I wish I had bane in my spell list now that I read it... It would really help out on the suck or saves. Anyways angus you could probably attach the oil to a javelin and throw it.
U can light it on my turn which should bur. For two rounds for a total of 15 flat damage.
I have a question, and this is something I always ask gor small characters.
If I am in threatening range of an enemy, and an allyunit is nearby. If I move i to the allys area and out of it, Do I get 3/4s or full cover from the attack of opportunity.
