I think this is correct, I recall reading dev's post that said something along this lines long time ago, if I rember correctly.
hm is that then an additional damage roll with 8ap fire bless damage +2d6 oe ?
that would make sense .
if it only does 8 ap damage though it couldn't damage a 16+ protection unit .


Probably, although the devs didn't specify the open-endenenss of this, IIRC, but that would make sense in the global picture. And keep in mind that it is AP damage, that makes a big difference.

do you remember how that is with flaming arrows ?
cause there you get +8 ap flaming damage too so it would make sense if it works the same way .

Yes, Flaming Arrows gives the same "flame weapons" effect to archers as fire blessing to the blessed trops. So in effect each arrow strike twice, the 2nd time it is AP. That's why it is so deadly.

Also according to Sunray's guide, at this moment fire immunity does not protect you against "flame" part of "flaming arrows" damage due to the bug. Although I did not test it personally, so I can't really confirm or deny this Last fact.
