• If broken, Creates area:  Smokepowder
  •  1 hit point
  • If ignited:
    • 2d6 (2~12) ⁠Fire
      damage (DC 12  Dexterity saving throw to negate)
    • 2d6 (2~12) ⁠Force
      damage
    • The Smokepowder surface becomes a  Fire surface (which immediately inflicts the  Burning condition)

• If dealt any ⁠⁠Fire damage, the barrel explodes. Any other damage type breaks it creating a smokepowder surface.

• On explosion:
  •  AoE: 6 m / 20 ft (Radius)
  • 4d4 + 18 (22~34) ⁠Force
    damage (DC 12  Dexterity saving throw to halve)
  • Automatically Critically Hits objects and environments.

Notes

• The saving throws against the explosion and smokepowder surface ignition share the same DC, but are independent rolls.
• The barrel explodes if thrown or placed onto a fire surface.
• Creatures on the outer edge of the blast radius may take no damage from the smokepowder igniting, but are knocked back and take explosion damage.
• The barrel explodes if thrown near the edge of a fire surface (even if it lands outside it).
• The barrel does not explode if it is thrown well outside a fire surface, but the smokepowder ignites if its area overlaps the fire surface.
• If the barrel impacts sufficiently close to the thrower, it does not explode even if it lands directly on a fire surface, but the smokepowder still ignites.
