Alchemist Bombs: Range / Range Increment


Advanced Player's Guide Playtest: Final Playtest


The bombs are listed as "range 20'". Is that supposed to be range increment: 20'?
If not, what IS the range increment? (It's crucial for determining how far away it lands when you miss)

20 ft. increment.

Ranges are listed in feet, not squares on a grid. That's 4E.

range increment? good, makes more sense that way.

and since thrown weapons have a max range of 3xincrement, that makes the throw 60 feet.

A thrown weapon has a maximum range of five range increments.

A hundred feet even :)

Thanks Morgen, that wasn't my confusion (I was assuming it was in feet),

but whether it was supposed to be (/should be amended to be) Range INCREMENT 20' or if the maximal Range was indeed 20'.
(Usually the only thing we see described like this are Spells.)

I'll be assuming it is Range Increment, as it just works out better that way.
(and even I myself can throw most things further than 20' without undue effort)

A change I missed.
