About Bombs

Bombs may be explosive or incendiary. Explosive devices use a liquid, powder, or solid explosive material, and are classified by the speed at which the explosive material reacts to fire: high explosives react faster than the speed of sound, causing a loud detonation; and low explosives burn slower, must be confined to explode (the detonation is called "deflagration" because it occurs at a rate slower than the speed of sound), and are best used as propellants. In contrast, incendiary devices are flammable and intended to start fires.[1]

In the Dungeon

In the Dungeon, explosive and incendiary devices are generally unstable and deteriorate every time they are handled or removed from inventory. If a device is lit and then placed into inventory, it will still be lit when it is removed from inventory.[2] Devices handled in Safe Rooms are labelled as Inert While in Safe Room, with their real (still-deteriorating) status stated in parenthesis.[3]

After reaching level 5 in the Explosives Handling Skill, crawlers can view an explosive device's "Status," which is a numerical value representing how close the item is to detonation.[2]
