Bomb
A bomb is a portable explosive composed of alchemical reagents that is often designed to be fired, placed, or thrown before being detonated by a fuse, timer, or other apparatus. Such bombs are not magic items and exude no magical auras or emit magical traces.12
While sometimes used as tools, bombs are generally associated with combative alchemists3 and to a lesser extent with gunslingers, specialized wizards, and specially trained rogues.4
Composition
Bombs can be built from many combinations of reagents, and with or without explosive components.1 Their simple form makes them flexible ways to deliver destructive and deadly forces, such as acid, glue, metal shrapnel, fire, poisons, disease-spreading agents,15 and noxious spices.6 However, their volatility means they must be handled with care, and a poorly made or carelessly handled bomb can just as indiscriminately harm or kill its owner or allies.1
