This is NOT 1E with its emphasis on tables.Right, because every high-level character would risk an AoO from his melee +20 opponent to throw some salt in his face. Apart from the fact that you wouldn't reach the face of half of the monsters at that CR in the first place.Huh? Why should different DMs come to that conclusion when somebody wants to THROW (thrown weapon) something into somebody's face? Do you ask for a Dex check when somebody throws a flask of acid, or holy water? Would you seriously expect some "different GM" ask for it? We ARE talking 3E still, right? Just to make sure.And where are the guidelines for "balance" for 4E that demand throwing salt being a 1/day ability? Didn't find any last time I checked. We're all just blowing smoke here, so trying to make yours nicer colored is not helping.You might be be surprised, but Attack Rolls are a pretty unified mechanic as well, even the ranged touch ones. I'm not sure I see your point. If you would like to enlighten me, point out the other different 3E mechanisms that exist for throwing something at somebody, or your reasoning why you expect DMs to rule hither and yon in 3E.Edit: But to amend this a bit...you could also rule the handful of salt as an improvised throwing weapon (-4 to attack) and that after a certain size of eye, the blinding won't work anymore. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
