Bombs

There are various grades of explosive devices in Eon, ranging from the innocuous F to the nightmarish FFFF. The party's favored strength is the FFF bomb, which is pronounced either as 'triple F' or as 'FFFFFFFFFFF', depending on the scenario. 
== Production and Trade ==
The goblin civilization at Xenteroth's Tower is the major production center of bombs and other explosive devices. Any weapons merchant daring enough to trade in bombs will quickly become wealthy and popular, but the hazards associated with transporting bombs any great distance, either by sea or by air, is enough to discourage all but the ballsiest or greediest. The "F" designations are based on the grain of the explosive powder, ranging from roughest to finest. The gradations are not per se units of power, but instead used to measure the reactivity and sensitivity of the powder to shock, sparks, or looking at it too hard. Given a standard combat bomb weighing one pound:  
*F bombs deal 1d6 explosive damage within a five foot burst, and have a 20 percent chance of catching things within its blast radius on fire.
*FF bombs deal 2d6 explosive damage within a five foot burst, and have a 15 percent chance of catching things on fire.
*FFF bombs deal 4d6 explosive damage within a five foot burst, and have a 10 percent chance of catching things on fire.
*FFFF bombs, or frizzle powder bombs, deal 6d6 damage within a five foot burst and do not need to be lit. They explode on contact.
== Tactical Use ==
Ulfgar's most famous maneuver was to take a FFF bomb in each hand and slam them into his opponent, detonating the bombs simultaneously at point-blank range. Ulfgar could take the damage, but few others could match him in that.
Ulgar later had another incident when a miscalled airstrike by Leilah triggered the explosives strapped to his person, blowing up the bridge he was under, the dragon he was riding, the tower he was next to, Shiolay, Ethan, Leilah, and himself. Everyone else came back from the dead, saved for full, or took all the damage on their protective buffs...except Ulfgar, who was pinked by a blue dragon on his next round.
Bombs of FFF grade or lower explode after a delay of one round when thrown.
