| − | As a standard action, the bomber can turn one bomb into an area effect and hurl it as a burst with a radius of 10 ft. A bomb used like this cannot hit a creature but still needs an attack toll to target the right area (flat ground is normally AC 5), scattering like a normal [http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/combat#TOC-Throw-Splash-Weapon thrown splash weapon] on a miss. Damage (and other effects) is the same as that of a direct hit with a normal bomb, but each target in the area is allowed a Reflex save (DC 10 + Alchemist's Int bonus + ½ the alchemist's level) for half damage.

Bombers focus more on explosives than most alchemists, developing their ability to build bombs and explosives at the cost of their mastery of mutagens and internal alchemy.
Class Abilities
The bomber has all the class abilities of the alchemist, except as noted below.
Bomb Burst
A bomber causes full bomb damage instead of the normal splash damage. A Reflex saving throw halves this damage as normal. This replaces the mutagen ability. Losing the Mutagen ability makes some discoveries useless.

At 14th level, a bomber can double the splash radius of a thrown bomb.
This replaces the persistent mutagen ability.
