Light vegetation (anything but trees) dies within 1 hour and can be cleared at a rate of 10 minutes per 5-foot square (representing uprooting dead plants and breaking stumps into gravel-sized pieces), leaving barren ground.

Massive trees can usually survive being treated with defoliant, and using defoliant doesn't make clearing them any easier.

You can throw a flask of defoliant as a [[splash weapon]] with a range increment of 10 feet, but it is only useful against creatures with the 'plant' type or subtype. This also means this alchemical creation can be fired from a [[Sling (Weapon)|sling]], [[Slingstaff (Weapon)|slingstaff]], or [[Stonebow (Weapon)|stonebow]].

A defoliant flash has no effect on creatures that do not have the type or subtype of 'plant', other than to make them somewhat sticky.

This milky fluid can be mixed with water to quickly kill light and medium vegetation. One flask of defoliant kills light brush and small trees in up to ten 5-foot squares. Light vegetation (anything but trees) dies within 1 hour and can be cleared at a rate of 10 minutes per 5-foot square (representing uprooting dead plants and breaking stumps into gravel-sized pieces), leaving barren ground. Medium vegetation (anything but massive trees) dies in 2 hours and can be cleared at a rate of 1 hour per 5-foot square. Massive trees can usually survive being treated with defoliant, and using defoliant doesn't make clearing them any easier.

You can throw a flask of defoliant as a splash weapon with a range increment of 10 feet, but it is only useful against creatures with the 'plant' type or subtype. This alchemical creation may also be fired as a kind of ammunition from a sling, slingstaff, or stonebow.

A direct hit with a defoliant flask deals 1d6 hit points of desiccation (energy, uncommon) damage and 1 point of Constitution damage to the primary target, assuming it has a type or subtype of 'plant'. Plant creatures within 5 feet of the primary target take half damage from the splash, and suffer no ability damage. A defoliant flash has no effect on creatures that do not have the type or subtype of 'plant', other than to make them somewhat sticky.
