I've been trying to work out a new class call alchemist who basically mixes potions that do damage and throws them. They also have some spell, but are limited by science. Help please.

What do you have so far?

I think their most dependent ability score should be wis. or int. For spells per day, I'm thinking 1st level alchemist 2 1st level spell and 12nd level spell, not including bonus spells. Potions you have to have a Int or Wis of 10 plus potion level to prepare, and they need items to make them. possible 1st level spell strengthen weapon +1 damage. 1st level potion potion of energy (drink not throw) +10ft. of movement. Tell me what you think Siosilvar.

Consider looting the Pathfinder Alchemist (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/alchemist). Or just using it.

No. 2nd level spells come in at 3rd level for a reason.

Hrm... what it sounds to me like you want is a refluffed Cleric class. Preparing spells, Magic Weapon, Longstrider...

what makes this different from taking levels in Cleric and calling casting spells as various alchemical substances?

I find that the first step to homebrewing is being lazy. Rather than go to all the work of creating a new class, see if you can refluff a class you know about or find a new class that does what you want.

Okay. Sure.
