If you were to light a Desnan candle (Adventurer's Armory) and then drop it in that square, what would occur? Supposedly it continues to fire off, but as it is a ranged touch attack, what bonus would be assigned?
RAW, I guess it somehow ceases to fire without a controller, but I don't think that's the intention.
This may or may not have something to do with upwards of 30 candles being lit in the near future in a crowded theater in a 6-round span of time…

Supposedly it continues to fire off, but as it is a ranged touch attack, what bonus would be assigned?None. It might accidentally hit someone, but probably only once out of a hundred times.

- I doubt they look like candles. It's firework, this won't happen by accident.
- Uncontrolled pyrotechnics in a theatre = fire. Fire in a theatre = burning theatre + panic. Panic = deaths + burning theatre = disaster, with potentially a large part of a city going up in flames.
You should read up on some of the punishments that have been inflicted on people who started fires in cities. It's... illuminating.

This is sort of the intent. I'm the GM, and the firework-lighters are a group of goblins intending on causing chaos. All part of my "extended-cut" version of RotRL.
