I'm of two minds about the Bomber. On one hand, I -in general- like the
concept, and am gald that BNW is breaking into 'new powers'. On the other
hand... to quote the movie "Murder by Death": Is stupid! Is most stupid
thing I have ever heard!

Ths is a power thta might be fine for a really anoying villain or something
to have, but I can't see it as being anything but dangerous to be a part of
a team. My players have started recycling a bunch of bad jokes from
elementary school about bombers (what do you call a bomber who's blown up
his arms and legs and is now reduced to hanging on a wall? Art. What do you
call a bomber who's blown up his arms and legs and has been covered by a
pile of leaves? Pete. etc.), and the Genius of the group has started coming
up with "possible uses for a bomber" (tape him to a door, use him as a
breaching charge. Build a trebuchet and hurl him towards the enemy. And so
forth). In short, my players don't respect the Bomber package, and I'm
inclined to agree with them. They're just too dangerous to be around. For
example... let's say somebody learns a secret ID or two.. .and one of them
is a bomber. If a sniper hits a bomber, BOOM! Sure, the bomber might be
able to pull himself back together, but anybody with him will be in the
area of effect.
