This sticky, adhesive fluid ignites when exposed to air, burning with an intense, persistent flame. A favorite among adventurers, mercenaries, and saboteurs, alchemist’s fire is both a weapon of destruction and a tool of strategic disruption.
Usage:
As an action, you can throw this flask up to 20 feet, shattering it on impact. Make a ranged attack against a creature or object, treating the alchemist’s fire as an improvised weapon. On a hit, the target takes 1d4 fire damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature can end this damage by using its action to make a DC 10 Dexterity check to extinguish the flames.
