Apr 15, 2009 18:59:08 Two new players are joining the group. One is a artificer/master alchemist/alchemical savant... the other wants to build a 'support' character for that one... they want to specialize in throwing alchemical items.

Fighter/Master Thrower seems like an obvious possibility, or Exotic Weapon Master of the Gnomish Calculus.

Feats like 'Grenadier', 'Mad Alchemist', and 'Shape Splash' (Strongheart halfling being optimal in that case) seem in order...

Any other suggestions? Dungeoncrashing Master Thrower? Something else?

Apr 15, 2009 19:15:20 I just have to add, that a simpler way is just have the artificer's homunculus do it. There's one in Magic of Eberron that is essentially a chest crossed with a pitching machine. Just have him take improved homunculus.

Apr 16, 2009 14:49:09 The create/conjure potion spell from the spell compedium.

Or three times better Shalantha's Delicate Disk spell from Lost Empires Of Faerun. Just say they are bottle shaped instead of disk shaped. Certainly helps with buffs, and bombs.
