Alchemist that can disable Magical traps?


Advice

The Exchange

I'm looking for an alchemist archtype that can disable magical traps... is there one?


Preservationist. kidding

The Crypt Breaker can do this. There's also an archetype coming out in the Dungeoneer's Handbook that will probably be able to do this as well.


Technically, can't anyone with Dispel Magic or Dispelling Bomb do so?

As Cheapy said, Crypt Breaker gets the trapfinding ability.

LOL! yeah, maybe. Not sure if a Trap is a legal target for a bomb.

and I want this for a 4th level PC I'm starting - He'll play up to maybe 7th level.

Technically, yes.

However, dispelling requires more resources and can be much more difficult to succeed at.

checking Crypt Breaker now... what books it in.

OH! and thanks!


It's from Inner Sea Magic


I can't wait for the Dungeoneer's Handbook...

& Crypt Breaker is nice.

Also, PFS Field Guide has a second level extract called Aram Zey's Focus
Gives you 1/2 level of trapfinding, or a +5 Disable Device competence bonus if you already have trapfinding.

I have 2nd level PFS Cryptbreaker. He really came in handy at a Con I just attended. Didn't have a rogue type at the table, but I was able to pick locks just fine. You lose the mutagen, but I just picked it back up at level 2. Shouldn't be an issue with you since your starting at level 4.

went to lunch (getting away from work let's me access the d20srd) and it looks like I'll be picking up an "Inner Sea Magic". This will work great for my guy - though he's going to be from Ustalav (running him in the second part of Carrion Crown).

I plan on making him (or her) Varisian, and a student/acidimic from the University of Lepidstadt. Kind of funny, I built the background before I picked the class... anyway,

Thanks everyone!
