Pathfinder - Vivisectionist Mad Bomber

[Oudyn]

I would like to create a Pathfinder Alchemist using the vivisectionist archetype and the bomb discover allowing me to sneak attack with bombs. I am also considering using the chameleon ability if would work while not in mutagen form. I am open to most races. I am also thinking of taking one level of Master Chymist for bomb thrower. If you could give build advice or provide me with a build it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Oudyn

I just can't do it captain. Vivisectionist trades their ability to throw bombs for sneak attack, and sneak attack can't be applied to splash weapons like bombs.

Ah, I was under the impression that the "Bomb" discovery from Ultimate Magic allowed you to regain the use of the bomb ability. I can't find anything mentioning that you can't sneak attack with bombs, though it does make sense.
EDIT: Just checked, there isn't a discovery allowing you to regain the use of bombs.

You could always Throw... Alchemist fires and Holy waters in place of Bombs @ Levels 1-5 but eventually they will become weak-sauce.

Splash weapons cannot deal precision-based damage (such as the damage from the rogue's sneak attack class feature).
