. . . hope I don't get lynched for this, but here goes.
I have a FT with 72/12/12 HAM costs.
I'm a Mon Cal and fully armored I have 176 Strength.
When I do a Flame Single 2 it costs me a mere 23 Health.
Is Flame Single 2 really supposed to have a Health cost modifier this low?

It's been that way since I've been a commando but I must admit, it's not that long. I only hit novice shortly before the 2.5x modifier was removed and master about 3 weeks ago. I choose not to talk about it though so perhaps it won't get drastically raised...

Considering the other restrictions placed on the flamethrower specials, I dont think the HAM costs should be high.

Yeah, it's been thise way since I picked up the profession months ago. I'd say that it's bugged, but if the FT had a high HAM it would really be worth alot less than it already is.

Fully intentional. That low ham cost has been a part of the flamethrower since it was upgraded from a pop-gun to the heavy but slow hitting beast it is now. Because of the large delay the devs took pity on us and gave us that vastly reduced ham cost because otherwise we would be slapped with VERY high ham costs and that mixed with the long delay of being unable to heal ourselves means we would die everytime we used the special.
