In Pathfinder, is the Alchemist class capable of using Two-Weapon Fighting with bombs? If no, does the Fast Bombs discovery change this?

Preparing and throwing a bomb is a standard action, so only one per round could be thrown.

However, the Fast Bombs discovery allows you to make multiple attacks per round and apply all the relevant feats, spells or abilities. This is also explicitly covered by the official FAQ section.

Out of curiosity, how effective is this? I've had horrible experiences with alchemy in 4e and I'm wondering if it's the effective equivalent of "Gil Toss" in Pathfinder. – Brian Ballsun-Stanton♦ Mar 30 '11 at 2:37
I didn't know there was an FAQ on the product page. Thanks. – MadMAxJr Mar 30 '11 at 3:32
@Brian Ballsun-Stanton: +1 for the Gil Toss. – Erik Burigo Mar 30 '11 at 6:51
@MadMAxJr: Me neither (I found it while searching the answer to your question) ^_^ – Erik Burigo Mar 30 '11 at 6:52
@Biran Bombs are one of an alchemist's "X per day" abilities, and have no actual gold piece cost. So throwing them two-handed burns through your daily resources quickly, buy doesn't cost you anything. Likewise, their extracts (spells) mostly don't have a gold cost. – Bobson Aug 25 '11 at 20:36
