[RPG] How many bomb attacks does the 8th-level Bomber Alchemist get with a Full Attack

alchemistpathfinder-1e

I was wondering what a full attack would look like for a level 8 alchemist. I've seen a few builds, but i must be missing something because the BAB For my full attack using bombs doesn't match and all the builds vary too.

So again my question is what would a full attack (5 bombs? Or would it be 4?) for a level 8 look like?

Relevant PC details:

  • Current BAB +6/+1
  • Dex w/Dex mutagen +6
  • Point blank shot +1
  • Throw anything +1

With the fast bombs discovery, rapid shot(−2) and two weapon fighting (−2) feats i would be able To throw five (?) bombs in total.

Best Answer

The official FAQ says that those feats work with bombs.

Alchemist: If an alchemist has the Fast bombs discovery, can he use Rapid Shot, Two-Weapon Fighting, Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, haste, and similar abilities and effects to add more attacks?

As written, yes, all of these apply because fast bombs "functions just like a full-attack with a ranged weapon."

Yes you should be able to throw 5 bombs: 2 from BAB, 1 from Rapid shot, 2 from both two weapon fighting feats.
