-* While it can be thrown as an action, the barrel does not explode when used this way – It has to be ignited to deal damage.
+* This barrel can be thrown as an action, but will not detonate unless reduced to 0hp by the throw or deliberately ignited through other means.
-**However, the barrel has 4HP. If depleted with throw it will explode.
 *If the barrel and the [[Runepowder Vial]] are stolen before engaging in dialogue, Philomeen will turn hostile. This can be circumvented by engaging her in dialogue with 1 party member and have another steal only the barrel, then only steal the vial after she mentions it in dialogue, stealing it before will turn her hostile.
-*It's imperative to stress the huge explosion radius of '''~60 ft.''' Exercise extreme caution when detonating.
+*An ignited runepowder barrel produces an explosion with an enormous blast radius of '''~60 ft.''' Exercise extreme caution, especially in Honor Mode.
+**An active Globe of Invulnerability spell will completely negate damage from an exploding Runepowder Barrel, even a directly-adjacent one. This can be used to great effect in many fights, provided one is willing to spend both a barrel and a scroll/spell slot and ensures that any nearby party members, especially the Globe's caster, are within the spell's area-of-effect.
