In computer games and wargames, damage over time (DoT) is a type of effect that causes damage in regular increments (or at a steady rate) for a limited amount of time. This damage can be equal at all increments, or it may build up or diminish in power while the effect remains. If a unit is dealing damage over time but must continue with a certain action to allow the damage to continue, it is referred to as a "Channeling" action, such as a "channeling spell".
