Druidic Alchemist's Atlatl

This weighted, woodshaped atlatl resembles a handheld, lever-controlled catapult. One end sports a shaft covered in carvings of alchemical formulae, and the other is a roughly carved bowl. The whole thing appears to be naturally grown as if it has just been detached from a full-grown tree.

The user can place an alchemical splash weapon, such as a flask of acid or alchemist’s fire, in the bowl. This is a move action that provokes an attack of opportunity. When the splash weapon is launched from the atlatl, its range is doubled. Magic items (including an alchemist’s bombs) aren’t affected by an alchemist’s atlatl.

As a melee weapon, it functions similarly to a Mere Club (pronounced MEH-reh). It cannot be used for melee purposes and for ranged attack purposes in the same round of initiative.

(( still needed: start with a free image of a wooden spoon or ladle with an especially long handle, add proper carvings and texture ))
