square thus requires five gallons of water, or a large pail.


Core Rules: 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.
A character on fire may automatically extinguish the flames by jumping into enough water to douse himself. Similarly, tossing flaming objects into a body of water larger than their Size extinguishes them. If no body of water is at hand, rolling the person or object on the ground or smothering the fire with cloaks will do the trick after one full round action spent on the activity.
 
Adventure Path #25: Dousing a fire requires a large amount of water or other non-flammable material, such as dirt, to be deposited on the burning area. One effective strategy for extinguishing a fire quickly is to surround the burning area with nonflammable material. PCs doing this must make a ranged Touch Attack against an AC of 10 to deliver their payload to the intended square.
 
The following indicates how many 5-foot squares of fire a number of the listed containers can extinguish with successful delivery.
 
Waterskin: Twenty waterskins full of water extinguish one square.
Bucket: Four buckets full of non-flammable material extinguish one square.
Gallon Container: Twelve gallon containers of nonflammable material extinguish one square.
Cauldron: One cauldron of non-flammable material extinguishes one square.
Portable Hole: A portable hole filled with non-flammable material extinguishes a 12-square-by-12-square area.
Bag of Holding: A bag of holding, type I filled with nonflammable material extinguishes a 3-square-by-3-square area, type II extinguishes a 5-square-by-5-square area, type III extinguishes a 7-square-by-7-square area, and type IV extinguishes a 10-square-by-10-square area.
