Right?I would think that a x-bow bolt hitting a target would provide much more force than a toss to the ground since the bolt is moving fairly rapidly. "...a solid surface" so....... are grassy fields considered solid? Grassy fields can be fairly giving. As giving as flesh? Maybe not. Flesh suurrounded by armor? I would say yes. Regardless...I'd rule that the force applied to the AF in the jar (from the negative acceleration when the bolt stops moving rapidly) would be at least equal to the force of being tossed onto a solid surface. Which would cause the AF to expand.Even if the jar or bead or whatever didn't break from impact, wouldn't the expanding AF put so much pressure on the inside of the container that it would break?From that point, it's just a question of how quickly the AF expands to determine exactly when the struck enemy gets hurt. Since AF ignites upon contact with air, some, even if a reduced, amount of damage should be delt in that round.I know, DnD isn't high school physics, but this works within the rules, right? Or can shrunk jars hold compressed O2 suitable for S.C.U.B.A. diving because it's "magic"?Afterthought: he can pour the shrunken AF into a regular size AF jar and not have to worry about the magically-time-stasised-jar-of-AF so that it would break naturally. Right?</blockquote>
