Am I correct that alchemist's fire and similiar weapons will only deal splash damage to creatures in the same square?

I'm just thinking about rare situations where you have multiple creatures in the same square. If you had for example 3 diminutive creatures starting in single square and managed to hit Creature A with alchemists fire. You would only deal splash damage to creatures B and C even though they're sharing the square correct?


“ A hit deals direct hit damage to the target, and splash damage to all creatures within 5 feet of the target”

You’re correct. Only the target takes full damage. Every other enemy within 5 ft, adjacent or sharing his square, takes splash. The direct damage is sort of the added effect of the initiation of the chemical/magical reaction happening as the glass or whatever breaks on contact with the target
