If alchemist has archetype Aquachymist – is it possible to elongate the range increment of bomb traveling above the water?

Because of the strange aquadynamic features of the aquachymist’s underwater bombs, they have a range increment of only 5 feet above the water.

Does it mean, that the base range increment is 5 feet, but it can be prolonged by other bonuses?

possible bonuses:

Longshot: +10 feet (untyped)
Bomber’s Eye: +10 feet (untyped)
Bombchucker: +10 feet (untyped)
Strong Arm, Supple Wrist: +10 feet (untyped)
Bomb Launcher: increasing to 30 feet (70 for rocket bomb)


Is there anobody else who finds it confusing and would like to know correct answer?


Those ranges are unaffected by whether the bomb is below or above the surface. They are simply added to the range increment of whichever you are currently using.


This archetype gave me a bit of the "jumping the ten foot pit" confusion. If the aquachymist only has a range of 5', then anything he throws in that range (above water) would put him inside the splash damage.

In other words, is he throwing into the adjacent square or the next one out?
