Playing around with the alchemist class at early levels.
(sorry for the poor layout)
25 point buy.
Str 20(17 start + 2 human + 1 level)
Dex 14
Con 14
Int 14
Wis 11
Cha 7
Build highlights:
Human(favored class alchemist)
1: barbarian 1 - power attack, improved shield bash
2: alchemist 1
3: alchemist 2 - vestigial arm x2 (extra discovery)
4: alchemist 3
5: alchemist 4 - frost bomb, spontaneous healing(extra discovery)
formulae: enlarge person, bull's strength, (more)
gear: mithral breast plate, +1 bashing spiked heavy steel shield
Before combat:
- mutagen
- enlarge person
- bull's strength
First round:
step 1: rage
step 2: charge with shield bash
step 3: profit!... I mean victory!
Total strength: 34 (20 Base + 4 enhancement + 4 alchemical + 4 morale + 2 size) +12 modifier.
charge numbers:
80 ft.
Attack: +16 = (+4 BAB + 12 STR + 2 charge - 1 size + 1 enhancement(weapon) - 2 power attack)
Damage: 3d6 + 25 (1 enhancement + 18 STR(twohanded) + 6 power attack)
(The two-handed usage of shields and the 2d6 damage(bashing+spikes) are allowed.)
Are my numbers right? How would you change/improve this?
The Vivisectionist replaces bombs with sneak attack - but I love bombs(you know, like all alchemists).
The vestigial arms don't really contribute, I just love extra limbs. At later level, I want tentacle, I might still switch frost bomb for it...
