[Drop Dead Studios] Spheres of Might Open Playtest

[Geigan]

How does Vital Strike interact with the splash weapons from the Alchemy sphere? As I understand it you can use it with these weapons, but only the initial list dice would be considered base damage dice and any additional dice from higher craft alchemy would be considered a "damage bonus" for the purpose of the feat. Do I have that right or am I completely off base?

I think I'll bump my question here since it got the tail end on the last page and I feel probably got swept by in the new turn in the discussion. Just want to make sure I understand how this interaction works. Trying to figure out if Vital Strike is a good recommendation for our resident Scholar/Sniper considering the base damage of the related splash weapons. I'm leaning on no if my interpretation is correct, but I figured I'd make sure if I was correct or not first.
