Bomb Surgeon Skill

Bomb Surgeon..allowed me to basically take a stick of dynamite and cut it into pieces, making smaller, less potent bombs. [1]

The Bomb Surgeon Skill is a skill that allows a crawler to (a) deconstruct bombs to salvage their component parts, and (b) cut sticks of dynamite into smaller pieces to make weaker bombs.[1]

Description

Bomb Surgeon skill allows a user to cut apart sticks of dynamite to make smaller bombs or deconstruct smoke bombs to utilize the individual parts for traps. [1]

At Level 1, a crawler can deconstruct Goblin Smoke Bombs, "feel the depth of the blasting cap" (the detonator) in dynamite, and sense how close a piece of dynamite is to detonating prematurely without checking the description.[2]

Story

SPOILERS FOR BOOK 3

Carl practices this skill on the Fourth Floor by taking apart several fused Hob-lobbers. Since he is standing at his Sapper's Table, the bombs do not degrade at all, allowing him to cut sticks apart or bundle them together. [3]
