I am playing Spheres of Might (in an actually ongoing campaign for a couple weeks now), specifically as a Scholar (doctor), which makes my allies immune to my alchemical explosions. I've been eying the Improved Fuse Grenades (http://spheresofpower.wikidot.com/alchemy#toc26) as a means of keeping my party safe, since we've got exactly one frontline. This only just became relevant due to the fact that we finally faced intelligent enemies.
So, basic idea is this: fuse grenades do a ton of damage for their level, but is avoidable by just moving. Well, if they can't move in a way that both keeps them out of the area, and still attack our squishy innards, then they just straight up can't attack, or they get blown to bits. Of course, you always leave an opening for them to attack (ie the tank), so that they feel like they are doing something.
So that's the plan. I need help in finding all the pieces that'd make this idea really shine.
So, first is the Grenade Expert (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/grenade-expert/), so I can choose when they go off rather than rolling (also knock off 4 levels until the area denial per grenade is 20ft2).
The Barrage Sphere lets me lay down two grenades in one action, and one more with Spinning Shot (http://spheresofpower.wikidot.com/barrage#toc9), since I'm targeting different squares. EDIT: strike that, I didn't read the Improved Fuse Grenades closely enough. It takes a full standard action to light and throw them. It's not just an attack, like the others....if I'm interpreting that correctly. Very good on the writers there. Is there a way to circumvent this restriction?
Tanglefoot Bag Tricks (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/equipment-trick-combat/) with Improved Tanglefoot Bag (http://spheresofpower.wikidot.com/alchemy#toc29) is nice for when I've already laid down my area denial, and just want to assure the damage on them.
...and that's all I've got. Is there any more I can layer on?
