Breath Weapon Bomb and multiple breaths per round?

Breath Weapon Bomb
Prerequisite: Alchemist 6
Benefit: Instead of drawing the components of, creating, and throwing a bomb, the alchemist can draw the components, drink them, mix them within his body, and then expel them as a breath weapon as a standard action. This breath weapon is a 15-foot cone and has the same DC as the bomb. Each creature within the cone takes damage as if it had suffered a direct hit from the alchemist’s bomb, but succeeding at a Reflex save (DC = 10 + 1/2 the alchemist’s level + the alchemist’s Intelligent modifier) halves the damage. Unlike throwing normal bombs, drawing, drinking, and expelling breath weapon bombs does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Fast Bombs:

Fast Bombs
Prerequisite: Alchemist 8
Benefit: An alchemist with this discovery can quickly create enough bombs to throw more than one in a single round. The alchemist can prepare and throw additional bombs as a full-round action if his base attack bonus is high enough to grant him additional attacks. This functions just like a full-attack with a ranged weapon.

Are breath weapon bombs subject to the Fast bombs discovery, and able to breathe more than one per round? My alchemist gets 2 attacks per round (BAB) and is hasted. If i were throwing regular bombs i could throw 3, so should i be able to Breathe 3 of these too?

I would figure the intent is that this would not work with Fast Bombs, since it gives base bomb damage against multiple foes (which could exceed anything you could do with Fast Bombs, given a big enough crowd). It specifically calls itself out as a standard action, despite that other bomb discoveries do not.

Finally, or firstly, I'd just look at Fast Bombs. It specifically says "throw additional bombs". Breath Weapon Bomb says "drawing, drinking, and expelling". Different terms, different usage, not compatible.

That's the way I would run it, and seems fairly clear-cut by the terminology and intent. Others might differ. Hope this helps.

thanks. It says in the APG that making and throwing a bomb is a standard action.
There would have to be more than 3 for the increased damage to out weigh individual bombs. 3 within a cone like section. which would also get a save for 1/2 damage where i would have to make a pretty easy attack roll against each for full damage, and possible splash damage in that range to others around there.
