Message: <blockquote data-quote="The_Fan" data-source="post: 2381705" data-attributes="member: 11607">In the Dungeon magazine adventure "The Whispering Cairn" there is a villain named Filge who uses syringes as a delivery system for potions. I asked for help on the systems on the Paizo boards, but...umm...yeah. I don't think I'll be going there for advice again anytime soon. :\Anyway, my idea for how to work a syringe is to make it a melee attack with a -4 penalty (technically an improvised weapon) that deals no damage, but penetrates DR as a piercing weapon that does an amount of damage equal to 1+str. If it would deal damage, then the user can inject the syringe as a free action, activating the spell in the potion as if the creature had imbibed it.The reason I'm wondering about this is because in Filge's lair there is a potion of ghoul touch. Following the standard rules for potions, where the drinker is both the caster and the target, this potion is useless except in an offensive manner. I may be missing something in the rules for ghoul touch though.So what do you think of the possibility of offensive potions?</blockquote>
