12/9/2023 0 Comments Phb alchemist fire 5e![]() Though it makes sense they're no on the weapon table to me. Yes I do completely agree that improvised weapons, and acid vials/alchemist fire, haven't been thought out very well. What DOES seem like an oversight is the power of thrown weapons in actual play, compared to ranged weapons, so I'm in agreement there, but again, that isn't the discussion. I'm not beyond questioning certain choices in the book, mind you, but keeping SA limited to certain specific weapons is in line with other weapon design choices, it definitely doesn't seem an oversight. It's clearly a deliberate choice made from a balance perspective, so yes, it is an intended balance thing. So since the weapons that can't SA are stronger, we see a pattern we also see in regular weapons. So it seems intended that some thrown weapons can benefit from SA, and some can't, otherwise SA would trigger on 'ranged attack rolls'. The balance of thrown weapons is neither here, nor there, but it's clear to me that all weapons have been designed with access to sneak attack in mind. I'm not commenting on the acid vial case, just the case that there is a difference between ranged weapons, and ranged attack, how that interacts with sneak attack, and how certain weapons are, and aren't, balanced around having access to sneak attack. Doesn't sound like much, but it's meant to slowly turn up the heat until they realize they've been standing in boiling water Mathmatics wise, AF would deal 1d4+2 at level 1 and 1d4+6 at max prof already that level 1 AF does the average damage of a regular AF at minimum, and at max level it's doing 7-10 damage. Getting a foe to waste a turn early means less resources used. Max proficiency would change that 2 to a 6, which doesn't sound like much, but being able to toss out 2 of these as a Thief rogue per turn, every turn, makes the extra 4-8 damage a solid bonus.ĭon't even get me started on Alchemists Fire getting extra damage from proficiency that's an even bigger reason for an enemy to spend an action sooner rather than later, which is incredibly valuable because combat only lasts a good 3ish rounds. ![]() If a player creates them, let them add their proficiency bonus to the damage it reliably scales, and scales decently to boot.ġrst level, an homemade Acid Vial would do 2d6 + Dex + 2 damage, potentially triggering a Sneak Attack as well (idk if that works tbh).
