The adjacent enemy is not attacked separately. The splash damage is a secondary result of successfully hitting the primary target.

If the primary attack misses, the power deals no primary or splash damage.

Range and Targeting

Acid Splash is a Ranged 10 power. The caster chooses one creature within 10 squares as the primary target and makes the normal attack against that creature’s Reflex defense.

The splash effect can only occur after the primary target has been hit. The caster can then choose one enemy adjacent to that target.

The secondary enemy does not need to be attacked separately because the splash damage is part of the successful primary hit rather than another attack.

If there is no eligible adjacent enemy, Acid Splash still deals its normal primary damage. The splash portion is simply unused.

D&D Portal Conversion Notes

Acid Splash was not officially published as a spell or attack power D&D Portal - Attack Roll Combat rule Attack Roll is a combat rule used by attacks, damage, defenses, or turn order. Full link: https://dnd-portal.com/rules/combat/attack-roll/ for D&D 4e. This page therefore presents a D&D Portal conversion rather than historical official content.

The conversion uses a level 1 At-Will Attack structure because that is the normal 4e framework for reusable offensive class powers available from the beginning of play.

The ranged touch attack D&D Portal - Attack Roll Combat rule Attack Roll is a combat rule used by attacks, damage, defenses, or turn order. Full link: https://dnd-portal.com/rules/combat/attack-roll/ used by earlier editions has been converted into an attack against Reflex, allowing the power to use the normal 4e attack-versus-defense system.

The adjacent splash damage is an original D&D Portal conversion mechanic intended to give the spell a distinct battlefield role while preserving the Acid Splash identity.

The conversion is not considered a ranged basic attack. That distinction helps separate Acid Splash from the official Sorcerer D&D Portal - Sorcerer Character class A Charisma-based known-spell full caster whose Sorcery Points and Metamagic reshape spells in ways other casters cannot.
