View Full Version : Any way to get the alchemist's throw anything feature without being an alchemist?

As the title states, I'm looking for a way to get throw anything, specifically the int mod to splash damage, without dipping into alchemist if possible. I have not managed to turn up anything through searching yet. Sadly variant multicasting does not grant it, it explicitly gives the bombs without the damage bonus. Are there any feats I missed, or magic items or similar that would give the same bonus?

Try this lists of stuff (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?454553)
Not sure about what you want specifically, but it may be there.

Presumably for Pathfinder 1st edition...
Sort of Firebrand Gunslinger (https://aonprd.com/ArchetypeDisplay.aspx?FixedName=Gunslinger%20Fireb rand) though it is charisma based, doesn't actually get the feat but does get +int Underground Chemist Rogue (https://aonprd.com/ArchetypeDisplay.aspx?FixedName=Rogue%20Undergroun d%20Chemist). The spell Targeted Bomb Admixture (https://aonprd.com/SpellDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Targeted%20Bomb%20Admix ture) is sort of the same as well.
Basically, not without dipping that I can find.

What are you starting with? There are similar things like Champion Medium that give a similar effect, but not explicitly +int.

I'm playing a Technician (Spheres of Might). Using the Alchemy Sphere I've picked up the ability to create bombs with a similar scaling to the Alchemist's bombs, but without the int mod to damage I've found it somewhat lackluster. I could eventually take a dip into Alchemist, or one of the other archetypes you specified but I am trying to avoid that if at all possible. But it is seeming like it is not.

I am not familiar with the Spheres of Power stuff (typically stick to paizo material), but if its the Improved Formulas for Acid Flask/Alchemical Fire/Bottled Lightning... well I was going to suggest a Hybridization Funnel (https://aonprd.com/MagicWondrousDisplay.aspx?FinalName=Hybridization% 20Funnel) but upon further review, none of the formula can be modified by such.
Those improved formula do more area damage on average than bombs... Full damage direct target, half damage within 5' (or full damage if you increase the craft DC by 10), and 1/die for 5'-10'(or half if you increase the DC by 10, or full if you increase the DC by 20), etc.
