Spontaneous Combustion (D)

You spontaneously erupt into flames.

Small chance each round you're in combat that you spontaneously erupt into flames.

Spontaneous Combustion (D) is a physical defect that causes the player to randomly erupt into flames.

When a player with Spontaneous Combustion is close to hostile creatures, there is a 0.2% chance every turn for their temperature to raise 400-700 degrees, causing them to instantly catch on fire.

Advantages & Disadvantages

Advantages

• Grants three extra points to use on character creation
• The chance to combust is very low and can only occur during combat
  • Can defrost the player if they are frozen in combat
• With high enough heat resistance it is possible to mostly mitigate the effects of the temperature increase, preventing any actual combustion

Disadvantages

• No way to know when the combustion will occur
• Combusting at an inopportune time can make a bad situation even worse
• Combusting at low health could potentially kill the player
