Promeatean Alchemist question

[Saraphali]

Hello,

So our party is heading into dangerous territory, and i'm planning on making a neat backup. the backup is the progenitor of an insectoid race seeking his own evolutionary path, i've taken the

Preservationist (the jar'ed monsters are failed experiments "children" that didn't make it)

and the

Promethean alchemist (the homunculus companion is a success he wishes to duplicate)

and i noticed that it removes the bomb class feature. meaning no zombie bombs or injector drones... but, it doesn't say anywhere that the bomb class feature is required to produce and learn bomb discoveries. does it allow me to still create specialized explosives and effects or does it require the class feature to deploy those tricks?

why did u make so many posts?

You can, technically, still take bomb discoveries, despite the lack of bombs.

Taking a bomb discovery doesn't help you, however, since you need to have the bomb class feature to use them. You get zero bombs a day, so you can't alter any bombs.

If you gain bombs from another source, however, such as multiclassing with another class's archetype, you should be able to alter those bombs.
