[QUOTE="Mojo_Rat, post: 5477373, member: 71846"] no. using my example earlier of the 5d6+7 bomb. you would do 48 damage to a large creature using this view of the rules. the max dmage if a direct hit is only 42. where I'n the wording of the bit I linked does it suggest a creature is hit multiple times. it says alll creatures I'n the splash area get hit. but not hit multiple times.. it does not indicate multiple hits to a single creature at all. look. as I have said several times the game has internal logic. it follows and one of those internal logic rules is creatures get hit by effects once not per area of an effect they ocupy. well go back to my bomb thrower. he's lvl 10 has swift bombs and is basted. he's fighting a dragon. does he throw 3 bombs at the dragon? or splash it 3 times using thus flawed view of the dukes he would have no reason to target the dragon. just splash it fir 148 damage. I stead of 15d6 +21. this view is horribly flawed. splash damage hits a target 1 time per bomb. so using the actual rules he could splash our dragon for 36 damage or hit it directly with all 3 bombs. but I'm done with this argument, since you are not getting it. ask the question on paizos rules forum and the answer will be the same as mine.
