Anyway, alchemy is risky business and to be honest, you most likely wouldn\'t be able to sell your bombs because it would either be so unstable that they would blow up in your backpack while going out to meet the monsters, or it wouldn\'t work at all. Alchemy isn\'t for supplying the market with weapons of mass destruction, it\'s for people who\'re curious as to researching things and finding new ways of making weapons, new metals, special ways of putting magic into metals (yes, alchemists will be able to do that) and so on.

You do know that we use an explosive liquid stored in the back of a car to travel
Besides you chuck glass cause you want it to spread liquid acid on the victim, a metal caseing would just be disolved by the acid.
well at least the alchemists won\'t have to much fun.

That sounds great, I\'d hoped the Alchemists would be real Alchemists in a way.

I\'d forgotten about the strips you can light with a match, I was thinking along the lines of a Magnesium Ribbon, haha, when those ribbons get hot enough... look away fast... Very unfair advantage I\'d say.

I\'m glad they will be in the game like this...
Also glad to hear glass is expensive, as it should be.

I was exploring around the character creation in PS and found something interesting. If you right-click the Ranged skill, it will display the following.

Ranged (3)

Used for: burning oil vial, crossbow, jalood [throwing axe], etc.

Yup, burning oil vial is the first one!

I don\'t think I\'d ever seen that, weird because I\'ve seen the descriptions of all skills there. I just err... missed it, when I read them I guess, I remember crossbows and the axe...
