Of Acid and SA, a question

[GutterFace]

So i had an odd thought for a TWF, SA rogue build. Mostly because i didn't want to invest for combat or SA but needed to make the most of combat with what little i had on hand. (this is a skill build....like a guide)

So as DM's would you allow this. TWF Aspergillium's (some forgotten realms book) [it holds 3 flasks of acid per "load", each attack shakes 1 flask onto an enemy 5' away as a ranged touch attack]

1 can you dual wield one of these?
2 can you use raid reload to reload this and how long would it take
3 can you apply SA to an attack of this nature


or is this just crazy talk?

1) I would allow them to be dual wielded with all the normal penalties associated with TWF. Per their description I would rule them to work as a Light Mace for purposes of calculating bonuses and penalties for TWF only (weapon focus, light mace would not apply to them).

2) I would not allow Rapid Reload to work with them. It pretty clearly defines what it can do in the Feat

3) I would allow SA to work with them as long as the appropriate trigger(s) for SA are appropriately met. Using them involves a ranged attack roll, if the target is denied their dex and/or flat-footed then SA would trigger. The "within 30'" stipulation for SA would not be an issue as they already have a "within melee range" tacked onto them natively.

Also of note, as they are not a weapon I would not allow them to be enchanted as if they were.

i had not even considered enchantments hahaha, but thank you for the input this is solid feedback. thank you

You can Sneak Attack with anything that has an attack roll and does damage. The only problem with sneak attacking with acid is that it can get expensive.

crafty class, craft alchemy :)

i dont plan on being in combat much; this game is infiltration based. so i was going to stack up on those qualities. the aspergillium was my way to compensate combat feats with a ranged touch attack "weapon"

You can't dual wield one of anything. :smallwink:
