Acid Splash 3e FAQ

Yes. Acid Splash requires a ranged touch attack in D&D 3e, so the caster makes an attack roll against the target's touch Armor Class rather than its normal Armor Class. Armor, shield, and natural armor bonuses normally do not help against the attack, although Dexterity, size, deflection, and other modifiers that apply to touch AC can still protect the target.

No. Acid Splash does not allow a saving throw in D&D 3e. The caster instead makes a ranged touch attack against the target. If the attack hits, the spell can deal 1d3 acid damage; if it misses, no damage is dealt. Spell resistance is a separate defense and can still prevent the 3e version of Acid Splash from affecting a creature.

Yes. Acid Splash is subject to spell resistance in D&D 3e. Hitting the target with the spell's ranged touch attack is therefore not always enough: if the target has spell resistance, the caster must also successfully overcome that resistance for Acid Splash to affect it. This differs from the later D&D 3.5e version, where Acid Splash has Spell Resistance: No.

No. Acid Splash normally deals 1d3 acid damage regardless of the caster's level in D&D 3e. Increasing caster level does not automatically add damage dice or increase the size of the damage die. Caster level does increase the spell's Close range, however, so a higher-level caster can use Acid Splash from farther away.

No. Despite its name, Acid Splash does not deal secondary splash damage when its ranged touch attack misses in D&D 3e. The spell creates one acid projectile and resolves one ranged touch attack. If that attack misses, the spell deals no damage to the intended target and does not automatically damage nearby creatures or spaces.
