I was really hoping the Alchemists bombs would be more versatile and at least have a Healing Bomb, like Ana's Healing/Poison Grenade from Overwatch.

Am I missing something or is there no way to do this with the Alchemist class unless you homebrew it?

I have no idea as I do not play Overwatch but I wanted to comment as I love the idea of beneficial bombs! Probably not allowed due to the weirdness of attacking your own friends but it sounds cool

I don't play, but I do meme so I'm a little more familiar with what he's talking about.

A bomb that healed allies but damaged undead, that would be fun and interesting.

An "antidote" you administer to allies ahead of time gives them a buff when exposed to a particular poison instead of being harmed. Too bad those goblins didn't also take that antidote. . . Or did they?

Finally, an alchemical eyedrop that gives you a bonus against blindness and a blinding flare bomb that the PC's are ready for. So they'd roll their save twice and take the better result with a critical success granting an additional bonus.

The sky's the limit. Currently, there's nothing cool like this in the content available, but nothing says you can't start making your own content today!

Basically the Heal/Poison bomb would work the same way as the Cleric's Channel Heal - heal PCs/damage enemies. Maybe reduced dice than a standard bomb?

Looks like I have some designing to do.
