Mind chemists and poison resistance

[gendoikari87]

So maybe it's my small phone screen but all I see mindchemist replacing is poison use not resistance. So my question is do mindchemists get the resistance?

Yes.

Neat..... So if mindchemists are Pfs legal..... Why ever play the base class?

Not everyone wants cognatogen, or have to take a discovery for mutagen first off. Mr Hyde builds don't have much reason to do so. Bombers might prefer the Grenadier archetype, not everybody wants to give up poison use, not everyone wants to archetype. Lots of reasons.

Cognatogen has a more severe penalty, you actually take stat damage once the cognatogen wears off, instead of just having a penalty during use.

Not a huge deal, but kind of annoying, especially at higher levels if you want the more potent versions that affect multiple stats.

But yeah, if you're a mad bomber type, the Mindchemist is a pretty awesome archetype. More bombs, higher DCs, knows everything.

only for the first few levels, after that you're making potions of lesser restoration like they're tequila shots
