so, burning in combat is essentially a HUGE penalty, especially if you're running the Human Torch trait.
why? blocking, buckling into chairs (the fast way, at least), and literally EVERY OTHER RESIST-BASED ACTION is overridden by burning in such a way that trying to defend yourself makes you go prone and drop everything in your hands, even if you're taking no damage because of genes or heavy firesuits
how to fix? make it so you roll only if you're already prone, leaving it to be a bit less of a complete handicap. sure you still can't block while prone, but it's better than completely disabling it because you're on fire.
