Check: Setting a simple explosive to blow up at a certain spot doesn't require a check, but connecting and setting a detonator does. Also, placing an explosive for maximum effect against a structure calls for a check, as does disarming an explosive device. Set Detonator: Most explosives require a detonator to go off. Connecting a detonator to an explosive requires a Demolitions check depending on the strength of an explosive as shown on table below. Failure means that the explosive fails to go off as planned. Disarm Explosive Device: Disarming an explosive that has been set to go off requires a Demolitions check with the same DC as setting a detonator. If the character fails the check, he or she does not disarm the explosive.

Explosive Category	Demolition DC
Improvised	10
Simple	15
Moderate	20
Complex	25
Powerful	30
Devastating	35
Destructive	40
Mass Destruction	50
Anhihilation	60

Place Explosive Device: Carefully placing an explosive against a fixed structure (a stationary, unattended inanimate object) can maximize the damage dealt by exploiting vulnerabilities in the structure's construction. If you beat the explosive DC while placing it, the explosive will deal double damage to the structure. On a failure, the explosive deal normal damage.

Total Success: Place Explosive Device: Your explosive deals another x2 damage to the structure.

Total Failure: Set Detonator: Total Failure means the explosive goes off as the detonator is being installed. The explosion attacks with a bonus equal to your rotf. Disarm Explosive Device: Total Failure means the explosive goes off. The explosion attacks with a bonus equal to your rotf. Place Explosive Device: The structure increased its hardness by 1 point per rotf against your explosive.

Action: Setting a detonator is usually a full-round action. Placing an explosive device takes 1 minute or more, depending on the scope of the job.
