Bomber (Apath)

Unofficial rules compendium

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.

Bada-Boom (Ex)

A bomber has the option to cause 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.

• Cognatogen
• Grand Cognatogen
• Greater Mutagen
• Infuse Mutagen

Big Bada-Boom (Ex)

At 14th level, a bomber can double the splash radius of a thrown bomb. Such an attack is a standard action, irrespective of inventions.

This replaces the persistent mutagen ability.
