Things with the only purpose of which is to make your hands magically disappear. Or your flesh. Or your lungs. Your pick.

Explosives are complex beasts:

  • Explosives have a power value, which is used to determine the impact damage as well as the amount of noise.
  • Noise is equal to power * 2 if the explosive lights fires, or power * 10 if it does not.
  • If the explosive has a blast effect, the blast radius is equal to the square root of (power / 4), rounded down. The blast will deal damage to creatures equal to 3 * power at the blast origin, scaling down with distance. NPCs and Players will receive between 1/3 and the full damage value to each limb except the torso, which will receive between 0.5 and 1.5 times the original blast damage.
  • If the explosive lights fires then every square it impacts will light on fire.
  • Some explosives fire shrapnel shards, each of which deals 20-60 damage and flies a random distance in a random direction, up to the radius * 2. These can be incredibly deadly, even a single one impacting a player's torso or head is likely to end a player's life.
