Alchemist bombs and Prismati Player trait


Rules Questions

The Exchange

Does the Prismati trait apply to alchemist bombs?

I would imagine that they would be fist sized and similarly shaped, like a potion or an alchemist's fire.

Regional Trait
Prismati Player (Andoran): You’ve grown up playing the confusing game of prismati and throw stones with accuracy and ease. You gain a +1 trait bonus on attack rolls with fistsized rocks or similarly shaped objects, and a +1 trait bonus on concentration checks.

If not, then what is this feat intended for?

Bomb's are "a small vial containing an ounce of liquid catalyst." That sounds like it is about the size and shape of a fist-sized rock to me.


I don't think that the bombs are , by default, shaped like that. The intent i think is for it to be rocks, and anything life halfling skiprocks they may want to introduce at some point.


I would, as a GM allow it. Rocks can vary in shape and I don't see anything game breaking about this trait.


I'd allow it, simply because this exists and provides the effective benefit to bombs (but not to rocks, or baseballs, or shoes - and who throws a shoe? Honestly?).


I would like to know if the Prismate Player trait would apply to sling stones and bullets?

You don't play Prismati with a sling. The bonus applies when you "throw stones", as the first sentence makes clear. If you threw a sling bullet with your hand, that would count.
