Reckless Akitonian Scientist

A reckless scientist carries the following infused items: 2 Acid Flask (Moderate), 2 Alchemist's Fire (Moderate), 1 Bomber's Eye Elixir (Lesser), 3 Elixir of Life (Lesser), and 2 Frost Vial (Moderate). These items last for 24 hours, or until the next time the scientist makes their daily preparations.

When an attacker scores a critical hit against the reckless scientist, one of the scientist's poorly stowed alchemical items bursts. The GM determines the item randomly. If it was a bomb, the scientist takes damage from the bomb, and any creature adjacent to the scientist takes the splash damage. Any other item is simply wasted.

The reckless scientist Interacts to draw a bomb, then Strikes with it.

Requirements The reckless scientist is holding a bomb or elixir

Effect The reckless scientist combines the bomb with another bomb or the elixir with another elixir. They can Interact to draw a second bomb or elixir if necessary as part of this action. They attempt a DC 28 crafting check, destroying both component items to create one new item. If a viable resulting item isn't used by the end of the scientist's next turn, it explodes as described under critical failure.
