UPDATE**** Never mind, after reading the rules on lamp oil, its all there. Go figure..... I still want to know about coating a sword in oil and lighting it on fire though.
What are the rules on using a pint of oil on an enemy. Can you splash it on them? Can you throw the bottle at them? Will the bottle break if you splash it on them.
Can you throw a pint of on someone and then light them with a torch in the other hand? What types of actions would that be?
If the pint of oil and torch are already in your hand, I would think it was be a standard action to throw it, and a move action to light it?
Would splashing someone with a pint of oil be a touch attack?
Could I cover a sword in oil and light it on fire.
I've done all of these actions before, but no one ever really knew any rules for them, we just made it up on the spot because it seemed hilarious or awesome at the time.

You're in much closer contact with the oil-dripping sword than anyone you hit with it. Without magical protection, I think 1d3 fire to you and 1 point fire to your enemy. It lasts for the round when you light it and the following round. You might get a bonus to intimidate non-warriors (or fascinate goblins) from witnessing your sheer lunacy.

Then that goes quite will with my crazed barbarian.
I think it's cool and wouldn't punish you for doing something like that. I'd say: Move action to coat, standard to both coat and light if you have a tindertwig. Burns for two rounds. 1 fire damage (like a torch) to hit enemies.
As long as you've got some leather gloves or whatever you should be cool. Seriously, no way you're going to take 1d3 damage per round from holding that if you've got regular gloves. Two rounds would be enough to put the average guy to dying.
