[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 5306765, member: 21076"] I'd probably say the DC will be on the higher end of the scale then with the recent rainy day and the more northerly climate as opposed to an arid desert climate. I tend to think of alchemist's fire as a little like napalm, sort of a gel-ly substance that tend to stick and cling as it burns. So to help account for that, mabye give them two checks to see if they successfully start a forest fire? Give them a check in the first round and then one in the second round it is burning. So they end up with two chances to hit the DC due to the tendency of it to coat and stick to things it hits. If you are so inclined you might even give a slight +2 bonus on the second DC as the first round helped build up more heat and dry out the immediately near brush and such making it a little more likely to catch. Or maybe there is a middle ground where hitting one DC means you've successfully caught some underbrush on fire generating a lot of smoke, but not likely to catch the whole forest on fire while the higher DC if hit does indeed catch the whole forest on fire. Pretty subjective criteria, but maybe it helps give you some ideas on how to handle it. [/QUOTE]
