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. A Size Medium Character has roughly 25 square feet of surface, and thus requires five gallons to put out. Size Small requires only a gallon, size Large requires forty gallons, Size Huge requires 320 gallons, etc. | 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.

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. | A character on fire may automatically extinguish the flames by jumping into enough water to douse himself.
