Essential ingredients, especially plants, can be hard to find, and a bombardier must work for money or favors if she’s to continue practicing her craft.
Though the military and slavers are loath to employ these unpredictable duergar, bombardiers can be very effective when subtlety is not required. Though most bombardiers wouldn’t hurt their own kind—the bonds of kin and law are too strong—they often inadvertently kill potential slaves instead of capturing them.Creatures in "Duergar" Category
