Ability Type: Su

Prerequisites: -

Benefit: When preparing their bombs for the day, the alchemist can drink the components of one of their bombs, mixing them within their own body. Then, as a standard action, they can expel the swallowed bomb as a breath weapon that affects a 15-foot cone (a 3x3 square area that shares an edge or corner with the alchemist's space). The alchemist makes a Ranged Touch Attack against each enemy creature in the affected area. Any enemy hit takes full damage from the bomb. Missed creatures take no damage.

Unlike throwing normal bombs, drawing, drinking, and expelling breath weapon bombs does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Only one bomb may be prepared as a breath weapon at any one time. The bomb remains viable in the belly of the Alchemist until the Alchemist takes a full night's rest, at which time, if unused, the bomb expires in a protracted bout of eye-wateringly horrible flatulence. While an alchemist with this discovery may not drink a bomb in mutagen form, they may drink it before-hand and use it while in mutagen form.

Note: This is a 'bomb modifier' discovery, and may not be combined with any other 'bomb modifier' discoveries, until the alchemist learns the Eureka Bombs class feature at level 17.
