That was then. Fast forward almost 5 years and...
Q: **Can you use Explosive Rounds to trick attack Swarms?**
Background:
Now we have Explosive, Rounds, Small Arms
( https://aonsrd.com/WeaponDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Rounds,%20Small%20Arms&F amily=Explosive )
which has the Fiery Property
( https://aonsrd.com/WeaponProperties.aspx?ItemName=Fiery )
Which says it "counts as a weapon with the explode special property against creatures with swarm defenses"
And Swarm Defense
( https://aonsrd.com/UniversalMonsterRules.aspx?ItemName=Swarm%20Defenses )
Says "A swarm takes half again as much damage (+50%) from effects that affect all targets in an area, such as grenades, blast and explode weapons, and many evocation spells."
The Power gamer in me says "yes you can trick attack and get and extra 50% damage on all of it as well."
The "I'm in this for Fun Gamer" in me want to verify my assumptions.
Thx :-)
