A question about alchemical bomb discoveries

[Kster809]

Hi there. I was wondering how stacking bomb effects work. I know that you cannot stack the asterisked effects in the Advanced player's Guide, but you can stack the non asterisked ones. Does this mean that I can stack Smoke Bomb (asterisked) with Madness Bomb?

If so that would be so awesome as a distraction!

Yes, you can stack those. Madness bombs don't really have a direct effect other than decreasing wisdom, but can work in synergy with someone else casting a spell requiring a will-save.

For a more direct effect, consider smoke + confusion bombs.

Isn't confusion asterisked?

Doh! Yup, my bad.
