Hi! How do you calculate bomb damage? Do you include SL from character using it? Also what skill do you use to determine success? There is no „bombs” skills to use as weapon

How do you calculate bomb damage? Do you include SL from character using it?

Yes, you do, like with any other damage. You also use the weapon traits like for any other weapons.

So, for example, when using a Bomb Blast 5 makes it an AoE attack with a radius of 5 yds and Impact increases the damage by the value of the units die from the attack roll.

Also what skill do you use to determine success? There is no „bombs” skills to use as weapon

The designated one is Ranged (Explosives) but you can also use Ranged (Engineering).
