Mad Bomber (Sorcerer/Alchemist)

(Original Concept by Raiderrpg)

Primary Class: Sorcerer.

Secondary Class: Alchemist.

Alignment: Any chaotic.

Hit Dice: d6.

Bonus Skills and Ranks: The mad bomber may select three alchemist skills to add to his class skills in addition to the normal sorcerer class skills. The mad bomber gains a number of ranks at each level equal to 2 + Int modifier.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The mad bomber is proficient with all simple weapons. A mad bomber is not proficient with any type of armor or shield. Armor interferes with a mad bomber’s gestures, which can cause his spells with somatic components to fail.

Diminished Spellcasting: The mad bomber casts arcane spells drawn from the sorcerer/wizards spell list, and both gains and knows one fewer spell of each spell level. If this reduces the number to 0 (minimum 1 for spells known), he may cast spells of that level only if his Charisma allows bonus spells of that level. He otherwise casts spells as a sorcerer of equal level. A mad bomber casts no cantrips and adds detect magic and read magic to his list of 1st-level spell known.

Bloodline: This is exactly like the sorcerer ability of the same name, except that the mad bomber must select the Chemaniac bloodline. In addition, a mad bomber may select the Extra Bomb feat or Remote Bomb feat as one of his bloodline feats, or as a normal feat gained through level advancement. Like Bomb related discoveries, these feats can be applied to his eldritch ka-booms.

Eldritch Ka-Booms: A mad bomber is first foremost a pyromaniac at heart, and has studied every known method to create explosions–from small precise detonations to fiery blasts of mass destruction. Starting at 1st level, a mad bomber can create volatile balls of eldritch flame in his hand that he can hurl at his enemies. A mad bomber
