Hybridization Funnel: One or two hits?


Rules Questions


3 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

The Hybridization funnel creates a mixture of two splash weapons. When thrown, "Creatures are affected as if hit by both".

How does that work with PBS and the Alchemist's damage bonus? It seems to me that PBS should only apply once, but the Alchemist ability twice. Opinions?

The Exchange

Sounds correct to me, except there is the problem of what damage type the PBS applys too... If the H.F. was a mix of Fire and Acid - is the extra point fire or acid damage?


I'd say both apply only once because the mixture is one splash weapon. Extra dice damage, not extra bonuses.

I'd say the thrower decides what type the bonuses are. (i.e. they're the most beneficial)

The Exchange

I think PBS should only apply once, due to it being a single attack role.

Similarly, Alchemists bonus INT from Throw Anything should only apply once due to the single splash weapon.

Previously I had a question about Grenadier's Alchemical Weapon (move action applied to weapon) w/ hybridization funnel so two alchemical products are applied & Explosive Missle Discovery (applies bomb to weapon and fires as standard action). My oridinal thinking was 3x INT damage with this but the consensus turned out to be single INT due to one attack and one total effect on the enemy.

BTW, Extract Targeted Bomb Admixture would add 2x INT w/ no splash, which Alchemical Weapon takes away anyways.
