Question about Telekinetic Projectile:
What happens when you use it with a splash weapon? The description says "The type of object thrown doesn't change the damage type or any other properties of the attack, even if you throw a weapon or magic item in this way", but logically, acid or alchemist fire would break, yes? Has anyone else had this come up?

"Logically" you could say that the telekinetic field that propels the object contains the alchemist's fire. The vial breaks on impact, but the contents spill uselessly on the floor.

As flickerdart says, by the spell description, even throwing a bladed weapon deals bludeonging damage so fluff-wise, the spell wraps a field of force around an object (for stability or somesuch) and then throws that ball of force at something to deal damage, this causes damage to the item when the forceball ruptures upon impact, causing it to bounce off instead of adding to the damage dealt. A fragile item would break, and might deal it's splash damage (if any), but no more then that.

That's a weird change from 3.5. I probably would run the 3.5 version of Telekinesis, instead.
