>In my last session, I had enemy "seals" - don't know the more neutral
>term in English :( - swim to the PC's luxury boat, place magnetic bombs
>(three) on the hull, each bomb the size of an orange, and I ruled that
>each bomb gave 14D damage, easily enough to puncture the hull under our
>house rules.
>Question is, do there exist any explosive, that can be used in the
>field - ie, is not too unstable :) - which generate this massive damage
>in such a small quantum?
>
>As I lateron introduced mines of the same size, I'd appreciate some
>military knowledge on 1. how damaging an "orange" actually can be, 2.
>how far shock waves in the water would be lethal, ie damage
>codes/ranges.

>Now we're at it, what about something the size of a honey dew melon,
>and last, something the size of a nice, wellshaped standard melon?
>
>An additional question related to the above; what would be the
>concealability in water of the same colour, if the latter matters?
