Acid

Item Details​

Weight: 1 lb.
Cost: 25 GP
Category: Consumable / Thrown Weapon
Damage: 2d6 Acid damage
Range: 20 feet

Description​

A vial of acid contains a highly corrosive liquid that can eat through metal, stone, and flesh with equal efficiency. This dangerous substance is contained in a specially treated glass vial that can withstand the acid's corrosive properties until thrown.

Usage​

When you take the Attack action, you can replace one of your attacks with throwing a vial of Acid. Target one creature or object you can see within 20 feet of yourself. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw (DC 8 plus your Dexterity modifier and Proficiency Bonus) or take 2d6 Acid damage.

Combat Applications​

  • Direct Attack: Effective against creatures vulnerable to acid damage
  • Object Destruction: Can damage or destroy equipment and barriers
  • Area Denial: Spilled acid creates hazardous terrain
  • Utility: Can be used to etch markings or destroy locks over time

Tactical Considerations​

  • Single Use: Each vial can only be thrown once
  • Saving Throw: Agile targets may avoid the damage entirely
  • Splash Effect: May damage nearby objects or surfaces
  • Storage: Requires careful handling to avoid accidental breakage

Environmental Effects​

Acid can corrode metal objects, etch stone surfaces, and destroy organic materials. It's particularly effective against objects made of common metals, though magical items typically resist its effects.
