Okay so here is my homebrew idea for an item for Alchemists. The Bomb Launcher.
Effects wise it allows Alchemists to load/fire out the number of bombs he can throw in a single turn, up to a range of 60ft before falloff makes you take penalties.
How it looks: A roughly 3 foot tube, much like a scroll case, made of either bronze, copper, mithril, steel, or wood (depending on what properties you want it to have HP and Hardness wise). It has one open end where you load your bombs, on the right side of the launcher is a small metal socket, that fits a Air Elemental Gem. Once the gem is in the socket, a gold "lid" is put over the socket and locked with four latches. From the bottom of this gem case are two medium sized copper segmented tubes, going down the side of the launcher, towards the rear and connects directly into the rear of the launcher. On top of the gems "lid" is a small rune, when the wielder presses two fingers on it and utters a command word, air rushes from the closed socket gem, down the tubes into the rear and expelled forward launching whatever bombs are inside.
Listed price would be roughly 3500 gold, possibly more or less depending on feedback.
Anyways so this is my first idea attempt for a homebrew item to be usable in a pathfinder setting, made just for Alchemists, or possibly any other character that would use thrown splash weapons that could fit properly into the launcher.
