Lack of self damage on explosives would make them far too powerful, as they would be the weapons dealing incredulous amounts of damage with no drawback whatsoever. Large AoE? Check. High damage? Check. No self damage? Check. Easy to mod for? Check.

And that's how you make the game unbalanced. The tonkor is kind of like the outlier here. Incredible damage, extremely easy to mod for, VERY low MR requirement, no self damage, and pretty much one of the easiest weapons to use in the game. Point, click, click, reload, rinse and repeat.

[BTW, explosives are not meant to be used in close combat]
