Is Perfect Ice a Throw Splash Weapon?


Rules Questions

The Concordance

The Definition of Throw Splash Weapon says, a Throw Splash Weapon has to have a major target, the splash to nearby creatures, while Perfect Ice can not aim at a target. On this point, Perfect Ice is not a Splash Weapon.
The Description of Perfect Ice says," When a flask of perfect ice is opened or broken (such as by being thrown as a splash weapon)" and it can be launched by Launching Crossbow, which usually can only launch Splash Weapons. On this point, it looks like a Splash Weapon.

This issue is related to some other rules, such as, Can Perfect Ice be mixed in Focusing Flask?

I tend to think Perfect Ice is not a Throw Splash Weapon.


Looks like a splash weapon with some rules exceptions in it's text. What is the issue and why does it matter?


Its a splash weapon with a very special splash effect.

Some PCs wanna mix 3 Perfect Ice into a Focusing Flask, which only affect to splash weapons. .


That's alot of gp on one attack.

The Concordance

Alchemist can create Perfect Ice at 1/3 price, and he use FULL POUCH to create new Perfect Ice.
So the total price is 500gp(Perfect Ice at 1/3) + 700gp or 2PP(Focusing Flask) + 2 2-lv.spell slots.
