Grenade-like Potions

[Quidam]

I've been considering adding grenade-like potions to my game. The first thought was to have cure potions that could be hurled at a target, affecting it on impact. Of course, the same principle could be used for any other potions. The risk'd be that if you miss, the potion (most likely) shatters and is wasted.

What do you think the modified cost of such potions would be?

Gauntlet Potions
Gauntlet Potion may be either imbibed or thrown as a grenade, and you get a different effect depending on how you use it. If drunk, the potions provide protection from a certain type of energy or creature. If thrown, these potions explode as an area effect spell. Note that breaking the potion vial lets loose the spell, so these can be dangerous items to carry around. Potion spell effects function as though cast by a 10th-level caster. Gauntlet potions have a range increment of 10 feet and follow the rules for throwing grenade-like objects (see Player’s Handbook, page 138).
Under the normal rules of magic item creation, you cannot create a potion that stores a spell of 4th level or higher. Thus, the creator of these Gauntlet potion must have both the Brew potion and Craft Wondrous Item feats and use both in the creation of these items, To create potions similar to this, use the following formula; (highest spell’s level X caster level X 50 gp) + (additional spell’s level X caster level X 50 gp X 0.5). The resulting total is the market price of the item.

Sort of...

Except I'm talking about a single-spell potion that is JUST like a normal potion (limited to 4th lvl & below, etc) except that its effects can be triggered externally by self or others as opposed to being only applied/ingested by the user.

Thanks for the help, though!

What I want them for

Like I said, I'm more interested in a cleric who can nail be standing back nailing the Tank in the back of the head every round with cure-grenades. Heck- anyone can do it, all they gotta do is hit the guy with a touch attack, and I'd even rule that he wouldn't get his Dex bonus to his AC as he's not dodging things thrown at him by his friends.

The same could be done with potions of Bull's Strength- you get the picture.

I could see a Potion of Grease.

Really, I don't like the Elemental Prot./Fireball. I had, though devised Suicide Potions. It has an area affect spell, and once drunk, is released, ground zero being the drinker. They get no save.

So basicly they're downing a fireball, and it goes off from inside them.

I like the 'Hurled Potion Benefits' idea. I've always thought you could pour a healing potion into a wound to heal it.
