As stated earlier, from the SRD, Alchemist's Fire doesn't deal your strength bonus to damage because it's a splash weapon.First off, flavor aspects should NEVER be a balancing factor. Ever. Some people play with flavor, others don't- so their games should still be balanced.As for the Throwing Scarab, even if people look down on symbionts (which, I agree, they should), this particular Symbiont isn't limited by that at all- something like a Tentacle Whip or a Living Breastplate or a Crawling Gauntlet are obvious and nasty, but the Throwing Scarab isn't. The Throwing Scarab, when not being used, looks like a piece of jewelry. It's the cheapest Symbiont, as well as the easiest to conceal.Making it more expensive could be a good idea, but a Daelkyr Half-Blood starts with one Symbiont (that is, either a Crawling Gauntlet, a Breed Leech, or a Throwing Scarab) for free. So really, I think it should just be made less powerful, is all.</blockquote>
