Yes it does, because in real life, if you throw a grenade at someone and theres people around them, it'll hurt the people around the person you throw it at. It's called Collateral Damage.               -Arbuckle


Yeah, we got that. Please re-read my post, specifically:
"Sometimes reality has to take a back seat to fairness"

Anywho, I see no reason why it couldn't be mob drops. Same as holy water, wooden stakes, etc.

I don't see why it should just be for gunmen.

Make them consumable items like Stakes, Silver Bullets and Holy Water. 

And yeah, use the animation and same general idea as smoke and flash bombs.


Bingo.

It should be both. An ability that needs you to get said item.

Obtain the ability through a quest *hint hint Rarebit* and kill mobs/other things for the grenades.

Grenades would be sweet - if balanced nicely.

I'd actually be quite interested to see a Demolitions Expert tree, but I don't imagine it happening anytime soon.

What about an awakened ability that allows you to use an assortment of throwing weapons?

I had this same idea. A grenadier would be awesome. You could use the same sytem that you use for the flash and smokebomb. and that would be nifty. But also like the top branch could be a mortar. where you'll launch grenades long range. And you can use the hyperjump system for that. That will allow you to pick out a target from a greater distance and hit them.

i think a small ability on the awakened tree that does the same damage as a silver bullet/steak/holy water (maybe a little less since it can affect multiple targets) would be perfectly feasible, with the item added also SMILEY

combine with flame virus affects and we have a winna!

I would just like to make the point that I don't want this game to turn into BF2 where you attack an outpost and about 10 grenades get thrown into the area, I can honestly tell you that this is all that'll happen. Also I don't really remember a scene in the matrix really used grenades
