Attaching character data for spreadsheet version 9.17a
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I don't believe this is a bug nor an oversight. The alchemist can later take discoveries that alter the damage dealt with a bomb, but can choose for the bomb to be fire or that other damage type in the moment. To prevent any confusion, the bonus to an alchemist bomb damage is not calculated in with regards to the Pyromaniac racial trait. If you check the ability on your back character sheet, you'll notice the * at the end of the different parts of that ability. An * indicates that the ability is calculated in to the numbers shown. The part of Pyromaniac that states it's increase in bomb fire damage notably doesn't have this * .
