Molotov Cocktail

Explosive

Common

Craftable: Can be crafted by anyone with the following ingredients: A flask of oil, a small piece of cloth, and a flame source.
Ignition: The molotov rag must be set alight first before usage. If there is a present fire source, lighting it takes a bonus action. The item must be thrown at the end of your next turn. Make an improvised weapon attack at a creature. If it hits, they take 1D4 bludgeoning damage. If the attack misses, the fire just lands on their square and deals 5 points of fire damage.

Molotovs are a very simple yet effective ranged weapon. It is simply a bottle of oil with a burning rag attached to it. In order to be used, the rag of the molotov must be set alight first. After landing on a surface, the container will break, releasing the oil and fire onto the ground. If they fail to throw the molotov by the end of their next turn past ignition, they will take 5 points of fire damage(once).
