Throwable torch/lantern

[MidnightBlues]

How about throwable torches or lanterns that put the ennemy on fire? It would give an additionnal (and obvious!) utility to an item that almost became uninteresting because of rings, spells and amulets of light.

Vote yes, so we can do like Aragorn and throw our toches at wraiths running away!

''Oh gods, I never about throwing my torch at monsters running away! Time to stop gluing it on my hand!''

Torch items with 1 use alchemist fire. The alchemist fire charge will do 1d4 fire damage and consume the torch.

It is good for in-game mechanical reasons, but it is not logical at all. Why I shouldn't throw that wood stick with one of its tip on fire with a piece of cloth soaked of oil, especially in desperate moments? It's also quite costly, 24 gp for 1d4 damage. Not tempting at all for someone who begins. Creativty shouldn't penalize so much.

Then the only other thing I can think of is a torch that casts lvl 1 flare. Thats still going to cost more than 3 gp.

Would be cool to have more things like these. Throwing torches, javelins, etc... Likely would have to be scripted though!

A torch that has a 1 use alchemist's fire option seems like the most likely solution to this, but with the sheer abundance of alchemist fire, why bother?

[MidnightBlues]

Okay, so a torch that casts a flare spell once and disappears afterwards, how about that?  The goal would be to give another utility to the torch. ''What would make it different from alchemist fire then?'' Well, the alchemist fire can be used to give fire damage to weapons, whilst the torch is used to brighten up the area. (Kinda obvious, y'know? :P)

EDIT : oooh sorry I have misread the posts above. I thought you meant applying an alchemist fire on a torch. (It would have to be a weapon in that case, but anyway!)

Unfortunately this is a pretty minute thing that would take more effort than it is worth to implement.
