Weaknesses to fire / missed alchemist explosive bomb


Rules Questions


An alchemist tosses an explosive bomb at a troll, but misses. The splash damage still hits him, but he does not catch on fire. Is the splash damage enough to trigger the troll's shaken condition due to it's fear of fire?

Could you cite the rules for the fear of fire that you mention? I can't find it in the bestiary entry, which instead says:

Morale: Because of their regenerative abilities, trolls are fearless. Even flames or the presence of acid don’t slow them down—they always fight to the death.


Sure, it's under the Moss Troll

Quote:

Fear of Fire (Ex)

A moss troll is shaken as long as it is within 30 feet of a visible fire or an open flame of at least torch size.

Is the splash within 30 ft and visible: then it is shaken 1 rd.
