Fire Bomb
Weapon Name: Fire Bomb Weapon Model: Phlogiston Potion Affiliation: N/A Ownership: Rosalin and Vlatkat, also any PCs that have studied Alchemy and could master the extraction process
To create an option for PCs interested in pursuing alchemy. Some characters don't want to or wouldn't use traditional grenades. This gives those types of characters a way to make their own version of the bombs that other characters have easy access to. It also gives PCs a basic starting point in furthering their alchemy skills. I did not feel that this was generic, as a properly prepared potion gives off quite a large, fiery explosion and the compound being used isn't easy to gather or to handle.
Type: Exploding Flammable Potion
Manufacturer: This potion cannot be manufactured as the compound inside is highly unstable. PCs must gather it and make the potion themselves if they wish to use it.
Size: Can be put in a variety of sized containers, but the most efficient would be about the size of a baseball. This size allows for several to potentially be carried, gives off an impressive explosion, and still fits nicely in the palm of the hand, making it easy to throw. Players using this should indicate the size of their character's containers on their profile's inventory list.
Composition: The container should be made of glass and stopped with rubber, cork, wood, or some other such material. The compound inside is called Phlogiston, which will be described in detail in the description box.
Range: The container can be thrown as far as a user can toss it, or perhaps slightly further if using the Force to propel it.
Ammunition Capacity: One time use only. Potion is wholly destroyed upon use.
Phlogiston is the compound that allows any material to burn. Wood, cloth, fuel, some plastics, plants, etc. Literally any compound or material that has the ability to burn contains some Phlogiston within its atomic makeup. The more flammable the substance, the higher content of Phlogiston is present.
The extraction process takes time and much practice to master. It is extremely delicate and intricate work and the compound only builds up to any usable amount after a few days of intensive work by the Alchemist. In addition to the difficulty and time consuming nature of the extraction, it can also be quite dangerous. The highly unstable nature of the compound being extracted can lend itself to disastrous accidents if an Alchemist isn't very careful.
The explosive properties of this potion come exclusively from the pure Phlogiston inside. When the bottle is thrown and the glass breaks, the highly unstable compound is unable to maintain its liquid form and instantly explodes in a large fireball.
The effects of this potion, when prepared correctly and containing pure Phlogiston, are highly destructive. The bottle, when thrown and broken upon a surface, will explode in a fiery ball that will incinerate anything and anyone in its radius. Those with any flammable materials and standing too near the edge of the explosion will also be caught on fire and have to extinguish their clothing.
The blast of the standard baseball size potion is large enough to ensnare several standing adults. The blast radius is about five feet in all directions. If broken on the ground the blast will reach up to five feet in the air, but if broken on a wall or on a person's chest or back, the midpoint would still be five feet and would extend in each direction.
A larger bottle might create a larger blast, but will also be heavier and harder to carry and to throw. If the Alchemist throwing the potion is too near the blast, he or she may also be caught in it. Conversely, a smaller bottle would create a smaller blast but would be much easier to carry and to throw. A bottle too small would also be lighter and may not have enough weight to be thrown very far. These reasons are why the standard recommended size of the bottle is a rounded baseball size.
