	2. Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------

This mod adds new potions to that game that can be wielded as weapons that shatter upon impact, dealing huge area damage of a chosen element and inflicting certain effects upon the targets. They may also be thrown at a target by aiming at them, holding block and pressing the 'v' key. If an enemy hits you while you are blocking with the potion it'll explode in your face. These potions are scattered across the land of cyrodiil in alchemist's shops everywhere. One alchemist from each town except Kvatch sells these potions. In the Imperial City, they are sold at the Guilded Carafe, the Main Ingredient, and by Julienne Fanis at the Arcane Univercity Lustratorium. Each type of explosion potions have different effects and come in five levels of price and power.

	- Fire Bottles: These powerful bottles deal large amounts of damage on 
			contact as well as cause enemies to burn for a duration.

	- Frost Bottles: These frigid weapons freezes enemies for a duration as 				 well as deal frost damage over time.

	- Poison Bombs: These noxious missles poisons enemies as well as causes 				fatigue damage over time. They also create gas clouds 
			that can poison anyone who enters it. For best effect 		
			use with my poison spells mod here: http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=OblivionMods.Detail&id=1786

	- Flashbombs: These bottles deal instant lightning damage in a small area 
		      upon impact. It lights up the area for a second and then
		      blinds everything that is looking in its direction for a 		    		      duration, and deal extra damage on the undead. (Inspired by 
		      Thief series) The blinding is not hostile so perfect for
		      thieves. Recommended - Light Recolor by acidrain226:

		      use the White light setting.

* Potions do not work in water. Whether you are underwater or if it just lands onto water, it won't work.

If you want to test the potions out right away, type "coc hawkhaven" into the console and look for a chest next under a house at the blacksmith's end of the town.

For more throwing action look for the Throwing Stars mod with many more items including throwing knives, darts, axes, and stars by the very talented GuidoBot10101. Find it here: http://www.guidobot.com/

	3. Version History
-----------------------------------------------------------------

* 1.0 - Release
* 1.1 - Fixed a bug where alchemists are not selling the potions because they don't sell weapons.
* 1.2 - (Hopefully) fixed "exploding in your face" bug.
* 1.3 - Misc script tweaks and increased shop stock.
* 1.4 - Really fixed the early explosion bug with a quest script.
* 1.5 - Added an alternate glass break sound. Also tweaked the original sound.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
	4. Known issues and Compatibility
-----------------------------------------------------------------

* There are mesh clipping problems in vanity camera and when potions are sheathed. Not important but any help appreciated.
* The throwing mechanism only works if your block key is a mouse key and not a keyboard key.
* Don't throw another potion while one is still in the air. The potions fall very quickly so usually, by the time you take another out it'll be very close to hitting the target already. You can still melee attack with it anytime though.
* If you're running forward while throwing the potion, it can blow up in your face. Moving anyother direction is alright. You've been warned.
* This will have a very small possible incompatibility since I had to change the alchemists to sell weapons but it is very insignificant and as long as you load it after mods that edit them like OOO, you won't notice a thing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
	5. Future Plans
-----------------------------------------------------------------

* Allow the creation of the potions with ingredients.
* Allow applying potions to weapons like poisons.
* Make more lines of explosive potions. (If I get more ideas)
