 Poisoners may harvest acids that are made to burn through organic, metalic, or mineral materials. These substances each have specific uses whether it is to help clear Atlantean locks and traps or to burn wounds to slow an opponent down like a venom.
-**Maybe Acids belong to Alchemy, all of these were discovered by real Alchemists**
+All acids can be used to make an acid bomb.  The acid must be kept in a pottery flask (if the person who carries it falls down, roll DEX check or it will break on him and do damage) and can be thrown up to 50' as a thrown weapon.  If it hits a target, it inflicts 2d4 points of acid damage, and 1d4 acid damage to anyone standing within 5' of the main target.  Additionally, each acid type has a potential damaging effect to target's gear.
-**Ah hah, the answer is simple, Acids belong in both places, it can be 2 things**
-//I could go either way. I like acids with the Poisoner because they are applications that are thematically appropriate for Specialists such as backstabbing and giving a reroll to open an ancient lock or something. If you think this belongs with Alchemy I won't argue though. //
