New Alchemy Arrows + 1 Flaming longbow = Tangleburn Bags?


GM Discussion

1/5

Hi I have a question (like I always do)

Ok how do you work this situation out?

New tanglefoot bag arrows in alchemical guide - society legal
RAW
This arrow is tipped with a tiny vial of tanglefoot goo. Firing
a tangleshot arrow is a ranged touch attack; the arrow deals
no damage when it hits, but the target is splashed with the
alchemical adhesive. This effect is similar to that of a tanglefoot
bag, but with the following adjustments: Reflex DC 10, Strength
DC 12 to break, 10 points of slashing damage to cut through,
concentration DC 10 to cast spells. A tangleshot arrow imposes
a –1 penalty on attack rolls because of its weight.

Ok

Now what happens whn I shoot a tanglefoot arrow from a +1 Flaming Composite bow?

Does it attack Touch ac?
Does it do 1d6 fire damage?
Does it set the bag on fire and ruin its contents?
(I'd think no so because it never consumes arrows, they still get the %50 recover right?)

What have you rules as the gm? What are the offical rules? anyone know?

Does it attack Touch ac?
yes

Does it do 1d6 fire damage?
yes

Does it set the bag on fire and ruin its contents?
no

Really ought to be a rules forum thread. Nothing in this is PFS specific

So a touch in this case is considered a hit?

And the hit is enough to convey the 1d6 fire damage as well as the bags effects?

Cool

IMO:

It attacks as a touch attack, so it targets touch AC.

Remember that you can turn the Flaming ability on and off. If it is on, the arrow is on fire.

If the Flaming is on, you are firing an arrow that is on fire during the flight. Unfortunately, per the rules for the tanglefoot arrow, it still does not do any damage.

In other words, ETV.

Check out the slow burn arrow--that might get the effect you're looking for.

Yep, seen. i read the rules just after Flite said yes.

No damage (kicks as small rock).
