Madness Bomb Clarification


Rules Questions


I was wondering if someone could please explain to me how the Madness bomb works. I have the description here but don't fully grasp it.

Benefit: The alchemist’s bombs do more than sear flesh—they sear the mind. A creature that takes a direct hit from a madness bomb takes damage from the bomb plus 1d4 points of Wisdom damage. Reduce the amount of normal damage dealt by the bomb by 2d6 (so a bomb that would normally deal 6d6+4 points of damage deals 4d6+4 points of damage instead). The amount of Wisdom damage dealt by a madness bomb is reduced by 1 for each madness bomb that hit the target in the past 24 hours, to a minimum of 1 point of Wisdom damage.

Like if I am level 12 how much Wisdom damage would my opponent take? and how do you calculate that? Thanks for your guys' help.

On your first bomb, 1d4. Then 1d4-1. Then 1d4-2. And then 1 from that point onward. The Wisdom damage you do can never be reduced below 1 point.
