any chance of getting a write-up for the Iconic Alchemist?


Pathfinder Society

Scarab Sages 5/5

this popped up again at a local CON this weekend.

Coordinator passed me a beginner who was in the process of building his very first PC. So, realizing we had a little under an hour till game start, I said "we'll grab the Iconic and you can at least get equipment from that and save a little time. Maybe even steal some to the explanation on how some of your class abilities work etc. and I can help you fit that to what you have now. What are you building?"

That's when he pulled out an Alchemist he was putting together. Sigh. The next hour was very busy... but we did get him ready for his first game.

Any chance we can get the Iconic Alchemist written up like the other Iconics? Just wishing...

All of the Advanced Players Guide iconic characters* (Alchemist, Cavalier, Inquisitor, Oracle, Witch) are being worked on. See blog post here.

*NOTE: The Summoner has an Unchained pregen available in Fane of Fangs, but given its legality in PFS now, the APG one is probably not going to be a thing.

Edited to add: You may want to look at the materials the pregen for Master of Fallen Fortress has, as a base. That may have not been available to you at the time, though.

That blog post doesn't actually say that. It's talking about the Occult Guide classes.

There's a comment in the post for the pregens, but it dates to November of last year.

Also, it's not ideal, but the Investigator can be a decent reference point for the Alchemist's equipment, since alchemy is part of his initial repertoire as well...

The caption under the image says that Alain's holding things up. Darn nobility.

Thanks G.T. (wow same initials as Grandmaster Torch)

I didn't think of it at the time, and for gear just pulled out a Rogue and said "swap the Rapier and most of the daggers to money - which you can spend on some holy water and maybe more acid?"

The Investigator (Quin? how is his name spelled?) would have been a better choice though...

You can also make your own 1st-level "pregens" for new players to use. Nefreet made some that you can download. He never got around to the alchemist, but he did make a witch, an oracle, and a cavalier.
