Acid Splash 3.5e FAQ

Yes. Acid Splash requires a ranged touch attack in D&D 3.5e, so the caster rolls against the target's touch Armor Class rather than its normal Armor Class. Armor, shield, and natural armor bonuses do not apply to touch AC, while modifiers such as Dexterity, size, deflection, dodge, cover, and other applicable defenses can still matter. Acid Splash is therefore often easier to land against heavily armored creatures, but it is never an automatic hit.

No. Acid Splash does not allow a saving throw in D&D 3.5e. The caster instead makes a ranged touch attack against the target's touch Armor Class. A successful attack deals 1d3 acid damage and a missed attack deals no damage; there is no Fortitude, Reflex, or Will save for half damage or to negate the spell. Other defenses, such as touch AC, cover, concealment, and resistance or immunity to acid, can still matter.

No. Acid Splash has Spell Resistance: No in D&D 3.5e. A caster does not make a caster level check to overcome spell resistance when using Acid Splash, although the ranged touch attack must still hit and other defenses such as resistance or immunity to acid can still reduce or prevent the damage. This is also an edition-specific rule: the earlier 3e version of Acid Splash was subject to spell resistance.

No. Acid Splash normally deals 1d3 acid damage regardless of caster level. Its damage does not scale automatically. Its range does scale, however, because the spell uses Close range: 25 feet plus 5 feet for every two caster levels.

Yes. Acid Splash can damage most objects in D&D 3.5e. The spell is not restricted to creature targets, and the object-damage rules allow acid attacks to deal damage to most objects normally after a successful hit. The object's hardness is then subtracted from the damage before any remaining damage is removed from its hit points, so the spell's small 1d3 damage often cannot harm durable materials at all.
