Message: <blockquote data-quote="RuminDange" data-source="post: 2143648" data-attributes="member: 5412">Very true if used as normal dust is used.  The idea of the cursed dust is believing it to be one of the more useful sorts and tossing it into the air to activating it as in this case of using dust of appearance, which the S&C dust tends to be identified as.  Now dust of appearance is not a dust you would use on yourself but on an area to make invisible targets appear right?  See how it tends to be stored?  That means tossing the open packet or blowing the dust out of a tube means the activator doesn't necessarily get caught by it, except the S&C dust covers a 20 ft spread as opposed to the 10 foot radius of the dust of appearance which means the person unknownly could get caught in it as well as others it was not intended for.  Emphasis mine.However if you know it to be the cursed kind you could fly over head and drop the open dust packet on a target area or launch it like a grenage to throw the packet into a square near the target to mark the center of the area of effect or even blow it from the tube into the area in which you will not be caught the area of effect when it spreads out, but not sure if RAW is clear how that is possible off the top of my head but that's why we DM's have to make on the fly calls at times right?So I'm not convinced that someone who knows what the dust is would always get caught by it when they used it.RD</blockquote>
