A pic of an alchemist might be more relevant

Very.

Accidentally killed my parties barbarian with a cloudkill bomb.

Oops.

I play an alchemist, and I still think wizards are more aproaite( I never use my bombs anyway, MUTAGENS AND STONK!)

I can't tell you how many alchemists I've played with who are all like, "Don't worry, I have Precise Bombs", then miss their touch attack.

>Precise Bombs

**** that, either go hard or go ******* home.

Use the bombs when you can, if you can't then use your extracts.

Why the **** would someone pick precise bombs

Because they also picked Cold Bombs and your party is surrounded by fire elementals? I dunno, there's reasons 'n' **** .

See THAT'S where you go Dragon's Breath and go ice damage on them

Max your bombs out to do as much damage as possible, then use your extracts as a fallback option

I mean, don't get me wrong, I do love me a good 15' foot cone. One of my bad guys killed one of my players with a basic-ass Burning Hands a session ago. But, 15' isn't very far, especially against creatures that move 60' feet per turn, and even more so if you moved so nobody in the party would get hit by it. They're also intelligent, so they see your bitch-ass trolling with a belt full of anti-freeze, and suddenly you're covered in flaming dongs and die horribly.

I'm probably a special case for alchemists since the GM is so allowing. I was able to upgrade my extracts with custom ingredients Detect metal with a crystaline component instead of metalic made detect gems. We earned about 50,000 GP for each player from that

So I may not be the most reliable source of tactics. Though in the situation you're describing, the wizard in our group probably would have started carpet-bombing Meteor Swarm around us.

Which deals fire damage.

Unfortunately, while he does have the most INT out of the group, he's dumb as a post. I stand by my assessment of what he'd do.

Pic related. His stats.

Wtf, how is everything so high?

Mythic adventures with a bit of custom rules with an ascension to godlike status.

If you'll notice in the racial, he's an Aeon. this was not always the case.

In our game we've been collecting shards of divinity and are currently on a quest to kill ALL of the gods.
User avatar #53 to #52 - schneidend ONLINE (01/08/2016) [-]
But...why?
#54 to #53 - dwarfboy (01/08/2016) [-]
The better question is "Why not?"
User avatar #55 to #54 - schneidend ONLINE (01/08/2016) [-]
Aren't the gods giving any of you blessings, or giving your Druid/Cleric spells?
#56 to #55 - dwarfboy (01/08/2016) [-]
HAH

With mythic adventures, the Druid in our party started powering herself. She has already attained semi-god status with a cult following, and can grant spells to devouts.

And besides, if we don't kill them the universe will be destroyed by a giant interdimensional space worm. We're killing the gods to gain their power to avoid that, and they can't do anything because of a Divine Contract.

I'm starting to see how insane this might seem.

The GMs like to have crazy amounts of power, for both the PCs and the enemies.
#50 to #49 - dwarfboy (01/08/2016) [-]
He thinks he's so special with his natural 74 int.

I'm only two points behind. **** wizards.

Nah
Fireball
User avatar #3 to #2 - BrownBearninetysix (12/31/2015) [-]
That's area damage. Splash damage does less damage outside of the center.
User avatar #4 to #3 - vigilum (12/31/2015) [-]
shhhh
It's the OG splash damage
