• Corrosive Vial. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 30/60 ft., one target. Hit: upon striking the target, the vial will break and release a corrosive liquid that reduces the effectiveness of armor and shields by ?1 AC until it can be repaired. This effect is cumulative the more times the target is struck with vials up to -5. If the target is not wearing armor, or their armor effectiveness has been reduced by -5, the target takes 4 (1d8) acid damage.
