Fun Facts
Acid can be used to destroy locks, doorknobs, and hinges. Especially if it is applied skillfully by someone with the right skills.
Annointum can deal damage to incorporeal creatures while it remains in a container, because the container passes “through” the undead and the dust inside brushes their ectoplasm. The annointum is not used up by doing this, so adventurers often keep satchels of annointum on a rope to use as a poor man’s ‘flail’ against such creatures.
Antidote. Taking alchemical antidote right before an expected encounter with poisonous creatures is smart. Pack as many fights with poisonous creatures into that one hour window as possible.
Healing Elixir can be used to supplement medicine rolls. Soaking bandages in elixir, dripping it onto a freshly sutured or splinted injury, and so forth can all be used to ‘stretch’ or ‘enhance’ medicine checks that would otherwise be difficult to justify. Using healing elixir this way allows a medic to grant a +4 bonus on a total of 10 medicine checks to heal injuries before the potion is used up. A potion used this way can no longer be consumed for an instant burst of healing.
Paintbombs can be used to reveal invisible creatures, or mark creatures in bright colors so they cannot easily hide.
Ritual Salts can be laid out in a line to prevent fiends and undead from crossing. The height of this barrier is 10 feet (it is possible to fly over the barrier they exude). They can be used to block off passages or doorways.
Sacred Water kept in an aspirator can be used to quickly and easily “test” creatures, objects, or places for unholy magic. A fiend or undead creature sprayed in the face will be burned, while cursed or evil items will “sizzle” or react violently.
Smokebombs can block line of sight, which means they can be used to deny enemy spell casters the ability to use “single target” spells that force a saving throw instead of an arete attack roll. Spells like charm, paralyze, petrify, and similar are all useless if the caster cannot establish a clear line of sight with the target.
