Grenade Chucker?
« on: May 28, 2011, 03:18:21 PM »
Welp, I am in the frame of mind for a grenadier.  I have found few feats to help support this, and a friend of mine suggested a Rogue.  Due to the SA to thrown grenade weapons?.  There are tons of PRC to support throwing 2 daggers or similiar at once, per round and tons of optimizing with Tome of battle stuff.  So I am curious what is the best way to fulfil this type of concept?, For me I have only seen 2 feats, Grenadier and a feat called 'Talenta warrior' I think its called.  Then there are tons of PRC's like the halflings Whisper knife, Tome of Battle Blade blood thrower (brain isnt working), is there any other possibilities?.

I have access to most of the books either in PDF or Hardback, my DM is one of dem bastards so 3rd party stuff may be allowed.  If I dont have the book then I dont think ill beable to use it.

If you can help, please give refferences and such.  Thanks.

See also this feat.


Have you considered the alchemist class from Pathfinder? For a 3.5 game you'd drop Fly and Perception from the skill list and add Search, Spot and Listen.

I even made a homebrew archetype for it.

My work
The tier system in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Tier 6: A cartographer.
Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.

You know for just under 300 gp you could have someone build you a command-word activated item of Launch Item (SpC) which would hurl your grenades upwards of 100 ft.

But this is only relevant if you actually want a grenade launcher...

PHB2 has the greandier feat and somewhere (think one of th Races books) there's a feat called Shape Splash (hit two adjacent foes with a direct hit, don't hit adjacent allies)
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

If using Genesis to hide your phylactry, set it at -300 degrees farenheit.  See how do-gooders fare with a liquid atmosphere.

Depending on starting level, the serene guardian from shattered gates of slaughtergarde might be a good pick - the no-save confusion ability you get late in the PrC triggers whenever you deal damage multiple times per round, no matter how small.  Chucking a couple of acid flasks makes it impossible to avoid getting splashed twice.

Also, telekinesis lets you deliver a lot of grenades quickly.

You could also go the route of a wizard casting Explosive Runes on stuff and setting them off. You could research different versions of it, such as a sonic version for taking down architecture. Though that depends on the answer to a few questions. Do multiple casts stack? If you were to make clay arrowheads and cast ER on them, would the arrowhead shattering set off the spell, or would you have to enchant the arrow to botch a dispel check on the runes to set them off when the hit something?

Consider the following:

Master Thrower prc (Complete Warrior)
Bloodstorm Blade prc (ToB)
Skiprock weapon (race of the wild)
add dex to damage via dead eye feat, targetter variant from Dragon mag and aptitude weapon on skiprock for shadow blade feat


It should be a good start already... :smirk

For nonmagical explosives, secrets of sarlonna has detpacks. A little pricey unless you have an easy magical means of manufacturing them.
Shh. My common sense is tingling. . .

Consider a quiver of aurorum +1 returning spell-storing power-storing dye arrows that you can fill with poison via Psionic/Minor Creation (or other alchemical liquids or oils). Release a power and a spell with a ranged touch attack. Awesome if you're a psionic artificer, but if you can manage to fill the arrows some other way (such as via a cerebremancer cohort), you're gold.

Add a least energy crystal (sonic) for sonic sneak attack damage.

Sure, it's not a grenade (exactly), but you've got a ton of range, and potential buffs/debuffs/healing/damage if you want it, all as an attack action.

I dare anyone to find a hole in that logic.

You cannot go grenadier without first taking Shaped Splash from RoE.
