More Throwables
Enjoy throwing things at your opponents, but disappointed by the lack of variety of thrown items in 5th edition? Never fear! The following list is a collection of throwable items, similar to Holy Water and Alchemist's Fire. All of them can be crafted by a character with access to and proficiency in Alchemist's Supplies.
TABLE NAME
| Item | Cost | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Black powder bomb | 100 GP | 2 lbs. |
| Flash powder bomb | 200 GP | 2 lbs. |
| Lightning in a bottle (flask) | 300 GP | 1 lb. |
| Liquid smoke (vial) | 50 GP | 1 lb. |
Black powder bomb. A ball of exploding powder wrapped up into a ball with a fuse sticking out. As an action, you can throw the bomb at a point you can see within 20 feet of you. All creatures and non-magical objects that aren't being worn or carried within 5 feet of that point must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d6 bludgeoning damage on a failure or half as much on a success. Non-magical objects that aren't being worn or carried have vulnerability to the damage.
Flash powder bomb. A ball of brightly exploding powder wrapped up into a ball with a fuse sticking out. As an action, you can throw the bomb at a point you can see within 20 feet of you. All creatures and within 5 feet of that point must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature is blinded until the end of your next turn.
Lightning in a bottle (flask). A flask with a small bolt of lightning zipping about inside. As an action, you can throw this flask up to 20 feet, shattering it on impact. Make a ranged attack against a creature or object, treating the lightning in a bottle as an improvised weapon. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 lightning damage, and if they are a creature that is not immune to lightning damage they must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is stunned until the start of your next turn.
Liquid smoke (vial). A vial filled with liquid that vaporizes into thick smoke when exposed to air. As an action, you can throw the bomb at a point you can see within 20 feet of you. A thick sphere of smoke with a 10-foot-radius appears centered on that point. The sphere spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. It lasts for one minute or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it.
Variant Rule: Expert Crafting
Characters with expertise in a tool can craft items using that tool at a pace of 100 GP per workweek, rather than 50 GP per workweek.
