Bagiennik Nasal Spray Range?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

Hello all,

Sorry to bother but I have been searching for an answer for this for days and have turned up squat.. namely, what is the range on it? All it says is Ranged Touch, and the only thing I have found in regards to it outside of the Bestiary was a post set on something else that just happened to have someone mention the fact that it has no range listed. Any and all information to help resolve this would be very welcome, thank you for your time.


The bagiennik's spray is:

Nasal Burn (Su) wrote:
A bagiennik’s nasal spray deals 1d6 points of fire damage to victims in subsequent rounds after it strikes a target (as per the burn universal monster ability), but it can also cure other maladies. Each round in which a victim takes damage from a bagiennik’s nasal spray, that victim can attempt a DC 17 Fortitude save. If the victim succeeds at this save, it heals 1 point of ability damage to an ability score of its choice. If the result exceeds the DC by 5 or more, the victim can also attempt to remove a single disease or poison currently affecting her as per remove disease or neutralize poison (caster level 7th). If the damage from the bagiennik’s nasal burn is reduced or negated in any way, the victim can’t attempt this special Fortitude save that round. The save DC is Constitution-based.

The equipment rules have this:

Creating New Weapons wrote:
In addition, you choose whether your base weapon is a melee weapon or a ranged weapon. If you choose ranged, you must decide whether the weapon is a projectile weapon or a thrown weapon. A projectile ranged weapon has a 50-foot range increment and uses ammunition, while a thrown ranged weapon has a 10-foot range increment.

While a natural weapon is not an equipment weapon, I think this should apply. I would call it a projectile weapon, so a range increment of 50'.

/cevah

At first, I thought this was a spam ad for some form of nasal spray.


First, thank you for your reply, it has been vexing me that there are some things like this that were never clarified before, and I guess one shouldn't hope for it now, but I am a stubborn old person, so I had to ask lol.

And Secondly..

At first, I thought this was a spam ad for some form of nasal spray.

This had me rolling, mainly because I can see why it would, especially since when I was trying to research the question, Google kept giving me sites for Nasal Sprays lol.

Anyways, thank you very much once again for your input.


Looks like B5 forgot to print the range. You'll have to make something up. The weapon creation rules are as good as anything else, I guess?

Aye, I will talk to the GM once I reach the point that I can switch classes.. make sure we come to an understanding of some sort, though I expect it will be somewhere between 10 and 30' most likely. I mean, something that small probably doesn't have a massive range, though one could argue it is a propelled type of substance, one can also say it acts more like a thrown since it uses the body's own power (listed as a natural attack and not something else is where I come up with that idea). But who knows, he might surprise me lol. And yeah, B5 was not thoroughly proofread it doesn't seem.. and I honestly don't expect them to errata just that one thing. Though I might try to ask just to see.
