[QUOTE="Larrin, post: 4380535, member: 55816"] I would definitely rule against doing this and i can think of many ways to explain why: Game mechanics reasons: 1)the range of the breath is a 3x3 square, with NO way to make this smaller, he can't concentrate it enough to stick any meaningful amount in the bottle. congratulations you have a bottle with a thin gas in it, it deals (1d6+con divided by 64) damage, round down, minimum 0. 2) its an attack, breathing on the bottle attacks the bottle. it either breaks or doesn't but it isn't filled 3)the rules don't state there is any 'actual' acid, therefore there mechanically isn't (pretty weak argument, to be honest) fluffy reasons: 1) none of the other breaths leave residue, neither does acid, think of it as an acidic fire that dies away in a few secounds or a spray that reacts with air and is instantly activated but then decays in a few secounds. In the bottle it would flare up, and then become inert spittle in a rounds worth of time. 2) Dragon breath is magic, you can't hold magic in a bottle...unless you have the brew potion ritual. 3)if this worked, we'd all be doing it, and you could buy it in a store 4)trying to only fill a bottle with your breath will cause the acid to build up in your own mouth, damaging you instead. some of these arguments are better than others, but at least one of those should hold enough water.
