Besides, being able to do 20d6 points of damage to something (or more) without a save, on a TOUCH ATTACK, for a measly 1,000 gp, would break the game. Theoretically, it could be a very powerful weapon- just not at once. Not only would the range increments be ridiculously short (in other words, you'd never be able to throw it without catching yourself in the splash area), but you'd take insane penalties just for using the dang thing as a weapon. Think of it this way: Why would being hit with a barrel of Alchemist's fire do more damage than being immersed in lava?Īlso, you have to think- nobody, and I mean NOBODY, is going to be able to use a 400-lb barrel of a semi-viscous liquid as a weapon. If you're covered in gallons and gallons of it (or, at least, one side of you is), not every single ounce is going to be exposed to air. After all, Alchemist's Fire burns when exposed to the air. Just because someone is hit by a larger amount of Alchemist's Fire doesn't mean they take the damage of every single pint of it. Feel free to move it if you think it's more appropriate there. ![]() Of course, any alchemist worth his philosopher's stone wouldn't make a whole barrel of this stuff-they'd mix each flask individually to avoid demolishing their workshop (and probably dying in the process).ĪDMINS: Sorry, meant to stick this in the Rules section. My gut reaction was something along the lines of this.ģd6 bludgeoning plus 20d6 fire with a direct hit, all creatures within 20' take 5d6 points of splash damage.Īll creatures within 20' take 5d6 points of splash damage. (so it has the equivalent of 50 flasks of alchemist's fire, valued at around 1000 gp). I'm thinking along the lines of a 50 gallon wooden barrel (so the barrel itself would weigh close to 50 lbs.) weighing in somewhere around 100 lbs. While working through some adventure ideas, I've come across a need to categorize what exactly might happen if a barrel of alchemist fire were used as a weapon. ![]()
