+====== Damage Over Time ======
+{{ rpd:images:burning_buff.png|Damage Over Time}}
+Damage over time (DoT) refers to effects that cause damage periodically for a set number of turns, without requiring an active action from the source of the damage.
+==== Types of Damage Over Time Effects ====
+  * **[[rpd:burning_buff|Burning]]** - Fire damage that also destroys items
+  * **[[rpd:poison_buff|Poison]]** - Damage based on percentage of current HP
+  * **[[rpd:bleeding_buff|Bleeding]]** - Fixed damage per turn
+  * **[[rpd:corruption|Corruption]]** - Gradually turns the target into an enemy
+  * **[[rpd:drowsy_buff|Drowsy]]** - Eventually causes sleep effect
+==== Sources of Damage Over Time ====
+  * **Attacks**: Some enemies have attacks that apply DoT effects
+  * **Traps**: Fire traps, poison traps, and other environmental hazards
+  * **Weapons**: Weapons with specific enchantments (like Fire, Poison, etc.)
+  * **Spells**: Certain spells like Ignite or Corrupt
+  * **Items**: Some items may apply DoT when equipped or used
+==== Countering Damage Over Time ====
+  * **[[rpd:potion_of_purity_item|Potion of Purity]]** - Removes most DoT effects
+  * **[[rpd:chalice_of_blood_item|Chalice of Blood]]** - For bleeding effects
+  * **[[rpd:ring_of_elements|Ring of Elements]]** - Provides resistance to various DoT effects
+  * **[[rpd:resistance_buff|Resistances]]** - Natural resistances can reduce or prevent DoT effects
+==== Strategic Uses ====
+  * Apply DoT to enemies before other attacks to increase overall damage
+  * Combine DoT with other effects (like roots) to maximize damage while the enemy can't escape
+  * Use DoT on groups of enemies to affect multiple targets simultaneously
+  * Consider DoT when deciding whether to engage in combat
