Explosives

This page serves as a guide to proper use of explosives and incendiary elements, specifically as it applies to roleplaying on World 42. Any valuable contributors are welcome to add, especially as new content is released in-game.

The Basic Concept of Explosives
An explosive is any material that, when ignited or otherwise activated, produces a forceful and brief expansion of heat and gasses. Explosives are useful as both a tool and weapon in our world, but are volatile and dangerous as they exist in Gielinor. Common explosives that can be found in Gielinor include: Black powder, Nitroglycerin (apparent), and various compressed gasses. Explosives can be deadly in three primary ways: Explosives may also be used to level buildings, clear rubble, or create holes in walls.
 * Encasement in a vessel such that, upon detonation of the explosive compound within, would fragment the container and send it's pieces flying as shrapnel.
 * Detonation within sufficient range of the target to inflict death/injury via blast overpressure.
 * Detonation in such a place in relation to the target as to cause death/injury by falling debris or structural collapse.
