Demolitions [Int; Trained Only; Technical Proficiency only]
Use this skill to set and detonate explosive charges.
Check
Arming a prepared explosive doesn't require a check. You must make a Demolitions check to set or place an explosive charge. The DC depends on the complexity of the explosive device, and you can take 10 if you have the time.
| Device | Time | DC | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple | 1 round | 10 | Set a personnel mine or other preset explosive device |
| Tricky | 1d4 rounds | 15 | Place a plastic explosive charge to blow a door |
| Difficult | 2d4 rounds | 20 | Place a plastic explosive charge to blow the turbofan off a hovertank |
| Wicked | 2d8 rounds | 25 | Place a plastic explosive charge to knock out a bridge |
Try Again
Varies. The DM may rule that in a given situation, failure causes you to accidentally set off the explosive device.

If the device is armed or programmed electronically and you have the Use Device skill, you get a +2 synergy bonus.
