Scrap Bomb (Discovery)

Ability Type: Su

Prerequisites: -

Benefit: When the alchemist creates a bomb, they can choose to have it explode into shards of shrapnel, inflicting piercing (physical, common) damage instead of the fire (energy, common) damage their bombs would normally deal. In addition, assuming the bomb hits, the direct target must make a Reflex save (DC equal to 10 + half the alchemist's class level + INT modifier) or suffer a Bleed condition equal to half the alchemist's class level.

Note: Scrap bombs deal physical damage instead of energy damage.

Note: This is a 'bomb modifier' discovery, and may not be combined with any other 'bomb modifier' discoveries, until the alchemist learns the Eureka Bombs class feature at level 17.
