Black Powder Grenade-2

Description

This is a slow-match fused "black bomb."  It takes one action to light the fuse and one action to throw the grenade.  The bomb will explode 1-3 turns after the fuse is lit (1D6÷2; this means the bomb may explode before the user can throw it — making it somewhat unpopular.  One way to skirt this problem is to have two people handling the grenade: a "loader" who lights the grenade and a "grenadier" who immediately throws it.
