Caltrops lag my machine like nothing else... especially when about 5 bags get thrown at once. |

Calctrops are great at lower levels, and at higher levels can really annoy the hell out of people who aren't paying attention. Heh, for instance when I am being chased by an angry mob who oddly happens to side with one of those elfie bastards.... I just toss it out, cast grease instantly (heh, a fallen druid) and run like these guys are going to take me up on what I said when I noticed they sided with the elf! (heh, neutral warrior voice set, cuss  )
Hmm, but I think that there need to be 3 strengths to the acid flasks, alchemists fire, and tanglefoot bags. The largest one taking up a 4square slot, ya know? Heh, wait, forget that. Just a regular one and a strong one that takes up 2 slots, like misc thin. It's just that they're worthless after level 4 (excluding tanglefoot) and tanglefoot just needs a larger version with a larger radius of effect, ya know?
With those added they would be perfect! |

how crap are these things, with the exception of the caltrops? i cant believe they dared to describe them as devastating!! there i am sneaking past some spiders, im spotted and i figure ill just hurl this fire flask and they'll all just burn up in the "devastating" flammy affects, to my horror they only take one damamge, leaving me to fight 6 spiders with only my dagger+1. what a jip! |

My favorite one is the Chicken Egg. You throw it and a chicken bounces over to its target and explodes. Not much damage, but funny...  |

Sadly this is so so true! When i read the word devaststing i nearly fell off my chair in laughter! 
Pretty much all of them are useless with the possible exception of the caltrops, and even these are only a mere annoyance! The others do a measly 1 damage to monsters! I hope this will get changed in future updates cos this was a big dissapointment for me!  |
