Holy water costs 25 gp per flask, which weighs 1 lb. On the equipment list, there is a vial "for ink, potion, or holy water," which weighs 1/10 lb (presumably when filled). So, it seems that 1 flask of holy water can be divided into 10 vials. Now here's my question: if one vial of holy water were thrown at an undead monster, would it do 1d8 hp damage? If so, that means that for a mere 25 gp, an average of 40 hp damage can be inflicted by throwing 10 vials of holy water. That seems excessively powerful to me. So, does a full flask of holy water need to be thrown to do the full 1d8 damage or is a vial sufficient?
