[QUOTE="asnys, post: 3078414, member: 29974"] It is basically a sling that hurls alchemical weapons. Changes the range increment to 50'; a considerable improvement. I am trying to use 3.5, but I have access to basically no material other than d20SRD.org. Thanks for the help. I will certainly post the character once it is done up. The basic idea is the old rogue sneak-attacker, only using alchemical fire instead of daggers, thereby making up for the rogue's lower BAB as compared to a fighter (since splash weapons are only a touch attack). It takes quite a few levels for the build to start looking like a grenadier. At low levels, alchemical fire is so expensive that it has to be restricted to worthwhile targets, not to mention needing levels to build up your ranged attack feats and sneak attack. An alternative I am considering would be just going with fighter alone, and cranking out the ranged attack feats. It would be more feat-intensive than traditional archery, but it has slightly better damage, and you only need a touch attack to hit. Any input would be appreciated! :) [/QUOTE]
