Alchemists have the option to choose Alchemical Zombie (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/alchemist/discoveries/paizo---alchemist-discoveries/alchemical-zombie-su) as one of their discoveries. No where in the ability description does it classify the ability as evil, as with most undead creation abilities, and the only reference to animate dead is to indicate the number of undead you can control. Could a neutral or even good alchemist use this without fear of potentially turning evil?
As a follow-up, when applying the zombie template (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/templates/zombie), can variants of the base template be used by the Alchemist?
Another question has popped in my head, is there any way to increase your effective alchemist level for the purposes of discoveries? I plan on taking Master Chymist at some point but have contemplated getting Elixir of Life (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/alchemist/discoveries/paizo---alchemist-discoveries/elixir-of-life). Other than only taking 4 levels of Chymist, is there any other way to get this discovery?
