Alternatively, you can throw it up to 3/10 meters, shattering it on impact. Each creature within 1 meter of that point must succeed on a Reflex saving throw or be covered in oil.

If a creature covered in oil takes any fire damage before the oil dries (after 1 minute), the target takes an additional 5 fire damage from the burning oil.

You can also pour a flask of oil on the ground to cover a 1-meter square area, provided that the surface is level. If lit, the oil burns for 2 rounds and deals 5 fire damage to any creature that enters the area or ends its turn in the area. A creature can take this damage only once per turn.
