Splash Weapons

[poundpuppy30]

Do splash weapons have the ability to crit? I was reading the alchemist page and they mention that you can't add their bomb increase to the critical of a bomb they throw so I had to come here and check if splash weapons crit to begin with because i thought they didn't?

The alchemists bombs are weapons and have a Nat 20 crit and X2 damage like spells. Can you quote the section your specifically talking about?

"On a direct hit, an alchemist’s
bomb inf licts 1d6 points of fire damage + additional
damage equal to the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier. The
damage of an alchemist’s bomb increases by 1d6 points at
every odd-numbered alchemist level (this bonus damage is
not multiplied on a critical hit or by using feats such as Vital
Strike)." on pg. 28 advanced players guide

If it requires an attack roll and deals hit point damage, it can crit; this includes splash weapons and touch spells.

[Wynd Sister]

On a bomb crit, only the original 1d6 plus INT bonus is multiplied. The bonus damage applied (additional d6s at odd levels) is specifically excluded in the description of the class feature.

Yup. Just learned that recently myself.
