[QUOTE="billd91, post: 4138136, member: 3400"] My responses to this: Digging out a handful of sand/salt is a lot like digging out a potion or some other item. Check the table for actions for "Retrieve a stored item". AoO is indicated. Surely that will go a long way toward making sure it's not used constantly. Why [i][b]should[/b][/i] it scale at all? Is the salt getting more irritating because the PC throwing it is a higher level? Besides, as the PC fights tougher opponents, the tactic becomes naturally less useful, another reason it surely won't be used constantly. Compare to the 4e universal mechanic. If it's a Dex attack vs reflex (or fort), there's no AoO, and the saving throw to shrug off the effect is the standard 10+, the tactic always keeps the same effectiveness (possibly more than 1d4 rounds if the DM rolls the saves poorly). Why would everyone not use it constantly in 4e? [/QUOTE]
