    [AD&D 1e] I'm proficient with oil! What does that mean?

    not familiar with OSRIC's actual rules and i'm not very good with rules in general. but normally oil does 1d6 when lit. and splash damage if it misses. you also had to roll a save for the container to break in 1edADnD. iirc, it takes a whole round to prep the oil for throwing and lighting it.

    [4E; Any Edition] Light Sources?

    torch or lantern occupies a hand. important for spellcasting or trying to arm yourself with weapon or shield. torch and oil for the lantern only last so long. i don't make the players tell me when they replace a torch or refill the lantern. but i do keep track of time.
