Coatings

A list of Coatings in the Alchemy window.

This page is about consumable items listed as Coatings on the Alchemy tab. For a list of Potions, see Potions. For a list of Elixirs, see Elixirs. For a full list of liquid consumables, see Alchemy.

Coatings are Consumables that can apply a variety of effects to equipped weapons that aid in combat for a short period of time. Some coatings apply poisons to deal extra damage, while others improve hit chance, apply Conditions, or impose Disadvantage on the target.

Coatings can be looted, bought from vendors, or crafted with the Alchemy system.

How coatings work

• Coatings can be applied using a  Bonus action to grant an effect to a single equipped weapon set regardless of the weapon type.
• All coatings remain active on the weapon for 10 turns. Only one coating may be applied to a weapon set at a time.
• When dual wielding, coatings are applied to both main hand and off-hand weapons at the same time. Coatings are not applied to both melee and ranged weapons in the same bonus action; each must be applied separately.
• While all coatings can be thrown using the  Throw action, only some are able to inflict the coatings effect on multiple creatures, other coatings simply have no effect if used in such a manner. Using coatings as grenades reduces the effectiveness of the coating, with the effects sometimes having lower resistance checks and both the area created and the effect itself lasting for a far shorter time, usually only 1 turn.
• Dipping, which also uses a Bonus Action, applies an effect which is for all intents and purposes a coating, and is mutually exclusive with other coatings. Dipping can be considered a "free" coating, as it does not require a consumable.
• Coatings do not add flat damage increases to weapon damage. They instead Inflict status effects that deal damage at the end of the afflicted characters turn. Thus multiple applications of the same coating have no additional effect.
  • However, the coating applied by Broodmother's Revenge, and the Dipped in Poison condition applied by dipping your weapon, results in a flat Poison damage increase which takes effect on hit, not at the end of the turn as the below poisons do.
• Poison damage from toxins can be applied multiple times to same character within the same turn, the poison damage from Thisobald's Brewed-Up Bellyglummer cannot.
• Most creatures who are immune to Poison are also immune to following coatings which don't do Poison damage: Basic Poison, Drow Poison, Crawler Mucus, Karabasan's Poison, and Malice. However, this is not always true. For example, Ketheric Thorm is not immune to Crawler Mucus despite his Poison immunity.

How poisons and toxins work as grenades

• When poison or toxin potions are thrown they create a blast of 1.2^{[Needs Verification]} m radius, which may apply the same conditiona as a weapon with the corresponding coating.
• Every thrown toxin also creates a permanent surface of 1.0 m radius that may apply the exact same condition as the blast. Similarly, most poisons also create a cloud of 1.0 m radius that may apply the same condition as the blast, but with possibly different specifications. The only exception is Thisobald's Brewed-Up Bellyglummer which creates neither a cloud nor a surface, just a blast.
• To sum up, each thrown toxin may apply twice the same condition, for example  Purple Worm Toxin, and most thrown poisons may apply two slightly different versions of the respective condition.
• The specifications of the surfaces and conditions are given in the table below.
• If a character fails the save against both conditions, they may receive them both or only one version of them. The one that overwrites the other is listedin the table below in Primality column.
• The DC of the blast in not the character's Spell save DC, even though battle log shows that for calculations. However, the result (which usually do not match the calculations) in battle log do show the correct DC value.
