I need to confirm that I am properly understanding the formulae book and the number of extracts per day for my alchemist.
For reference, my Alchemist has an Intelligence of 19 and a modifier of 4.
**Extracts per Day**
According to the Advanced Players Guide, the Alchemist can brew 1 extract per day plus additional extracts equal to their INT modifer. So I would be able to brew and carry up to 5 extracts each day.
**Formulae Book**
The guide says that I can know any number of formulae, but just like a wizard with a spellbook, I only know those that are written in my Formulae Book. For my character at first level I can have 6 formulae written in my formulae book. That is 2 plus my INT mod. So what I do is go to the CRB and the APG and choose 6 level 1 Alchemist spells. Those are my known spells.
**Brewed Extracts**
Each day, I choose 5 extracts from my list of 6 known spells that I wish to brew and carry with me.
**Advancement**
Finally, at each level I can choose an additional spell for a level that I can brew for. I can also add spells that I find along the way during the adventure.
Please let me know if anything sounds wrong.
Thanks
No, your Extracts per Day (and thus Brewed Extracts) are 2: 1 + bonus extracts from Intelligence (not Intelligence Modifier).
See this Chart (it's also in the first 20 pages of the Core Rulebook).
Also important is that you can "save" extracts and spend 1 minute to brew an extract later in the day, instead of all at the beginning. So you could brew one of cure light wounds in the morning, and spend one minute later that day to brew any of your 6 known formulae into an extract.
Ah. Well that makes a pretty big difference. :-)
Thank you for the clarification.
