The grease may indeed be flammable, but it's not so specially flammable as to cause significant extra fire damage — if it were, it would say so. I'd rule that it either burns in a flash that does no damage, or minimal damage like the non-magical damage from a lit torch as a weapon — save or take 1 point of fire damage.

JC's tweet is meant to reinforce the idea that spells do only what they say that they do.

Since the spell does only what it says, we have to assume the intent is that the grease has no particular color and no particular odor. It also isn't flammable. We know this because the spell doesn't specify any of these properties. So, aside from being slick, making people fall prone, and turning an area into difficult terrain, the grease is nonde...
JC's tweet describes to us that if a spell that was intended to have a given effect, then that effect would be printed in the spell description. As far as the grease is concerned, there is mention anywhere that the grease from the greasespell is flammable. Ergo, the designers of the game did not intend for the grease to be flammable.
RAW, grease is not flammable. And even though everyone in here is saying that it should be, Im going to contribute the opposite perspective: Not all grease is flammable. Indeed, lots of grease in mechanical contexts is used precisely because it is not flammable.
Jun 5, 2019 · Improvising with Grease. Grease is the kind of spell that thrives when a Dungeon Master allows their players to use their knowledge of real-world physics to their advantage.
