Master Chymist / Vivisectionist


Rules Questions


Bomb Thrower specifies that the Master Chymist's bomb damage increases with Master Chymist levels. The Vivisectionist gets sneak attack damage instead of bomb damage. Does Bomb Thrower apply to the supposedly equivalent damage of sneak attack, or does it only apply to bombs and I just can't progress as a Chymist?


By RAW, it only applies to bombs and the Vivisectionist is screwed.

In a home game, it'd be a very reasonable houserule to progress Sneak Attack instead.

By RAW, no stacking. MC specifies bombs, which you do not get. Note that bombs are not a req for the Master Chemist, so a vivesectionist can still go into MC.

Many GMs are willing to house rule it to stacking, but you will need to speak to them to get their thoughts.
