How easy are hearth fires to destroy?

[Ziggyzog]

Like if someone has vandalism or something.

It takes 36 Str and a lot of stamina to destroy

if you own the claim the hearth fire is on, you do not need vandalism to destroy one, and you leave no scents

actually 25 strength i belive, but i cant confirm, its bee nthat long since i done it

It takes 26 strength to cause damage. A hearth fire has a soak of 5, which means you need 5^2 str to cause damage (that's 5 squared, for those who are mathematically challenged. So, 25 str is negated, and 26 will inflict minute damage. It will take a hella-long time, but it's possible. See if there's anyone nearby that can loan you a bear cape for the afternoon.

at 26 str it would take forever. You would do 0.099 damage per tick, and hearth fires have a lot of health

actually I meant 36 not 32 str, so you would do a full point of damage per tick
