Investigator as Master Chymist?


Advice


Hey guys, I really dig the Investigator as a class, and love the Empiricist and Mastermind archetypes. The Empiricist reminds me of like a Mr Spock or Data type character (in fact, android empiricist is pretty much Lt Data...anyways) and the Mastermind, although not the strongest archetype, is incredibly flavorful...since I am playing in Carrion Crown and Council of Thieves I thought this class would be a legit choice for a backup in either setting.

I absolutely LOVE the concept of the Master Chymist as well, and I was wondering if you guys had any thoughts on creating an Empiricist or Mastermind Investigator with the intent of being a Master Chymist...does this work, do you foresee any issues, any suggestions for feats and traits? I know it will be less than optimal as opposed to being a straight Alchemist, and offhand I think I'd have to wait to 8th level to snag Master Chymist...

We are still first lvl in Council of THieves, but approaching 7th in Carrion Crown and my Sandman Bard is teetering on the edge of being wormfood, so I'd probably plan on him being 6th level.

Thanks guys!


The Master chymist need to have either feral mutagen or infusion mutagen discoveries. And you seem to be able to get the last as a talent. So i Will say i Think it looks brilliant. You Will miss out on some of the higher level talents and if you are not built for battle already that Will hurt. But if you have High str from the start you Can become a clever HULK.


You Will just have to get Big str, and mutagen and infusion mutagen no later than 7. AMD then go MC from there.


You need either infuse mutagen or feral mutagen discovery, not infusion, and neither is available to an investigator.

Damit you are rigth. Then it is time to go beg the GM for a little tiny exeption:)


DAMMIT!!!


it's pretty weird to me.. since Master chymst has feral mutagen as a choice but not infusion mutagen.

So its weird to me there.

maybe you could ask if you can take the prestige class if you make the first chymst discovery feral
