PFS Tiefling Alchemist (vivi) / Magus build


Advice


I snuck in under the deadline for a Tiefling in PFS and have an idea. Along the lines of having the demonic blood from a succubi and originally trying to rid herself of the demonic traits through alchemy (think hank mcCoy/Beasts accident) instead enhanced her abilities and she thus gave up in that field of research.
Swapping Vestigial Wings & Prehensile Tail for alternative racial traits.

It appears the beastmorph and vivisectionist archtypes stack. I saw mention in other threads of a whip magus which i could have fun with but maybe barbarian or rogue would be better? am open to ideas of other melee characters. I have never played a melee character before so much wisdom is appreciated! ^_^


Vivisectionist is not a PFS legal archetype. Quite a ways near the bottom for Ultimate Magic legal archetypes.

Ah i see it there, okay not a problem. Its my second PFS character behind an elven archer cleric, relatively new to this still so thank you!


You may want to check out brawler archetype, Mutagentic thing when it comes out. Supposed to be a batman bane type build it could be fun with a tiefling.

Where can i find information on this up and coming archetype?

Oh boy, the fun I could have with that and my Tom Hardy impression. :)


If i wanted to mainly use the 2 claw natural weapon attacks the 2 levels of alchemist would be good for feral mutagen correct? I just don't know off hand how to improve upon the 1d4 damage from them. or what other class to take to be effective. blarg.

You can easily run a non Vivi Beastmorph Alchemist, and honestly I suggest it because Beastmorph/Vivi is too powerful for normal games (trust me, I know.) Regular Beastmorph with your bombs as crowd control to start things off before you wade into melee (force bombs are great to trip with, tanglefoot keeps people in place, etc), and you really should avoid multiclassing with either Alch or Magus, as they both like their own progressions too much and don't get a lot from splashing each other.

Check out my guide if you have some time, it'll give you even more advice on building a 'hyde' style character.


saving alchemist for a non PFS character after much thought. I do like your guide, quite handy for a newbie to the class!
