Discovery combinations


Round 3: Alchemist and Inquisitor


Are we allowed to combine discoveries, such as explosive bomb and force bomb?

Do extracts count as potions, meaning that we can apply extend potion and eternal potion to them?

I think jason stated you couldn't stack energy types for bombs. You have to pick one.

Yes, energy types, but the explosive isn't really an energy type, it increases the splash radius, and then adds additional fire damage. The Force one actually changes the type of damage, so that's part of the dilemma.

My problem is still that the Explosive discovery is restricted to fire damage. I'd personally prefer if it were more general, and added specific benefits based on the chosen damage type; it might also be worth considering to make the damage type choices not cost a discovery.
