Grenades

Grenades are handheld explosive devices introduced to Antares by the Londoners. While the concept of delivering explosives in a throwable form isn't entirely new—often achieved through slinging SPells or using crude, rudimentary versions—the Londoners have perfected and standardised these weapons. Their grenades offer a precise and reliable way to unleash destructive power, making them a valuable, though expensive, tool on the battlefield.

Using a Grenade

A Grenade can either be Thrown or it can be converted into traps in a form of Proximity Mines.

Throwing Grenade

When you take the Attack action, you can replace one of your attacks to either throw a grenade at a point up to 60 feet away or use a Grenade Launcher(1) to propel the grenade to a point up to 120 feet away. The grenade explodes at that point, creating a particular effect depending on the grenade's effect.

   When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks to either throw a Grenade at a point up to 60 feet away or use a Grenade Launcher to propel the grenade to a point up to 120 feet away. The grenade explodes at that point, creating the grenade effect.

Planting Grenade

You can convert your grenades to proximity mines, provided you are proficient with Tinker's Tools or Gunsmith's Tools.

Making the Mines For 1 hour, which can coincides with a Short Rest, you can convert a number of Grenades up to your Proficiency Bonus into a proximity mine using the aforementioned tools.

Planting the Mines As a Utilise action, you can plant them in the ground in your space. On the next turn, whenever a creature (includes you) enters a space within 15 feet of the proximity mine for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there, it explodes at that point, creating a particular effect depending on the grenade's effect.

It's obvious to observers that you're doing something when you take this Action.
