Are Kobold Throwers Alchemists ?

[Alrik_Fassbauer]

Hello,

I've been wondering for years what class might be the Kobold Throwers.

They don't fit into any class I know.

Now, with the Alchemist class coming, I did wonder whether they are actually Alchemists.

they throw things which explode and do damage - mostly fire damage, I think, but I'm not sure.

Where and how could they have been making these things they throw ? And - what ARE these things actually, they always throw ?

Questions and more questions ...

They seem to craft and throw Molotov cocktail like simple weapons. Alchemy is deeper. I am sure any race can be alchemist btw. Learning mechanics and production doesnt require the character to be genius. Some intellect and ability to catch the craftsmanship is enough.

If we translate t to DDO 12-14 intelligence and 12-14 wisdom and most probably 12-14 constitution (endurance) for hand crafting.

I always assumed they were throwing flaming poo at us.

I think the combat log from The Anniversary Party proves me right : https://imgur.com/a/WsOaWz3

They throw them but they dont necessarily MAKE them, so no I dont think Alch. An alch kobold could make alchemical fire and then use it to arm the throwers. There are thrown vial weapons that anyone can use.

If you wanted to class them - I guess they'd be Fighters, just by default since all they do is fight.
