<p>The alternative would be to put the fusions on two different weapons and have to have one in each hand in order to full attack with the bombard effects.</p>HammerJack wrote:There is not anything preventing you from putting the fusion on a grenade.

Reskinning is the GM's friend, since usually the game balance for a weird build is fine, its just the world logic that isn't.
<p>( So why care about world logic? Because an RPG is not a video game, where anything not mechanically established is impossible. World logic determines what the players •should• be able to do, where the rules don't otherwise say. And if the GM routinely allows/approves absurd mechanical constructs, it effectively rewrites the setting into one where absurd outcomes are physically possible. )</p>Garretmander wrote:Metaphysician wrote: Cellion wrote:This is exactly the key to the Pokemon Trainer build!

<p>Is there anything preventing me from putting a Bombarding fusion on a grenade, and then effectively pretend to throw it, with a mystic version of whatever grenade I loaded into it flinging off to explode baddies?</p>
<p>I like the idea of having a bandoleer of once-a-day grenades of various sorts on my person.</p>
<p>Being able to put them on grenades not only would thematically look cooler, it would be half as much credits for the fusions themselves (and cheaper base items...) as carrying around a bunch of light bulk small arms.</p>
<p>And also... on a level 10+ grenade, can you put two (or more!) Bombarding fusions on it, load it up with two (or more!) grenades? ... can I full attack with that one grenade, firing off both stored grenades in it?</p>
<p>I always loved the idea of a specialized grenade user, but the consumable cost thing always bothered me. I love the bombarding fusion, just want to squeeze out as much mileage as possible.</p>I don't see any reason why not for these questions, I'd just like some backup and reassurance on this topic.
