Rules question for the Plague Bringer Ratfolk Alchemist archetype...
it doesn't seem to be RAW, but I'm wondering if swift alchemy should technically work when applying disease to a weapon using the effects of a plague vial.
Otherwise it always requires a standard action to apply, which seems terribly limiting, especially for higher levels.
Is this just an oversight, am I reading it too literally, or should it always require a standard action?
Swift alchemy doesn't apply to the Plague Vial with the existent rules.
Don't mean to necro a thread here, but I have a related question. How long does a weapon stay diseased? There's no given time before the disease wears off of the weapon, so, I would assume it would last until the Plague Vial effect wears off or you hit someone. This is how poison works, right? That means you could load up 10 arrows, or 2 daggers, or whatever you needed to, ahead of time and they'd still be festering with disease until your vial ran out. Seems like a good way to make people sick without wasting standard actions to do it. Plus you're immune to your own plague vial, so no risk of sickening yourself.
