Someone set you up the bomb.

Also rest easy.. bombs aren't the only way to truly destroy buildings.

Just means now you need to get more creative is all.

all your base now belong to us

You can rest easy knowing that Quin along with many others is part of the reason this happened.

*cast fireball*
a heck of a lot cheaper too!

Fireballs basically a Flash-flame, while it'll do fire type damage, there's no concussive force to it.

why did you not just say " the mass amount of rain wets the gun powder stoping it from sparking and blowing up"

That makes people feel more cheated - pulling a Deus ex Machina that blatantly doesn't please anyone

sometimes you have to, seeing how you can kill NPC and do damage to towns, to players you cant do anything

you could just run around throw bombs at buildings forcing disco have rebuild every town with about 1 line of text, now whos more cheated the players/DMs and disco for having to waste thier time with something that has no plot other then I'm rich and I can, or the person because they did not get ROFLSTOMP the building/town for no reason?

Or just remove the bombs from stock, and just say that he ran out of stock and it just wasn't cost effective to sell them with increased storage costs?

Plenty of OOC griping has also ensued from such things as well, since the DMs "ruined" their plot because they didn't play smokepowder as being OMGWTFBBQ as far as explosive potential goes.

This was done because of an annoying trend of "let's just blow XXXXX up" kind of RP. People would buy enourmous amounts of fire barrels or explosive bags, and expect to be able to use them to demolish just about anything.

why not have it cost an exorbitant amount? Gold sink?

"The Mossad acts quickly and hits you with a rocket when you are transporting your explosives towards your target. You are very dead and are in no position to complain. Shalom!"

That's like if you just one day removed great swords from the game, "you're a great sword weaponmaster?" "too bad, those never existed!"

Because bombs don't exist in the Realms, simply enough.

The IC reason actually is that Oghma got pissed at Gond, because his invention that was only supposed to stay on Lantan and not spread to general use, was suddenly being mass-produced on Amia. Lord Binder decided the world was not ready for the idea of demolition, so he chose to take the idea away from men and spank some Gond buttock in the process.

Amia is situated within the Realms, so one of our top priorities should be (and is) to maintain immersion and the appropriate RP atmosphere. There were other reasons, of course (blowing stuff up is just lame and troublesome), but this was the dealbreaker for me.

If we had Explosives in the forgotten reals, We would have had Rifles 'n Guns 'n things that use such things. Black powder, for Example.

BUT Since i haven't found any weapons like these in-Game, or in any place in Faerun, I would say that they had a Pretty Valid excuse to remove them.

Logically.

Do tell thought if you find a merchant that sell you a rifle.

It would have been a lot easier just to say "Because of mining shortages is the far far away land where firebombs and powder kegs are produced, the powders and chemicals in [explosives] have been serverly watered down to be able to keep up with demand. While still being just as available as before and just as numerous, they are a fraction of their former power, being no more than firey, though still dangerous, poofs."
