The description for diffuse on DFE55 isn’t entirely as clear as one might wish. It would seem listed attacks in DFRPG are few enough that a list can be compiled, especially if we omit spells.

Alchemist’s Fire, thrown at the ground, obviously works. I’m guessing the vial wouldn’t break it it were thrown at most diffuse targets, but what if it were poured unto one?

Does acid only do 2 HP of damage? How about Liquid Ice? (both, again, may need to be poured, or have the bottle tied to a club and smashed unto the target.)

Demon’s Brew should do full damage if the target breathes and isn’t immune to poison... I think.

Swatting with a shield, and any other sort of “wide surface” attack, is 2 HP.
