Bomb verses energy resistance.


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

1. a 3rd level Grenadier alchemist with an IQ modify of 3 uses his move action to adds an alchemist fire The damage as I understand it is as follows 2d6+3 +d6+3 Because an alchemist add his IQ modifier to splash weapons as well as bombs and the total the total is 15 +9 = 24
2. She threw her bomb at a Babau it has 10 fire resistance.
how do you apply the resistance: 2a 24 -10 for 14 points of damage
because it is one attack. or is it 2b. or is the damage
15 -10 = 5 9-10 =0 total 5

3. the splash damage is 5 2d6+3 since the alchemist fire looses it splash
when added to a bomb.

4. the target get hit with 2 IQ modifiers 1 from the bomb. and one from the alchemist fire. The people with in 5 feet of target only get the 5 damage since the alchemist fire looses its splash ability

5. The alchemist has explosive bomb discovery that sets the target on fire
The target has been hit 3 times and is receiving 3d6 of fire damage per turn do you subtract resistance from all three fires or just once from the total?

as there some where else I can find the answer to my question?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

The fire damage is all applied by the same attack, so fire resistance only applies once to the total damage roll. So it would take 14 points of fire damage.

As for the burning effect, fire resistance is applied to any effect that causes fire damage, so it would apply to each set of 3d6 on a given round.
