Item: Steelscour (Lesser)
Activate 1 Interact or Strike
A viscous acidic goo fills this glass vial, specially designed to eat through metallic objects. You can throw the steelscour as an alchemical bomb, targeting a metal creature or metal object held by a creature. It deals 1d8 persistent acid damage that ignores up to 5 hardness from metal. Steelscour has no effect on living or undead flesh and deals half damage to objects constructed of non-metal materials.
Instead of using steelscour as a bomb, you can pour it on an adjacent unattended metal object with an Interact action, automatically dealing the listed persistent acid damage for 5 rounds with no flat check to end the condition. When used this way, steelscour loses the bomb trait.
Critical Specialisation Effects
Certain effects can grant you benefits when you make a Strike with certain weapons and get a critical success. This is called a critical specialisation effect. The exact effect depends on which weapon group your weapon belongs to, as listed below. You can always decide not to add the critical specialisation effect of your weapon.
Bomb: Increase the radius of the bomb's splash damage (if any) to 10 feet.
