PC Are Molotovs considered explosives?

[Kyonshi]

And therefore can they have their damage boosted by putting points into Demo Expert?

I see them as incendiary weapons and not explosives, but I could be wrong. And also since we can craft them without putting points into any skill, I tend to think they're not considered explosives and that the only way to boost the damage is to read the Fireman's Almanac that lengthens the burning effect.

yes, they fell under DE

Do explosive arrows/bolts also count as explosives?

negative.  they scale under archery.

Does archery increase the explosion damage or just the direct hit?

I've not tested that.
