Notes

• The quantity of this item's availability with traders can vary depending on level, however Quartermaster Talli appears to sell at least 2 Smokepowder Bombs.
• Smokepower Bombs cannot be crafted via Alchemy.
• In most cases, merely placing Smokepowder Bombs does not turn neutral creatures hostile; they can be used to set up challenging opponents for a fall.

Bugs

• A Smokepowder Bomb detonates and deals its damage when the bomb itself takes damage, regardless of source or type. Normally, this occurs when the thrown bomb hits something (as throw attacks damage the thrown object). However, the bomb is triggered multiple times if it takes damage from multiple sources at the same time. This can be achieved by stacking multiple damage rider effects that apply to  Throw attacks, such as  Lightning Charges or  Hunter's Mark. Each such effect causes the bomb to simultaneously explode an additional time. This can be used to devastating effect.
  • An example log of a Smokepowder Bomb triggered multiple times would be:

    Character used Throw on Cave-In.

    Smokepowder Bomb was hit for 8 Bludgeoning damage.

    Smokepowder Bomb was hit for 1 Lightning damage.

    Character destroyed Smokepowder Bomb.

    Smokepowder Bomb received 2 Bludgeoning damage from falling.

    Smokepowder Bomb received 1 Lightning damage from falling.

    Character blasted Cave-In for 32 Force damage.

    Character blasted Cave-In for 0 Lightning damage.

    Character blasted Cave-In for 37 Force damage.

    Character blasted Cave-In for 0 Lightning damage.

    • The Smokepowder bomb blasted twice: the first time provoking 32 Force damage, and the second time provoking 37 damage.
  • Another consequence of the detonation occurring when the bomb itself takes damage is that dragging a bomb out of an inventory and onto a  Fire surface (or any other surface that deals damage) causes the bomb to detonate immediately. Because dropping items does not use an action, this can be repeated as many times in the same turn as one has bombs (although some careful positioning or resistances may be required to prevent the character moving the bombs from blowing up).
• Unlike other grenades, Smokepowder Bombs do not display an impact radius when targeting a Throw.
