Alchemical Bombs
Alchemical bombs are consumable weapons that deal damage or produce special effects, and they sometimes deal splash damage. You throw a bomb as a ranged Strike. It’s a martial ranged weapon with a range increment of 20 feet and can’t benefit from runes since it’s a consumable.
A bomb deals any listed splash damage to the target on a failure, success, or critical success, and to all other creatures within 5 feet of the target on a success or critical success. Add the damage together before applying resistance or weakness, and don’t multiply splash damage on a critical hit.
Elixirs
Elixirs are alchemical items you drink with a single action that has the manipulate trait, gaining the listed benefit.
Alchemical Tools
Alchemical tools are a type of alchemical item you use, rather than drink or throw. They all have the alchemical and consumable traits.
