Bottled Ooze and Full Attack Action

[Luiginosuke]

The alchemist's bottled ooze discovery let's him make an ooze in a bottle instead of an extract. The ooze summons when the bottle is thrown and smashed. The action is very similar to throwing bombs, except it's arguably simpler in that the alchemist doesn't need to mix the components. Nor is there any drinking of the extract involved.

If the alchemist grabs the fast bombs discovery at level 8, he can throw multiple bombs in a full attack action, presumably because he is faster at drawing and mixing the bomb components.

So, if an alchemist has adequate base attack bonus, can he throw a bottled ooze as part of a full attack action? Could he throw, say a Jelly Tar ooze, and throw a regular fire bomb in the same full attack action, igniting the jelly tar ooze?

Is there any reason that would require the fast bomb discovery?

Conversely, could he instead throw an ooze and then another ooze?

[Java Man]

Bottled ooze functions as an extract, so is always a standard action to activate. The discovery has no interaction with bomb rules or abilities.

As Java Man pointed out, it explicitly say that it is activated as an extract:

Quote:

When the alchemist activates the extract, he actually throws the bottle at a square within 30 feet, releasing the ooze, which reconstitutes and attacks the closest creature.

[Derklord]

General concept in Pathfinder: Just because things are similar, doesn't mean you can use the other thing's rules. It only works that way if something explicitly says so, in this case, if Bottled Ooze would say that you throw it like a bomb.

Roger that, thanks everyone. Yeah I can see how it would kinda break things otherwise too.
