Could a rogue disarm a delayed Alchemists bomb?


Rules Questions


As the title says could a rogue disarm a delayed Alchemists bomb? Would the DC be = to the Save DC for the Bomb?


Per RAW, no. That sounds like a reasonable compromise though.
But you can always just back up and hit it with a rock or something...

It depends on how much the players like the person the bomb is attached to.....

Dispel magic can neutralize a delayed bomb, as can a successful Disable Device check (DC equals 10 + the alchemist's level + the alchemist's Intelligence modifier).

Anyone with a decent disable device check can disarm an alchemist bomb.


My only issue is why an alchemist would let you stand there and disable something he's holding?

rogue walks up to alchemist and reaches for the bomb, the alchemist keeps moving his hands and shifting his body to keep it away from the rogue.

I would think a touch attack at least would be needed, and some penalty for using disable device under duress, maybe provoking an attack of opportunity since you have to concentrate on disabling the the bomb.

First, This post is almost a month old, no need to reply to it.

second, he said delayed bomb most likely meaning the alchemist has already put the bomb down somewhere where the intended targets will encounter it.


i was thinking of ready action with a bomb my bad. Just getting reayd to play an alchemist and was checking out rules questions
