Offensive alchemist potions

[Jessyn]

OOOh, vial of flamey death, i like it.  or \"Big nasty bucket of pain and baleful suffering?  seriously though, it should probably be called something like a \"Fireflask\" or Alchemist\'s fire, or Xacha\'s fire(like greek fire).

lol i think offensive potions would be cool. It would give warriors a kind of \"magical\" (even though it\'s science) advantage.

I think it\'s  kind of duplicating ranged spells - they do the same thing - but I like the whole idea - I always liked Molotov cocktails...

Great idea, but shouldn\'t you have to throw 2 vials, or a vial and some material, so they can react? would be sort of a bummer if the lid on your Alchemist\'s Fire potion slid off in your bag, and it got a chance to react with air (assuming the liquid does react with air, since there is only one vial to be thrown), suddenly we have a Screaming Alchemist On Fire.

EDIT: Also, this would open up for some interesting traps O.o

[Icefalcon]

yes! traps would be awesome. You got a point there where you would have to mix em to get a reaction...i dunno :\\

[Jessyn]

well, you could always have two vials tied together.... or something like a molotov(with fire outside the jar, jar breaks...), and some explosives are impact sensitive....  and that\'s just with pure RL science.... add magic to that...   Heeeheeee, boom!

hmm that would be a new use for crystals.make a potion and add a red crystal for fire damage,a green one for poison damage and the diamond for the really nasty stuff like blind and stun a group of critters.
(the hunt for crystals will never get out of fashion:))
