Sticky Bomb Question


Rules Questions


Who suffers extra damage 1 round later with Sticky Bomb.

The first sentence seems to imply anyone damaged by the bomb takes damage again one round later. I read it to be that those in splash area would be affected as well.

After the first sentence it only refers to a creature hit by a direct hit. Unless it is only referencing that to clarify that they take only splash damage the following round rather than full direct hit damage.

"Sticky bomb: The effects of the alchemist’s bombs are
persistent and continue to damage creatures for 1 round
after the initial damage. Creatures that take a direct
hit from a sticky bomb take the splash damage 1 round
later. Bombs that have effects that would normally occur
1 round later instead have those effects occur 2 rounds
later. An alchemist must be at least 10th level before
selecting this discovery."

Everyone that is damaged takes splash damage the following round. The section referring to creatures hit directly is there so you don't think they take the explosion damage another round. (That was how it was originally written.)
