(PFS legal please)
By RAw, The Bombard trick uses just BAB, no dex, to roll its to hit. Is there any PFS way legal way to get dex in there? Weapon Finesse? Can you take Skill Focus (Bombard), ie, do tricks count as skills?
How can I make a creature with a low bab but amazing dex actually hit something?

I should have quoted the RAW - Animal Archive, p8
Bombard (DC 20): A flying animal can deliver
projectiles on command, attempting to drop a specified
item that it can carry (often alchemist’s fire or some other
incendiary) on a designated point or opponent, using
its base attack bonus to determine its attack roll. The
animal cannot throw the object, and must be able to fly
directly over the target
Huh.. that is... weird . I hadn't noticed that wording before. I wonder if it was supposed to be a new attack system or if the author was reminding you the critter had a different attack bonus than you.
-Can you take Skill Focus (Bombard), ie, do tricks count as skills?-
That one is a definite no, otherwise a snake could take skill focus: cuddle them to death because it had the combat manuever: grapple trick.
Ouch, Bombard is worded really bad. I'm sure it will eventually get errata'd. Does bombard hit touch AC?

Assuming it's an area effect weapon like an acid flask, I would expect it to follow those targeting rules.
They should have called it "drop" or something, because to me it reads as a 'drop' and that explains to me why only BAB would work.
Remember, if you target a square with an AOE flask type thing, you only need a 5 to hit. Hitting things requires you to hit at least touch AC.
