Release 19 - alchemical bombs as activities

[vimcdonald]

In creating Activities under release 19, is there a way to include proficiency bonus to attack rolls?

I'm trying to duplicate bombs (like alchemist's fire) similar to how ShadeRaven's DnD Alchemist does but with activities. The activity doesn't seem to have a way include the proficiency bonus in the attack roll. For instance, a level 5 alchemist with +2 Dex using moderate alchemist's fire is rolling d20+3 when using an activity, but is (correctly) rolling d20+10 when using the "spell" in SR's DnD Alchemist - because I could set the proficiency bonus when handling it as a spell.

I can work around this by adjusting the Misc modifier for the attack, but then I have to change that with every level up (and on every different kind of bomb).

The attack entries haven't been developed for the activities as I don't forsee them being used too much. They were just included more because they're part of the save action than anything else. Bombs will be implemented as weapons in a future release (which is what they are) so I hadn't considered what might be needed for bombs in activities.

Sounds good, and I'm not surprised. I'll have to decide between keeping SR's stuff for ease of managing bombs, or working around by fiddling with the attack modifiers under Activities. Thanks for the confirmation!

If SR's stuff is working well enough for you now I wouldn't try to recreate that in activities, stick with what you have now until bombs are natively supported.
