Notes

• It has a 20% chance to overpower card-readers and thus open doors, however it also has a 40% chance of causing the card-reader to stop working.
• It breaks console terminals.
• Has a one in three chance to disable turrets completely, and a one in six chance to do the same to manhacks.
• Otherwise deals 10d10 (10-100) damage to robots.
• If a robot is still alive after the blast, it has a one in six chance to turn that monster friendly.
• Drains up to 40 power from the player's reserves, if they have bionic battery reserves.
• Empties the charge of all batteries in the blast (this includes any batteries dropped by dying robots!)
• Can be thrown blind around corners. wield the explosive, pull the pin, and peek (X) around the corner (in the sidebar a new option 'Press t to blind throw' should show up). Press throw and select the square you want to throw at, and throw the explosive around the corner.
