So its going to do your bomb damage and then smoke, but you can't combine it with Strafe.</p>Yea I guess you can't stack smoke with anything.

I.E you can't have an Immolation Stink Bomb or a Cold Force Bomb or anything like that. </p>
<p>Edit: Disregard. Strafe doesn't have one of the asterisky effects, I thought it did.</p>It says somewhere on the Discoveries page that Bomb mods don't mix. I.E you can't have an Immolation Stink Bomb or a Cold Force Bomb or anything like that.

Hope all goes well for my alchemist. She seems to be a favorite to be attacked. XD almost thinking of getting a feat to wear heavy armor. : P Be a damn tank, lol.</p>Thanks mates.

This came up in a PFS game I was hosting and I ruled it smoke etc doesn't work with strafe. Strafe says you don't have a radius, smoke fills twice your radius~smoke fills nothing. </p>

If the space occupied by your target still falls in the splash zone then he takes damage. Strafe is just a line from you.</p>
<p>As for the OP:
<br />
Read the details of the bombs.</p>
<p>1. You would double the line on each side of smoke is the only reasonable explanation. So it would be a 5 ft line of damage and then 5 ft on each side of smoke.</p>
<p>2. Immolation would only burn targets that get hit with the line you make.</p>
<p>3. Just read the rules on not being able to see in the PHB. There are rules detailed in there about this stuff. A lot of it is roleplaying, but you can even know invisible creatures are in the room with you by passing a simple perception check to "feel their presence".</p>Thats stupid and your GM is wrong LeeRoy.

The gm i play organized society with says that it doesn't make sense that if i miss my direct target with the strafe bomb, the direct target doesn't take splash damage either. Any official ruling in this, do ya know?</p>I'm not sure I can give ya much help with those, but I also have a question about the strafe bombs.

I'd like anyone's input.</p>
<p>1. How would cloud effects (smoke bomb, stink bomb) affect an area with strafe bomb? I guess it would do it's effect based on regular bomb radius and only the splash?</p>
<p>2. How would immolation bomb work with strafe bomb? I guess one logical scenario would deal strafe splash for the first turn, and the adjacent splash around the target for the subsequent turns; but what if it has no target? It seems reasonable to have it maintain it's line effect (possibly even if it had a target) over all active turns. It would be similar effect to.</p>
<p>3. I was also wondering more on the mechanical details of fog cloud.
<br />
Can creatures immersed in fog clouds perform attacks(particularly ranged attacks)? Could a character/monster attack targets in a fog via their sound (with some sort of penalty)?</p>
<p>How do Players role play their characters moving in a fog when the players can see where all the other PC/NPCs are, but not the player's character?</p>I'm kinda wondering some specifics regarding the Alchemist's Strafe Bomb. I'd like anyone's input.
