At 2nd level, and then again every 2 levels thereafter (up to 18th level), an Life-Shaper makes an incredible alchemical discovery. Unless otherwise noted, an Life-Shaper cannot select an individual discovery more than once. Some discoveries can only be made if the Life-Shaper has met certain prerequisites first, such as uncovering other discoveries. Discoveries that modify bombs that are marked with an asterisk (*) do not stack. Only one such discovery can be applied to an individual bomb. The DC of any saving throw called for by a discovery is equal to 10 + 1\/2 the Life-Shaper’s level + the Life-Shaper’s Intelligence modifier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0Acid bomb*<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it inflict acid damage. Creatures that take a direct hit from an acid bomb take an additional 1d6 points of acid damage 1 round later.<\/td><\/tr>| \u00a0Anarchic Bombs*<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it deal chaotic divine damage. Lawful creatures that take a direct hit from an anarchic bomb must succeed at a Fortitude save or be staggered on their next turn. Against neutral creatures, anarchic bombs deal half damage, and such targets are not affected by their staggering effect. Anarchic bombs have no effect on chaotic-aligned creatures. An Life-Shaper must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Anguish Bomb*<\/em>: You can throw bombs infused with psychic trauma. This discovery allows other Life-Shapers to duplicate the anguish bombs used by\u00a0mnemostillers.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Axiomatic Bombs*<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it deal lawful divine damage. Chaotic creatures that take a direct hit from an axiomatic bomb must succeed at a Fortitude save or be staggered on their next turn. Against neutral creatures, axiomatic bombs deal half damage, and such targets are not affected by their staggering effect. Axiomatic bombs have no effect on lawful creatures. An Life-Shaper must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Blinding Bomb (Su)*<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose for it to detonate very brightly. Creatures that take a direct hit from a blinding bomb are blinded for 1 minute unless they succeed at a Fortitude save. Creatures in the splash area that fail their saves against the bomb are dazzled for 1 minute. This is a light effect. An Life-Shaper must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | Boneshard Bomb*<\/em>: This discovery is popular among necromancers and necrologists alike; aside from its offensive potential, necrologists sometimes use it to turn uncooperative live creatures they wish to question into pliable undead. The Life-Shaper\u2019s bomb deals piercing damage instead of fire damage, and creatures that take a direct hit from a boneshard bomb must succeed at a Fortitude save or take 1d4 points of bleed damage in addition to normal damage. If a creature is killed by a boneshard bomb or the resulting bleed effect, its corpse immediately reanimates as an undead creature with the\u00a0skeleton template. Skeletons that are created in this manner count as undead created by\u00a0animate dead<\/em>\u00a0for the purposes of determining how many undead the Life-Shaper can control. An Life-Shaper must possess the alchemical zombie discovery to select this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Breath Weapon Bomb*<\/em>: Instead of drawing the components of, creating, and throwing a bomb, the Life-Shaper can draw the components, drink them, mix them within his body, and then expel them as a breath weapon as a standard action. This breath weapon is a 15-foot cone and has the same DC as the bomb. Each creature within the cone takes damage as if it had suffered a direct hit from the Life-Shaper\u2019s bomb, but succeeding at a Reflex save (DC = 10 + 1\/2 the Life-Shaper\u2019s level + the Life-Shaper\u2019s Intelligent modifier) halves the damage. Unlike throwing normal bombs, drawing, drinking, and expelling breath weapon bombs does not provoke attacks of opportunity. An Life-Shaper must be at least 6th level before selecting this discovery.\u00a0<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Concussive bomb*<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it inflict sonic damage. Concussive bombs deal 1d4 points of sonic damage, plus 1d4 points of sonic damage for every odd-numbered level, instead of 1d6. Creatures that take a direct hit from a concussive bomb are deafened for 1 minute unless they succeed at a Fortitude save. An Life-Shaper must be at least 6th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Confusion Bomb (Su)*<\/em>: The Life-Shaper\u2019s bombs twist the target\u2019s perception of friend and foe. A creature that takes a direct hit from a confusion bomb takes damage from the bomb. The creature is also under the effect of a\u00a0confusion<\/em>\u00a0spell for 1 round per caster level of the Life-Shaper unless they succeed at a Will save. Reduce the amount of normal damage dealt by the bomb by 2d6 (so a bomb that would normally deal 6d6+4 points of damage deals 4d6+4 points of damage instead). An Life-Shaper must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | Cursed Bomb*<\/em>: When an Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it deliver a debilitating curse. A creature that takes a direct hit from a cursed bomb must succeed at a Will save or be affected by\u00a0bestow curse<\/em>. An Life-Shaper must be at least 12th level to select this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Cytillesh Bomb<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can infuse it with cytillesh extract. Cytillesh bombs deal 1d4 points of damage, plus 1d4 points of damage for every odd-numbered level, instead of 1d6. Creatures that take a direct hit from a cytillesh bomb are sickened for 1 round per Life-Shaper level unless they succeed at Fortitude saves. If a creature is rendered unconscious from this bomb or any other attack before it is able to remove the sickened condition, the victim loses all memory from the last hour and cannot form new memories for 8 hours. The lost and prevented memories might return later as dreams, and can be restored with a\u00a0restoration<\/em>\u00a0spell. This discovery doesn\u2019t stack with other discoveries that alter an Life-Shaper\u2019s bomb.<\/td><\/tr> | Darkness Bomb*<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it suppress light sources on the target. This extinguishes nonmagical light sources carried by the target and dispels magical light sources for 1 round\/level as\u00a0deeper darkness<\/em>.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Defoliant Bomb<\/em>: These poisonous bombs clear away foliage, dealing extra damage to plant creatures.\u00a0 | When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it deal extra damage against plant creatures but less damage against other creatures. Against creatures with the plant type, a defoliant bomb deals 1d8 points of damage, plus 1d8 points of damage for every odd-numbered level the Life-Shaper possesses, instead of 1d6. Against all other creatures, the defoliant bomb only deals 1d4 points of damage, plus 1d4 points of damage for every odd-numbered level, instead of 1d6. This is a poison effect. A defoliant bomb kills all normal vegetation in the target’s square and its splash area; any plant-based difficult terrain in the affected area becomes normal terrain.\u00a0<\/td><\/tr> \u00a0Delayed bomb<\/em>: The Life-Shaper can place a bomb so that it explodes a number of rounds after the v ceases contact with the bomb. This delay can be any number of rounds as chosen by the Life-Shaper, up to a number of rounds equal to his level. If at any point the Life-Shaper reclaims possession of the delayed bomb, he can end the timer and prevent the bomb’s detonation. A delayed bomb detonates immediately if any other creature attempts to touch or move it, or if the bomb’s contents are removed from the vial (such as if the vial breaks). The bomb deals damage as if it scored a direct hit to any creature in the square with the bomb when it detonates, and splash damage to all adjacent creatures as normal. An Life-Shaper cannot have more than one delayed bomb at one time. If he creates another delayed bomb, the previous bomb becomes inert.\u00a0Dispel magic<\/em>\u00a0can neutralize a delayed bomb, as can a successful Disable Device check (DC equals 10 + the Life-Shaper’s level + the Life-Shaper’s Intelligence modifier). An Life-Shaper must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Demolition Charge*<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it deal damage to an object as if by a sunder combat maneuver. If the item is worn or held by an opponent, the item is considered the direct target, and the wearer\/holder takes splash damage from the blast. If the object is unattended, a demolition charge deals an additional 2d6 points of damage on a direct hit. This bonus doesn\u2019t affect the bomb\u2019s splash damage. An Life-Shaper must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Directed Bomb<\/em>: The Life-Shaper can cause his bombs to splash in a 15-foot cone instead of a 5-foot-radius burst. The Life-Shaper chooses the direction of the cone. If the attack misses, roll an additional 1d8 to determine the direction of the blast from where the bomb lands. This discovery can\u2019t be combined with the explosive bomb discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Dispelling bomb<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it dispel magic effects instead of deal damage. Creatures that take a direct hit from a dispelling bomb are subject to a targeted\u00a0dispel magic<\/em>\u00a0spell, using the Life-Shaper’s level as the caster level. This cannot be used to target a specific spell effect. The Life-Shaper must be at least 6th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Dread Bomb<\/em>: Your anguish bombs are tainted with fear and dread. Creatures who take damage from your anguish bombs become frightened for 1d6 rounds. A target that succeeds at a Will saving throw is instead shaken for a single round. An Life-Shaper must be 6th level and have the anguish bomb class feature or the anguish bomb discovery before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Ectoplasmic Bomb*<\/em>: The Life-Shaper can infuse her bombs with a special unction that damages incorporeal creatures and reveals the presence of undead creatures hiding in the area. Incorporeal creatures struck by an ectoplasmic bomb take full damage from the bomb. In addition, squares in the affected area of the bomb begin to faintly glow in the spaces where undead creatures have traveled in the last minute, including undead benefiting from invisibility or other forms of obscurity (such as\u00a0ethereal jaunt<\/em>), effectively creating a glowing trail. Any undead creatures in the affected area at the time of the explosion likewise glow faintly. This glowing effect lasts for 1 minute, and is otherwise identical to\u00a0faerie fire<\/em>.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Explosive bomb*<\/em>: The Life-Shaper’s bombs now have a splash radius of 10 feet rather than 5 feet. Creatures that take a direct hit from an explosive bomb catch fire, taking 1d6 points of fire damage each round until the fire is extinguished. Extinguishing the flames is a full-round action that requires a Reflex save. Rolling on the ground provides the target with a +2 to the save. Dousing the target with at least 2 gallons of water automatically extinguishes the flames.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Fast bombs<\/em>: An Life-Shaper with this discovery can quickly create enough bombs to throw more than one in a single round. The Life-Shaper can prepare and throw additional bombs as a full-round action if his base attack bonus is high enough to grant him additional attacks. This functions just like a full-attack with a ranged weapon. An Life-Shaper must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Flesh-Eating Bomb*<\/em>: The Life-Shaper can create bombs that devour living matter. The Life-Shaper\u2019s bomb deals damage one die step higher than normal (regular bombs deal d8s, concussive bombs deal 1d6, and so on), but they have no effect on inorganic matter. In addition, a creature with at least a +1 armor bonus to AC is less likely to be harmed; such creatures in the bomb\u2019s splash radius take no damage on a successful Reflex save, and the target of a direct hit can attempt a Reflex save against the bomb\u2019s save DC to take only half damage.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Force bomb*<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it inflict force damage. Force bombs deal 1d4 points of force damage, plus 1d4 points of force damage for every odd-numbered level, instead of 1d6. Creatures that take a direct hit from a force bomb are knocked prone unless they succeed on a Reflex save. An Life-Shaper must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Frost bomb*<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it inflict cold damage. Creatures that take a direct hit from a frost bomb are staggered on their next turn unless they succeed on a Fortitude save.<\/td><\/tr> | Glassfoot Bomb*<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it cover the ground in volatile jagged crystals in addition to its normal effects. These crystals act like\u00a0caltrops, evaporating into a smelly but harmless gas in 2d6 rounds.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Grease Bomb*<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it create a grease slick upon detonation. When a grease bomb detonates, it coats an area equal to the bomb\u2019s splash radius in grease (as the\u00a0grease<\/em>\u00a0spell) for 1 round per level. The DC of the Reflex save to avoid falling after a failed Acrobatics check is equal to 10 + 1\/2 the Life-Shaper\u2019s level + the Life-Shaper\u2019s Intelligence modifier. A grease bomb can\u2019t affect items or armor. An Life-Shaper must be at least 6th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Greater Plague Bomb*<\/em>: The effects of the smoke created by an Life-Shaper\u2019s bomb duplicates the effects of\u00a0greater contagion<\/em>\u00a0instead of\u00a0fog cloud<\/em>, filling an area equal to twice the bomb\u2019s splash radius for 1 round per level. An Life-Shaper must be at least 16th level and must possess the plague bomb and smoke bomb discoveries before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Grounding Goo* (Su)<\/em>: The Life-Shaper\u2019s bomb applies a sticky residue after any damage from the bomb is resolved. If a creature damaged by the bomb has a nonmagical fly speed, its flight is severely impaired, and it takes a penalty equal to the Life-Shaper\u2019s level on Fly checks for 1 minute.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Healing Bomb*<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it heal damage instead of dealing it. Creating a healing bomb requires the Life-Shaper to expend an infused extract or potion containing a cure spell. A creature that takes a direct hit from a healing bomb is healed as if she had imbibed the infusion or potion used to create the bomb. Creatures in the splash radius are healed for the minimum amount of damage the cure spell is capable of healing. A healing bomb damages undead instead of healing them.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Hellfire Bomb*<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can have it act as an explosive bomb, but deal half of its damage as fire damage and half as unholy damage that is not subject to fire resistance or immunity. An Life-Shaper must be at least 9th level and have the explosive bomb discovery before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Holy Bombs*<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it deal good divine damage. Evil creatures that take a direct hit from a holy bomb must succeed at a Fortitude save or be staggered on their next turn. Against neutral creatures, holy bombs deal half damage, and such targets are not affected by their staggering effect. Holy bombs have no effect on good-aligned creatures. An Life-Shaper must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Immolation Bomb*<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have its substance coat the direct target\u2019s body, causing the bomb to deal its damage over time instead of all at once. The bomb\u2019s effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to the number of damage dice the bomb would normally deal (for instance, a 5d6 bomb lasts for 5 rounds). When the bomb hits the direct target, the bomb deals 1d6 + the Life-Shaper\u2019s Intelligence modifier in damage, and those within the splash zone take damage equal to 1 + the Life-Shaper\u2019s Intelligence modifier. It repeats this damage against the direct target of the bomb each round the immolation bomb lasts, dealing the damage at the start of the Life-Shaper\u2019s turn. Splash damage is dealt again to any creature that is adjacent to the direct target when it takes damage from the immolation bomb. A creature taking damage from an immolation bomb\u2019s direct hit can attempt to extinguish the flames as a full-round action that requires a Reflex save (DC = 10 + 1\/2 the Life-Shaper\u2019s level + the Life-Shaper\u2019s Intelligent modifier). Because of the alchemical nature of this bomb, rolling on the ground does not grant a bonus on the saving throw, and dousing a creature with water does not stop it from burning. These bombs can be used underwater. An Life-Shaper must be at least 3rd level before selecting this discovery.\u00a0<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Incendiary Charge<\/em>: An incendiary charge is a bomb specifically designed to overcome the effects of any nonmagical object\u2019s hardness. As a full-round action, the Life-Shaper can place an incendiary charge that burns and eats away at an object, dealing normal bomb damage to it. (The damage is not halved against an object with hardness, unlike most energy damage.) Furthermore, the incendiary charge ignores the first 5 points of hardness of the material being damaged. | The Life-Shaper must be at least 4th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> \u00a0Inferno bomb*<\/em>: The effects of the smoke created by an Life-Shaper’s bomb duplicate the effects of\u00a0incendiary cloud<\/em>\u00a0instead of\u00a0fog cloud<\/em>, filling an area equal to twice the bomb’s splash radius for 1 round per level. An Life-Shaper must be at least 16th level and must possess the smoke bomb discovery before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Inspired Bomb (Su)<\/em>: An Life-Shaper with this discovery and a pool of inspiration (by way of a class feature, a feat, or the inspiring cognatogen discovery) can expend two uses of inspiration to increase the bomb\u2019s damage by 1d6. The type of damage the bomb deals does not change. Unlike other a discoveries that affect bombs, this one can be applied to a bomb with another bomb discovery, though it cannot be applied to the same bomb more than once.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Jury-Rigged Bomb* (Su)<\/em>: Unlike normal bombs, jury-rigged bombs can be created from whatever materials the Life-Shaper has on hand; this makes them particularly handy in situations where the Life-Shaper might find himself imprisoned or stripped of his equipment. Jury-rigged bombs can be crafted and thrown as a swift action (this counts against the Life-Shaper\u2019s daily use of bombs), and they deal only 1d4 points of damage + additional damage equal to half the Life-Shaper\u2019s Intelligence modifier on a direct hit. This damage increases by 1d4 at 3rd level and every 2 levels thereafter. Despite being useful in a pinch, jury-rigged bombs are nonetheless crudely crafted and highly unstable; if the Life-Shaper\u2019s attack roll results in a natural 1, the bomb explodes as he is creating it, and he takes damage as if he had taken a direct hit. An Life-Shaper must be at least 4th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Madness bomb<\/em>: The Life-Shaper’s bombs do more than sear flesh\u2014they sear the mind. A creature that takes a direct hit from a madness bomb takes damage from the bomb plus 1d4 points of Wisdom damage. Reduce the amount of normal damage dealt by the bomb by 2d6 (so a bomb that would normally deal 6d6+4 points of damage deals 4d6+4 points of damage instead). The amount of Wisdom damage dealt by a madness bomb is reduced by 1 for each madness bomb that hit the target in the past 24 hours, to a minimum of 1 point of Wisdom damage. An Life-Shaper must be at least 12th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Melancholy Bomb<\/em>: Your anguish bombs are filled with memories of sadness and regret. Creatures who take damage from your anguish bombs are also affected as per\u00a0crushing despair<\/em>\u00a0for 1 round per Life-Shaper level, or a single round if the target succeeds at a Will saving throw. An Life-Shaper must be 10th level and have the anguish bomb class feature or the anguish bomb discovery before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Neutralizing Bomb<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to give it the potential to end certain ongoing effects instead of dealing damage. Each creature in the splash radius can attempt a new saving throw against any poison afflicting it and any ongoing conditions or ongoing acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic damage. (If an effect did not allow a saving throw, this bomb doesn\u2019t allow affected creatures to attempt one.) Success counts as one successful save toward ending poison and immediately ends other conditions. Exposed poison in the splash radius is also rendered harmless. A creature with poison abilities that is directly struck by the bomb finds those abilities useless for 1d4 rounds unless it succeeds at a Fortitude saving throw. This discovery doesn\u2019t stack with any other that modifies bombs.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Ooze Blight*<\/em>: A target hit by the Life-Shaper\u2019s bomb loses the split special quality for 1d4 rounds. In addition, against creatures with the ooze type, this bomb deals untyped damage that bypasses all resistances.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Penetrating Charge<\/em>: A penetrating charge is a bomb specifically designed to disable locks and similar mechanisms, though not other means of sealing a door, a container, or other sorts of devices. As a full-round action, the Life-Shaper can place a penetrating charge on a lock. Instead of dealing damage, the penetrating charge seeps into the mechanism and eats away at it, granting a +5 circumstance bonus on any subsequent Disable Device checks against the mechanism. A creature can spend 10 minutes and attempt an appropriate Craft check (DC 15) to fix the lock and remove this bonus.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Plague Bomb (Su)*<\/em>: The effects of the smoke created by an Life-Shaper\u2019s bomb duplicates the effects of\u00a0contagion<\/em>\u00a0instead of\u00a0fog cloud<\/em>, filling an area equal to twice the bomb\u2019s splash area for 1 round per level. An Life-Shaper must be at least 8th level and must have the smoke bomb discovery before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | Plague Vector<\/em>: The effects of the Life-Shaper\u2019s plague bomb operate as normal except for the following changes. The chosen disease\u2019s save DC is equal to 10 + 1\/2 the Life-Shaper\u2019s level + his Intelligence modifier. Any creatures affected by the chosen disease become vectors for it, spreading the disease to any creatures they come in physical contact with for a number of days equal to the Life-Shaper\u2019s Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). The save DC to avoid contracting the disease from the vector is the same as the DC used for this discovery. An Life-Shaper must be at least 14th level and must have the plague bomb discovery to select this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Poison bomb*<\/em>: The effects of the smoke created by an Life-Shaper’s bomb duplicates the effects of\u00a0cloudkill<\/em>\u00a0instead of\u00a0fog cloud<\/em>, filling an area equal to twice the bomb’s splash radius for 1 round per level. An Life-Shaper must be at least 12th level and must possess the smoke bomb discovery before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Poisoned Explosive*<\/em>: When an Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can apply a dose of contact or injury poison to it, as if applying poison to a weapon. If the poisoned bomb hits its target, the bomb deals damage as normal, but the target must also succeed at a saving throw against the poison or be affected by that poison. No other creatures are affected by the poison. An Life-Shaper must be at least 4th level and have the poison use class feature before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Precise bombs<\/em>: Whenever the Life-Shaper throws a bomb, he can select a number of squares equal to his Intelligence modifier that are not affected by the splash damage from his bombs. If the bomb misses, this discovery has no effect.<\/td><\/tr> | Profane Bomb*<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it deal evil divine damage. Good creatures that take a direct hit from a profane bomb must succeed at a Fortitude save or be staggered on their next turn. Against a neutral creature, a profane bomb deals half damage, and the target is not affected by the bomb\u2019s staggering effect. A profane bomb has no effect against evil-aligned creatures. An Life-Shaper must be at least 8th level to select this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | Psychoactive Bomb*<\/em>: Psychoactive bombs are mixed with neurotoxic extracts that heighten certain sensations. A creature struck by a psychoactive bomb takes a \u20131 penalty on saving throws against charm, emotion, fear, and pain effects, and the DC for Intimidate checks against the victim decreases by 2. This effect lasts for 1 hour per Life-Shaper level. These penalties do not stack, and a creature can only be affected by a single psychoactive bomb at a time. A psychoactive bomb deals 1d6 fewer hit points of damage than normal. An Life-Shaper must be at least 6th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Remote Bomb<\/em>: The Life-Shaper can spend two uses of his daily bombs to create a special bomb that is manually detonated. When the bomb is created, the Life-Shaper also creates a catalyst distillate, which requires no extra time or cost. A remote bomb is inert unless triggered by this distillate. The bomb is detonated as a standard action when the distillate fumes are exposed to the rest of the bomb. An Life-Shaper must be within 60 feet of the bomb for the distillate to successfully trigger the bomb. A catalyst distillate can detonate a bomb even if the bomb has already been hurled at a target. Triggering the distillate outside of the 60-foot range or after 1 hour has no effect.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Sand Bomb* (Su)<\/em>\u00a0: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can pack the casing full of sand that explodes in an abrasive cloud on impact. A creature that takes a direct hit from a sand bomb is blinded for 1 round, as are any creatures in the splash radius that fail a Reflex save (DC = 10 + half the Life-Shaper\u2019s level + his Intelligence modifier).<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Shock bomb*<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it inflict electricity damage. Creatures that take a direct hit from a shock bomb are dazzled for 1d4 rounds.<\/td><\/tr> | Siege Bomb*<\/em>: As a standard action, the Life-Shaper infuses a single piece of ammunition on a loaded siege weapon with the power of his bomb. As long as the siege engine with this ammunition is fired before the start of the Life-Shaper\u2019s next turn, the ammunition does damage normally, and also deals the damage of the Life-Shaper\u2019s bomb. The splash radius of the bomb effect is 20 feet rather than 5 feet. Creatures that take the bomb\u2019s damage (either direct damage or splash damage), take 1d6 points of fire damage each round until the fire is extinguished. Extinguishing the flames is a full-round action that requires a Reflex save. Rolling on the ground provides the target with a +2 bonus on the save. Dousing the target with at least 2 gallons of water automatically extinguishes the flames. An Life-Shaper must be at least 12th level and must possess the explosive bomb discovery before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Smoke bomb*<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it create a cloud of thick smoke when it detonates. The cloud functions as\u00a0fog cloud<\/em>, filling an area equal to twice the bomb’s splash radius for 1 round per level.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Solid Ground* (Su)<\/em>: The Life-Shaper launches an explosive paste bomb that bonds with any earthen surface. Each application of this paste deals no damage and affects a 5-foot-cube of dirt, loose soil, or stone, transmuting the earth for a number of minutes equal to the Life-Shaper\u2019s level. Creatures cannot use burrow, earthmeld, or similar abilities (such as the\u00a0meld into stone<\/em>spell) while the ground remains transmuted in this way.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Sticky bomb<\/em>: The effects of the Life-Shaper’s bombs are persistent and continue to damage creatures for 1 round after the initial damage. Creatures that take a direct hit from a sticky bomb take the splash damage 1 round later. Bombs that have effects that would normally occur 1 round later instead have those effects occur 2 rounds later. An Life-Shaper must be at least 10th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Stink bomb*<\/em>: The effects of the smoke created by an Life-Shaper’s bomb can duplicate the effects of\u00a0stinking cloud<\/em>\u00a0instead of\u00a0fog cloud<\/em>, filling an area equal to twice the bomb’s splash radius for 1 round. An Life-Shaper must possess the smoke bomb discovery before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Strafe Bomb (Su)<\/em>: The Life-Shaper can throw bombs that splash in a 40-foot line rather than affecting a radius. The line starts at the Life-Shaper and extends away from him in the direction he chooses. The Life-Shaper designates one creature in the squares affected by the line to be the target of the bomb and makes his attack roll against that creature; all other squares in the line take splash damage. If the Life-Shaper has the explosive bomb discovery and throws an explosive strafe bomb, the line of splash damage is 80 feet long instead of 40 feet.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Substantiating Bomb*<\/em>: Your bombs are infused with ectoplasm and a longing for life, lending ethereal creatures a measure of substance. You can throw a bomb that inflicts no damage but instead creates a 10-foot-radius cloud of fog that functions as\u00a0fog cloud<\/em>\u00a0and lasts for 1 round per Life-Shaper level. Incorporeal creatures that pass through this cloud become partially solid, taking half damage from nonmagic attacks and full damage from magic weapons, spells, and spell-like abilities. This effect lasts for the duration of the smoke cloud, even if the incorporeal creature moves outside the cloud\u2019s area. A creature affected by the cloud can attempt a Will saving throw to negate the substantiating effects of this bomb. An Life-Shaper must be 10th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Sunlight Bomb (Su)*<\/em>: The Life-Shaper can throw bombs that explode with a searing radiance equivalent to that of sunlight and that act as blinding bombs. Undead, fungi, molds, oozes, slimes, and creatures to which sunlight is harmful or unnatural take +2 damage per die from the bomb. Undead that are harmed by sunlight and that fail their saves against the bomb are staggered for 1 round. An Life-Shaper must be at least 10th level and must have the blinding bomb discovery before he can select this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Syringe Stirge (Su)<\/em>: As a full-round action, you can expend two daily uses of bombs to create a syringe stirge, a tiny construct primed with a bomb (if you have multiple types of bombs, you must select which type the syringe stirge carries when created). Undirected, they take no actions except to flock around you in your square and follow you as best they can. They can be attacked normally, but gain cover while occupying your square. As a swift action, you can order one of your syringe stirges to attack an enemy it can see. Once ordered to attack that enemy, the syringe stirge will continue to attack every round, attempting to attach and deliver its payload. | A syringe stirge has all of the statistics of a\u00a0stirge\u00a0but lacks the blood drain ability. If it ends its turn attached to an opponent, it injects your bomb into the opponent\u2019s bloodstream, dealing damage as a direct hit plus the Life-Shaper\u2019s Intelligence modifier (as the\u00a0Throw Anything\u00a0feat\u2014this injection is a direct attack and doesn\u2019t deal splash damage. A syringe stirge dies immediately after injecting its bomb. A syringe stirge lasts for 1 minute per Life-Shaper level or until destroyed; if it has not attached to an enemy before the end of its life span it and its bomb payload fall inert. An Life-Shaper must be at least 6th level before selecting this discovery.<\/td><\/tr> \u00a0Tanglefoot Bomb (Su)*<\/em>: A creature that takes a direct hit from a tanglefoot bomb must save against the bomb\u2019s DC or be entangled and glued to the floor as if it had failed its save against a\u00a0tanglefoot bag. Creatures in the splash area that fail their saves are entangled but not glued to the floor; those who make this save are not entangled at all.<\/td><\/tr> | \u00a0Thorny Bomb* (Su)<\/em>: When the Life-Shaper creates a bomb, he can choose to have it deal piercing damage. Thorny bombs count as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.<\/td><\/tr> | Underwater Demolition (Ex)<\/em>: The Life-Shaper gains the ability to throw bombs underwater (normally, thrown weapons cannot be used underwater), including throwing from the air into the water. If the bomb travels through water, the range increment is reduced to 5 feet.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n | Extract Discoveries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
