Universal Solvent

First Post
"if the liquid is carefully distilled to bring it down to one-third of its original volume, each dose (1/3 ounce, having been a full ounce before distillation) dissolves 1 cubic foot of organic or inorganic material, just as if a disintegrate spell had been employed. To find out if a resisting target is affected by this concentrated solution, a touch attack roll is required, and the subject is entitled to a Fortitude saving throw (DC 19)."

My question is would the subject still receive on a successful save the 5d6 damage as per your usual disintegrate spell?

I'm thinking yes... and spell resistance applies but the universal solvent has a standard 20th caster level.

2,000 gp = touch attack (Fort DC 19) death/5d6
With a little distillation work.
A scroll costs 1,650 gp and is only useable by a select few.

I've been trying to think of ways to arm an unhitable monk with a nearly unresistable attack. ;)

It specifies that 1/10th the volume is disintegrated but in all other ways it appears to duplicate a disintegrate spell.

Or are you saying that it would only partially disintegrate a creature if it hit them on a failure? 1 cubic foot wouldn't cover a whole person... they'd just loose an arm or a head. I don't want to have to figure out what happens when an arm or a head get disintegrated.

Bead of force is a comprable price and as a touch attack deals 5d6 damage to a 10 foot radius with the added effect of possibly encapsulating everyone in the area of effect in a sphere of force.

Using that as a guideline I don't see why the universal solvent might not be used as a death/5d6 grenade. Though I might make the distilling process fairly hard.
