[DL] Re: D20 Demolitions Skill

[Michael Robert Blair <pellinoire@yahoo.com>]

Patrick, agreed in part.

Chemistry for cooking up a batch of explosives - I
would probably make Chemistry the skill for doing this
- with a Synergy from Demolitions 5+ kicking in -
"that don't smell right."

In earlier times a gunner would be expected to mix his
own components - early gunpowder would separate out so
was often mixed on the spot but by the 19th century he
would just buy it (GURPS High Tech has some amusing
notes on this) so I would split making explosives from
using it.

But for actually placing the explosives to best effect
I would still go for Physics or another applicable
skill (Biology for a big ass monster?).
