40mm Fragmentation Grenade
This small explosive device must be fired from a 40mm grenade launcher, such as the M79. It sprays shrapnel in all directions when it explodes.
The
40mm fragmentation grenade has a minimum range of 40 feet. If fired against a target closer than 40 feet away, it does not arm and will not explode.
The purchase DC given is for a box of 6 grenades.
So-called "plastic" explosives resemble slabs of wax. Hard and translucent when cold, these explosives warm up when kneaded, and then can be coaxed to take various shapes. The information on the table represents a 1-pound block. Additional blocks can be wired together, increasing the
damage and burst radius; each additional block increases the
damage by +2d6 and the burst radius by 2 feet, and requires a Demolitions check (DC 15) to link them.
Although the
damage statistics on the table represent a 1-pound block, C4 is sold in 4-block packages. The purchase DC given represents a package of 4 blocks.
C4/Semtex requires a detonator to set off. It is considered to be a moderate explosive for the purpose of using a Craft (chemical) check to manufacture it.
Det cord is an explosive in a ropelike form. Technically,
det cord doesn't explode-but it burns so fast (4,000 yards per second) that it might as well be exploding. Normally used to string multiple explosive charges together for simultaneous detonation (allowing a single detonator to set them all off),
det cord can also be looped around a tree or post or other object to cut it neatly in half.
The information on the table represents a 50-foot length. A length of
det cord can be spread out to pass through up to ten 5-foot squares. When this is the case, it deals the indicated
damage to all creatures in each 5-foot square through which it passes.
It can also be doubled up; for each additional 5 feet of cord within a single 5-foot square, increase the
damage by +1d6 to a maximum increase of +4d6.
Det cord requires a detonator to set it off. It is considered to be a simple explosive for the purpose of using a Craft (chemical) check to manufacture it.
Perhaps one of the most common and straightforward explosives,
dynamite is very stable under normal conditions. A stick of
dynamite requires a fuse or detonator to set it off. Additional sticks can be set off at the same time if they are within the burst radius of the first stick, increasing the
damage and burst radius of the explosion. Each additional stick increases the
damage by +1d6 (maximum 10d6) and the burst radius by 5 feet (maximum 20 feet).
It's possible to wire together several sticks of
dynamite for even greater explosive effect. Doing so requires a Demolitions check (DC 10 + 1 per stick). If the character succeeds on the check, the
damage or the burst radius of the explosion increases by 50% (the character's choice).
Dynamite is sold in boxes of 12 sticks. It is considered to be a simple explosive for the purpose of using a Craft (chemical) check to manufacture it.
To set off
dynamite using a fuse, the fuse must first be lit, requiring a
move action (and a lighter or other source of flame). The amount of time until the
dynamite explodes depends on the length of the fuse-a fuse can be cut short enough for the
dynamite to detonate in the same round (allowing it to be used much like a grenade), or long enough to take several minutes to detonate. Cutting the fuse to the appropriate length requires a
move action.
The most common military grenade, this is a small explosive device that sprays shrapnel in all directions when it explodes.
The purchase DC given is for a box of 6 grenades.
Military and police forces use these
weapons to create temporary concealment. On the round when it is thrown, a
smoke grenade fills the four squares around it with smoke. On the following round, it fills all squares within 10 feet, and on the third round it fills all squares within 15 feet. The smoke obscures all sight, including the darkvision ability granted by night vision goggles. Any creature within the area has total concealment (attacks suffer a 50% miss chance, and the attacker can't use sight to locate the target). It disperses after 10 rounds, though a moderate wind (11+ mph) disperses the smoke in 4 rounds and a strong wind (21+ mph) disperses it in 1 round.
Smoke grenades are available in several colors, including white, red, yellow, green, and purple. As such, they can be used as signal devices.
The purchase DC given is for a box of 6 grenades.
Military and police forces use these
weapons to disperse crowds and
smoke out hostage takers. On the round that it is thrown, a
tear gas grenade fills a 5-foot radius with a cloud of irritant that causes eyes to fill with tears. On the following round, it fills a 10-foot radius, and on the third round it fills a 15-foot radius. It disperses after 10 rounds, though a moderate wind (11+ mph) disperses the
smoke in 4 rounds and a strong wind (21+ mph) disperses it in 1 round.
A character caught in a cloud of tear gas must make a Fortitude save (DC 15) or be nauseated. This effect lasts as long as the character is in the cloud and for 1d6 rounds after he or she leaves the cloud. Those who succeed at their saves but remain in the cloud must continue to save each round. A gas mask renders the target immune to the effects. A wet cloth held over the eyes, nose, and mouth provides a +2 bonus on the Fortitude save.
The purchase DC given is for a box of 6 grenades.
Thermite does not technically explode. Instead, it creates intense heat meant to burn or melt through an object upon which the grenade is set. Military forces use
thermite grenades to quickly destroy key pieces of equipment.
