Overloaded Brain Grenade
Activate ◆◆ Interact
It's possible for a desperate alchemist to rig the brain container of a defeated alchemical golem to create a volatile (if unusual) explosive. You throw the grenade up to 60 feet, and it explodes, dealing 3d6 fire damage and 3d6 mental damage in a 10-foot burst (DC 27 reflex save).
On a critical failure, a creature takes 2d6 persistent fire damage.
Craft Requirements Supply a brain case harvested from alchemical golem
Traits
Alchemical items are powered by reactions of alchemical reagents. Unless otherwise noted, alchemical items aren't magical and don't radiate a magical aura. Alchemical creatures are partially powered by alchemical reactions.
An item with this trait can be used only once. Unless stated otherwise, it's destroyed after activation. Consumable items include alchemical items and magical consumables such as scrolls and talismans. When a character creates consumable items, they can make them in batches of four.
Effects with the fire trait deal fire damage, or either conjure or manipulate fire. Those that manipulate fire have no effect in an area without fire. Creatures with this trait consist primarily of fire or have a connection to magical fire.
A mental effect can alter the target's mind. It has no effect on an object or a mindless creature.
Some weapons and effects, such as alchemical bombs, have the splash trait. You don't add your Strength modifier to the damage roll for any thrown weapon with the splash trait (even if the item doesn't have the bomb trait). A splash weapon or effect deals any listed splash damage to the target on a failure, success, or critical success, and to all other creatures within 5 feet of the target on a success or critical success. On a critical failure, the weapon or effect misses entirely, dealing no damage. Add splash damage together with the initial damage against the target before applying the target's resistance or weakness. You don't multiply splash damage on a critical hit.
