Your experiments have advanced to the point where you can retain more control over yourself while in your mutagen form.

Ability Type: Ex

Prerequisites: Mutagen class feature

Benefit: When you consume a dose of mutagen, instead of the standard template, you may instead use the following template when you transform:

Melee Attacks (Some Ranged)
CR 1 CR 2 CR 3 CR 4 CR 5 CR 6 CR 7 CR 8 CR 9 CR 10
CR 11 CR 12 CR 13 CR 14 CR 15 CR 16 CR 17 CR 18 CR 19 CR 20
CR 21 CR 22 CR 23 CR 24 CR 25 CR 26 CR 27 CR 28 CR 29 CR 30
CR 31 CR 32 CR 33 CR 34 CR 35

This new form offers you a ranged attack, allowing you to throw bombs even as your body undergoes the constant transformations of the mutagen. You use the ranged touch attack to-hit number (listed in the special abilities section), and each ranged touch attack you make uses up one of your bombs for the day. Your bombs still have a range increment of 20 feet, with a maximum range of 100 feet. However, they now deal damage equal to the damage listed under the template's ranged attack, as fire (energy, common) damage.

You cannot use any bomb discoveries, feats, or other abilities which are normally available to you outside of your mutagen form; only basic fire-based bombs can be used in this form. However, they deal significantly greater damage than normal, while you are transformed.
