So as the title says my crossbowman ate the dust so I was wanting to try and make a archer slayer alchemist who uses explosive missiles bombs and potions if possible I want to make him like a ranged witcher without signs.I'm definitely wanting go elf the stats are perfect any advice would be awesome thanks.

1st level?

Pathfinder does not really let you create Geralt...I always suspected the closest translation you would get would be to have a magus/alchemist gesalt. Want to chuck bombs? Alchemist. Lots of extracts. You may want to consider human, so you can get precise shot at level 1. Ranged combat really kinda sucks without precise shot.

I'm thinking maybe the Eldritch Archer, a Magus archetype coming out by the end of the month, could be right for you.

It will not have bombs and potions but you would be an archer using ranged magic too, which is the closest you can get of a witcher without a gestalt mix, as Just a Mort suggested above.

Our GMs gonna let me start on 3rd lvl I was than 150 xp from lvling up so I will just go human alchemist I like grenadiar but I don't to lose brew potion the gm always gives extra downtime if we have crafting skills so I wanna try and use it for once first time having a craft skill lol.its funny I should have went alchemy anyway in the witcher 3 I built geralt like a straight alchemist always anyway

If you start at 3, elf is fine as you can get precise shot at 3.

I'm still trying to Aard monsters down so I can finish them off on the ground.

If anyone was interested, here's my take on witcher signs.

Quen = shield/fire shield
Igni = burning hands
Axii = charm person/dominate person by using spell blending. Alas, magus can never get dominate monster.
Aard = greater thunderstomp
Ydren = sorry, this one I have no clue.

If you want to fire magical arrows, mymridach could work, but no extracts. If you want bomb work, alchemist is better.

Condensed Ether, from Occult Adventures, would fit nicely. :)

Alchemist, grenadier archetype.

you can always pick up brew potion naturally at 6 or 7 or 10 >.> not sure what lvl just spend the feat.

Splash Weapon Mastery and Ricochet Splash Weapon look into those those might be useful
