SO, brought up by a player, how many grenades can a Ysoki store in their Cheek Pouch?
1 grenade = 1 L in weight.
Thanks!

Ten.
Ten items at L weight equal one bulk.

Hope they don't get shot in the mouth while doing so. Or accidentally pull a pin while fidgeting...

L bulk is rounded down. There's no difference between 10 L and 11 for weight, so you can go all the way up to 19.

But will 19 grenades fit in 1 cubic foot of space?

My favorite part is you can spit out specific items into your hand.
"Oh, i'm sorry! I thought you said plasma grenade"

Here's a modern US flashbang. As a cylinder 5.25 inches long and 1.73 across, you can hold it fairly easily and it has a volume of around 12.34 cubic inches. A cubic foot is 1728 cubic inches. For volume to be a limiting factor, each grenade would need to be over ~91 cubic inches to shave off the 19th, which gives you an explosive brick that's 4.5 inches per side. That sounds like poor ergonomics to me, which is terrible for a weapon you're supposed to be able to just grab, prime, and throw.

Just remember if carrying 19 grenades in cheek pouches no hot sauce or spicy food for you!

One thing to note flashbangs are big and bulky but basically designed to pitch into the next room or through a nearby window. You have to be pretty close range otherwise the effect wears off before you can breach a room. So they designed for effect not for any long range requirements. If you look at a normal army issues frag grenade they are a lot more ergonomic and fit easily in the palm of your hand. Flash bangs are more like throwing a can of monster energy drink at somebody size wise.

For reference, a Ysoki can fit roughly 39 baseballs in its cheeks.

I don't know about the logistics of this issue, but I find the idea that you can walk around with 19 grenades in your mouth as a ysoki absolutely hilarious.
"Oh crud...I think I just swallowed a pin. Um...guys, you might wanna duck..."
Also, just the visual gag is pretty hilarious.
"Sir, what's in your cheek pouches?"
*muffled* "nothing..."

Touche! Thanks for pointing that out. :-)

For hamsters, cheek pouches go down to their HIPS. So they're not carrying them in their mouth, they're carrying them in pouches accessed via the mouth which reach down the sides of their bodies. Thus: No trouble talking.
One wonders how this would work with the Pull Pin feat ... ;)

Or quickdraw and hit and run.
Run up spit out a gun, cap someone in the knee and run away.

No. Just... no.
I wonder if Serums of Healing can be converted into a chewable form? For the ysoki adventurer on the go.

We though of this 2 but the way it is worded:
"You can only activate a grenade that is ready to be drawn and thrown" So if it isn't in their hand then technically you couldn't do this. I would rule that if it was on a bandolier or so then you could do that.

I had wondered the samne thing. but thinking you bite down on them getting the syrum out.
Also can you use the syrum to use give mouth to mouth to stabilize someone.

fuzzy-face CPR ... that'll give some people nightmares. ;)

I concur. "ready to be drawn and thrown" means not concealed at a minimum. Now, perhaps - if one realizes that Chip the Grenade-Gobbling-Ysoki has a gaggle of grenades stuff in his yap - if the (KAC+8) is beaten via Pull Pin by a large margin of success - say, by 5 or 10, whichever falls under 'difficult but not impossible' in general terms - then the poor bipedal rodent is about to have an incredibly bad day.
By RAW, nah. By Rule of Cool, maybe. ^_^

I like Rule of Cool. We had an idea run up still the pin through it in the mouth run away. Just cause I can. We have someone that wants to be a ysoki operatic that steals everything and shoves it in their mouth, just because they can. In a home campaign I will let some of these shenanigans happens well because EPIC FUN.

Heck yeah!
So Ysoki operative with "Pull the Pin". Captured and hand cuffed. The spits out grenade.....
I'm not sure why people assume that full cheek pouches aren't obvious. 19 grenades in the side of your face isn't 19 well-concealed grenades.

That depends on their sleight of hand modifier. :D
Sleight of mouth?
It's much better to fit 19 grenade arrows.
Arrows are really long, but they are thin, so probably will not fill more than 1 cubic feet, even if they don't fit in a cube of 1 foot per side.
