gestalt brawler + alchemist?

[Declindgrunt]

hello lovely forum members

so for an upcoming game were using gestalt and ive settled for a brawler alchemist, i just imagine a scientist who is good at martial arts but then turns into the hulk when the situation calls for it, im thinking alchemist into master chemist, and then just strait brawler for the rest

Im looking for help picking feats and discoveries

and im also not sure what race I should be and what my stats should be.

its a 25 Point buy and we are using this updated feat system here

Feat tax in pathfinder.

Was thinking of picking up pummeling style so I can pounce, cuz with my concept I don't plan on picking up the feral mutagen and using natural attacks

As a gestalt build you have one big problem: you have a weak will save. It's so easy to cover saves in gestalt that it's usually considered bad form to not at least have strong fortitude and will saves.

There's no good way to get the combination of qualifying for pummeling style, qualifying for master chymist, avoiding a poor will save, and having full BAB.

Investigator has extracts and can get mutagen and fills your save holes, but can't get either infuse or feral mutagen. The mutation warrior fighter gets mutagen and can get infuse or feral mutagen, but lacks extracts. Put them together and you can get into master chymist with full BAB and all good saves. You then want something that has a good will save on the other track, possibly more investigator, though that will waste the chymist progressing extracts. You don't have any form of flurry, though, and therefore can't pummel.

You can use avenger vigilante across from alchemist, but you don't have any form of flurry and can't qualify for pummeling style.

You can use brawler with investigator, but investigator can't get infuse mutagen or feral mutagen and therefore can't get into master chymist on its own. This is probably the closest strong willed build to the theme you want, but doesn't really hulk out.

You can use monk with alchemist, but you miss out on full BAB and can't get pummeling charge until level 11 because pummeling style has a BAB prerequisite and your bonus feats aren't general enough to help.

The BAB requirement is there for classes that are not monk or brawlers.

A monk can probably grab the charge at level 9 (since it allows you to use monk 8). It is meant to give the 'unarmed classes' early access to pummeling style.

I personally don't care too much about the will save, yea it's important and I plan on taking a will save trait and picking up iron will and greater iron will but it doesn't bother me too much
