Everflowing Aspergillum, for rogue or alchemist?

[TheRamza]

For reference Everflowing aspergillum.

Now my question is, does the touch attack count as a splash weapon? It doesn't say that it does, but it does say a vial's worth of holy water, and a vial of holy water is a splash weapon.

If it's not a splash I'm thinking of getting one for my ninja in pfs. Probably won't get a sneak with it often but even once would be funny enough to me to make it worth it. Besides I need a blunt weapon anyway and it counts as good so it would have standard uses.

If it does count as a splash weapon, and this is the interpretation I feel makes most sense, it would be a handy alchemist tool for undead slaying.

No one knows?

It would indicate if it were a splash weapon because that is a keyword with assigned properties. Instead this is a Ranged Touch attack, a special way the item interacts. You are not throwing the vial to break it, you are flinging the water (like a holy squirt gun, er...fizzy coke prank?).

When you use it normally in combat to strike the opponent you only get the benefit of overcoming DR/good. When you use a full round action you get to dispense a vial's worth of Holy Water at a creature within 10' feet of you. If the vial's worth hits a creature it will splash to adjacent creatures doing 1 point of splash damage. I would rule that any creature outside of the 10' maximum range isn't subject to splash damage though but that is not necessarily RAW.

As ErrantPursuit said it is not a splash weapon attack, based on the game term. There is no splash beyond the primary target.

I respectfully disagree. The weapon doesn't define what the Holy Water does but leave it to refer back to the Water's definition. I would still use the rules for Holy water for the splash damage because tossing a cup full of water at someone would splash at the surrounding people (having seen a person in a bar hit with the contents of a pint before once or twice) and due to the weapon leaving damage and such from the Holy water to refer back to said rules.
