Scaling DOT Debuffs

Damage over time (DOT) effects on npcs such as fire, frostburn, poison, etc, will scale up based on their max health.
Against small enemies there is almost no difference, but against bosses you might see a 3-5x boost to the DOT.
This does not affect players. Multi-segment enemies like worms have the scaling reduced based on the number of segments.

If "r" is the amount of time in seconds it takes a DOT to kill an npc from full health, then:
at r ≤ 10 -> 1x dot
at r > 10 -> start scaling up slowly
at r ≈ 64 -> x2 dot
at r ≈ 211 -> x3 dot
at r ≈ 526 -> x4 dot
at r ≈ 1110 -> x5 dot
at r ≈ 2100 -> x6 dot

If you have multiple DOT debuffs, they are added together before the scaling applies. This means there are some diminishing returns.
This works with ALL effects that use negative life regen to deal damage. It should work with any mods too.

The actual formula for the scaled DOT is:
threshold -> t = 10
exponent -> x = 0.4
number of body segments -> s
scaling factor -> r = ( max health / ( t * dot * s ) )
final dot = dot * r ^ ( x * 12 / ( 12 + Log(r) ) )
The threshold and exponent can be configured.
