Alchemist land mines do full damage?

So for the Trap Breaker archetype for alchemist, you can turn your bombs into landmines. they're mechanical traps and people set them off by going into the square. now it says you put your bomb into the trap, so does that mean the thing that sets it off is 'hit' by the mine, or does the mine ONLY do splash damage? it already costs two bombs to put down a mine, so it seems pretty bad if you dont get the full effects. anyone know?


Which book is this from?

Yeah, sorry, just figured out how to do that.


if your bombs do 6d6+6 when you create the trap, then yes you do 6d6+6.

I think they do both, if you trigger it you get hit by the full bomb and anyone in splash range gets hit by splash damage.

I'm not positive about this but the only thing I see about what it does is the line where it says that "the effects of this bomb are immediately transferred to the mine".

That is what I thought. I just wanted to make sure. I always like to get a second opinion, I hate cheating, unintentionally or not. Thanks!


I would agree that it would act as if the bomb had hit whoever steps on the mine.

I had not heard of this archetype previously. Thanks.
