However, if it was a regular gas, I can't really see how it could burn through a mop suit, kevlar suit, and regular clothing underneath that in one phase. In addition to that, given that there was a explosion, I think most of the flammables would have evaporated/burned during the initial combustion. Gas don't stick well to fabric, and certainly wouldn't remain there for several phases - it would evaporate after a few seconds. And why didn't the same inflammable material stick to the robot?


But like I said, I don't know what was in the container.
I thought that the natural gas in the container would burn for longer as it was in a restricted space and had less than optimum supply of oxygene.Also I though that the gear you mentioned would catch fire and that this in it self would give burn wounds .(As pr core rules you get 1D6 dmg PR SECOND in a phase if burnt by gasoline,napalm or other where as you guys got 1D6 pr PHASE).

Also I did state that the robot was engulfed in flames , but with less burnable material on the outside it would go out faster.

But I hear you and will amend for next time I blow you up .
Firstly I then think that the next gas explosion will be more a 2 phase affair .
phase 1 -shockwave ,shrapnel flying and the heatblast
phase 2 - remaining gas ,if any, burns out and a lesser heatblast pluss debris coming down again

what do you think guys?
