Half-orc Alchemist


Rules Questions


So I am currently making a half orc alchemist bomber. And a few questions came up when making it while using its favored class option.
Alchemist Add +1/2 to the alchemist's bomb damage.

From what I understand the damage this adds gets added to the splash damage from alchemist bombs. But I don't know if it adds to say a thrown alchemist fire. I am assuming it does not bit hoping it does?

I tried finding out about the splash damage but I only found alot of people agreeing that it does work that way but no one explaining why it does. I am guessing it is this part of the bomb text. "Splash damage from an alchemist bomb is always equal to the bomb's minimum damage (so if the bomb would deal 2d6+4 points of fire damage on a direct hit, its splash damage would be 6 points of fire damage)."

Is this correct?


The half orc favored class ability adds to bomb damage, so it only adds to the damage of the alchemists bombs, not splash weapons.

You are correct on how the splash damage works. Anything that adds to the damage of the bombs, increases the splash damage.
