Acid Splash question...

[alrik1119]

is Acid Splash effective against swarm creatures?

I think it doesn't, but I might be wrong.
You should simply bring pot of alch fire.

Also, IMO, it should be effective.

No.

It targets a single specific creature, and swarms are immune to that. If you are able to acid splash the spiderling swarms, it's a bug (LOL!)

You need a source of Area Effect damage. Throw your alchemist fire bottles at swarms. Or be an Alchemist (like Jubilost) and throw your bombs at them. Or have a spellcaster nuke it with Burning Hands / Fireball / Cone Of Cold or whatever.

In this game; Yes, effective in that is does some damage. Any elemental damage will hit swarms, but as a few people have pointed out, you're better off with AoE spells, or just Alchemist's Fire / Acid Flasks

A swarm composed of Fine or Diminutive creatures is immune to all weapon damage. Reducing a swarm to 0 hit points or less causes it to break up, though damage taken until that point does not degrade its ability to attack or resist attack. Swarms are never staggered or reduced to a dying state by damage. Also, they cannot be tripped, grappled, or bull rushed, and they cannot grapple an opponent.

A swarm is immune to any spell or effect that targets a specific number of creatures (including single-target spells such as disintegrate), with the exception of mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns, and phantasms) if the swarm has an Intelligence score and a hive mind. A swarm takes half again as much damage (+50%) from spells or effects that affect an area, such as splash weapons and many evocation spells.

Yeah but I don't think it's working as intended because I'm sure later game I just auto attacked Swarms and killed them
