Can you Sneak Attack with Bottled Lightning?


Rules Questions


As title, assuming the rogue fulfills conditions for Sneak Attack.

I'm asking because I'm making a low-level rogue for an upcoming session, and I'm trying to make him a bit more useful using alchemical weapons.


If bottled lightening requires an attack roll then yes, but if not then no. The ability has to target AC.

Sure. The prohibition against Flask Rogues is in "throw splash weapon", not in touch attacks. Bottled Lightning is not a thrown splash weapon (and is pretty useless for Alchemists), so there's no prohibition against sneak attacking with it.


Thanks. I wanted to double check and have a quick reference in case it comes up in session.
