Okies, I'll post a few things to discuss about the class before the big reveal so to speak, just so I can make tweaks and work the current material.
So... Ichormancer is my Druid/Alchemist. It's been in progress for a little while now following the general theme 'alchemical ooze'. To achieve this, I've replaced the druid's 'Wild Shape' with an equivalent that turns them into an ooze. In addition to this, they're more competent in dealing with and creating oozes. Though there are a few things I'm struggling with;
1) The class has a variant of Nature Bond. They have the choice of a few domains as a druid does, and originally a pet like a druid, but I'm struggling between the second option being an ooze companion, some discoveries, or a new ability entirely.
2) I'm struggling to find a good replacement for 'A Thousand Faces', currently as a filler they replace this ability with Swift Alchemy and Swift Poisoning gained at level 13 instead.
3) Since a druid would normally gain Summon Nature's Ally and this class uses Alchemist Extracts instead of proper spell use, what do you guys think would work out to replace this? (not wanting to steal beast-brewer's main feature by keeping it and using potions to do so instead)
Also, since it's not exactly the MCA, I could post the custom Domains I plan to put in with this class now if you guys prefer? If not, they can wait until the real post.

3) Perhaps some form of Slime-Summoning? I've been working on a slime-summoning table for my Faceless Thrall, so, there could be abit of overlap there. Slimebros. Jolly Co-Operation. All that jazz.
Hmm, currently the class uses the 'Craft Ooze' crafting feat and the 'Create Ooze' alchemist discovery, allowing them to create 'summons', I guess I could make it so these skills replace Summon Nature's Ally and then whip up something new for the other abilities the class has

Here's the list of oozes that are currently craftable, with varying prices and the DC required for each.

And here's the main discovery I'm aiming to integrate into the Ichormancer.
By having the two, the Ichormancer can choose to pay to create certain oozes, or sacrifice extracts to summon them instead.

Also, gonna drop the domains here just so people can look over them. They're not class exclusive, more developed as compliments to the class. I do intend to use some of these for other MCA's, both past and future, and anybody is free to use them for their own MCA's of course!
OOZE DOMAIN
Granted Powers: You command the sickly powers over slimes, oozes and jellies, and can minupulate thier strange powers to hinder your foes.
Slimeball: As a standard action, you may fling a ball of slime towards an opponent within 30ft as a ranged touch attack. The slimeball does 1d6 of acid damage and causes targets to be sickened for one round (DC equal to 10 + 1/2 your cleric level + your Wisdom modifier). You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Ooze Companion: at 4th level, you gain the service of an Ooze companion (as an Ooze form of Giant Leech). Your effective druid level for this ooze companion is equal to your cleric level – 3. (Druids who take this ability through their nature bond class feature use their druid level – 3 to determine the abilities of their animal companions)
Domain Spells: 1st. Grease, 2nd. Vomit Twin, 3rd. Resinous Skin, 4th.Touch of Slime, 5th. Conjure Black Pudding, 6th. Flesh to Ooze, 7th. Creeping Doom (dimunitive sized oozes), 8th. Caustic Eruption. 9th. Shambler (as verdurous oozes)

You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Volcanic Gas: Once per day, you may crack the earth and cause volcanic fumes to rise up from it's depths. The cloud of gas functions like Fog Cloud, though it deals 2d6 fire damage when created (but not afterwards) and all those in it's cloud take 1d3 constitution damage as a poison effect unless they roll a Fortitude save (DC equal to 10 + 1/2 your cleric level + your Wisdom modifier).

Sorry that my comments are all pretty negative, but that which works out needs no comments.
OOZE DOMAIN
Granted Powers: You command the sickly powers over slimes, oozes and jellies, and can minupulate thier strange powers to hinder your foes.
Technically, oozes are perfectly healthy and not sickly. :o
Slimeball: As a standard action, you may fling a ball of slime towards an opponent within 30ft as a ranged touch attack. The slimeball does 1d6 of acid damage and causes targets to be sickened for one round (DC equal to 10 + 1/2 your cleric level + your Wisdom modifier). You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
This feels moe like a wizard school or sorcerer bloodline power. For a cleric,I'd remove the damage.
VOLCANIC DOMAIN (Druid Nature Domain)
...
Spit Magma: As a standard action, you may spit a blob of molten magma towards an opponent within 30ft as a ranged touch attack. The magma does 1d6 of fire damage and causes targets to take another 1d3 of damage each round if they do not clean it off. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Again, closer to what you'd expect for a sorcerer or wizard, but thematically fitting.
The condition you're looking for is catch on fire.
In this case, I'd not have the effect deal immediate damage, but instead require an action from the victim (or an ally) or the effect causes continuing damage. That's more clerical/controller-ish than straight damage.
Volcanic Gas: Once per day, you may crack the earth and cause volcanic fumes to rise up from it's depths. The cloud of gas functions like Fog Cloud, though it deals 2d6 fire damage when created (but not afterwards) and all those in it's cloud take 1d3 constitution damage as a poison effect unless they roll a Fortitude save (DC equal to 10 + 1/2 your cleric level + your Wisdom modifier).
The Con damage is excessive and should probably go.
SLIME SUBDOMAIN:
Replacement Powers: The following power replaces the Ooze Companion power of the Ooze Domain.
Sticky Patch: From level 8, As a standard action you can create a 30ft sticky patch of slime that entangles all foes within it's grasp, those who make a reflex save avoid the entanglement, but have 10ft less speed, if they then move back into the patch they may fall victim to entanglement again (DC equal to 10 + 1/2 your cleric level + your Wisdom modifier). The patch lasts a number of rounds equal to the Cleric's Wisdom midifier.
Too powerful. The web spell was seriously nerfed in Pathfinder, and this is better than web.
