I've been playing a gnome Alch/wiz. Currently I am wiz 1 /alch 3. I've found that most of my contributions come in the form of skill monkey and with a wand of CLW, as an inpromptu cleric since Alchemists get UMD. I've only played in PFS games and I can only remember 2 where the party had an actual cleric and didn't rely on me with a wand for all party healing.

I really enjoy it though, between color spray, grease and bomb splash damage, the only time I have a hard time figuring out what to do in combat is when there is only one bad guy left and he/she is surrounded by my party members, but I bought a light crossbow just for that occasion. I built him with a bomber type in mind so my feats were point blank shot and prescise shot which help tremendously.

I haven't done anything with posions or the mutugen abilities so I can't speak for them good or bad.

The chopped onion is AC 10 [10 + 6(breastplate) - 5(Dex 0) - 1(size)] in the second range increment. Should be an easy hit...

Actually I use the chopped onion bottle as a brush holder because the holes in the top are a decent fit for most brushes.

I ordered a gnome mini from my FLGS over a month ago but they are having problems getting it from their supplier so last night I decided to take a Warhammer goblin and re-tool him to (hopefully) pass for a gnome.

I actually painted him flesh tones although you really can't tell from the pictures and I used some bags and canisters I had left over from a dwarf battalion to kind of simulate bombs and pouches since he is an Alchemist. Oh, and I tried to make the thing he is holding up look like a bomb or potion but it didn't really come out how I had envisioned it.

Let me know what you think.

A fighter gets a bonus feat starting at first level and every even level (meaning he gets a feat at every level).

Does the fighter start with 2 feats at first level(1 standard + 1 bonus)?

Thank you

Edit also with skills does putting the first rank into a class skill result in a +3 bonus or a +4 bonus (+3 class skill + 1 rank)

From the PRD

Bonus Feats: At 1st level, and at every even level thereafter, a fighter gains a bonus feat in addition to those gained from normal advancement (meaning that the fighter gains a feat at every level). These bonus feats must be selected from those listed as combat feats, sometimes also called “fighter bonus feats.”

So Yes, a fighter would start with 2 feats, 1 for being first level and 1 as his bonus feat.

As for the class skills, you gain a +3 for the skill in question being a class skill so if you put one point into a class skill then you would add +4 to your skill roll. (+3 class skill + 1 rank)

I didn't know I would have to spend PA to purchase the wand of CLW, I just kept saving all the gold I would get from the scenario's. I think at the beginning of the last game I had a little over 2k. I asked about buying one and the GM just told me to write it down on the sheet and take it out of my available gold.

Heh, I think I threw one bomb that whole game, the rest of the time was spent healing people since I was the only gnome there with the ability to heal.

That's a wonderful idea about the tanglefoot bags, Thank you.

And I'm going to get a wand of CLW because even if I can't use it, I can give it to someone that can. I just have to keep track of it's use and make sure it's returned to me at the end of the scenario, right?

Other than that, I just need to decide on what scrolls I want to buy and do all the rolling and money stuff at the start of the next session.

Thank You All very much for the advice and help.

Thank you very much for the information! If you are close to TN maybe I'll see you in Feb for the games held at ConNooga. I'll be the one walking around looking bouncy yet confused as this seems to be my normal state.

So I just write down that I purchased the scrolls / wands and subtract the cost from the amount on my last teir sheet? Also how can I scribe the scrolls to my spell book / Formula book? Is there a place or a way to denote this on my sheets ... that I bought a scroll and then scribed it?

Also, one of the scenario's we ran was murder on the silken caravan. We discorvered the +1 amulet and the party decided to give that to me since I was squishy, do I need to write this down as a peice of armor I now own or did it go away when the scenario ended?

That covers my basic rules questions --> THANK YOU ALL

Any suggestions on purchases would be very welcome also because this is really my first character and I have no idea what to buy for him. Maybe upgrade his crossbow and get him a dagger or something small for when people get too close. Buy some spells or a wand or something. Can a wiz/alch use a wand of CLW?

Awesome, thank you very much.

I planned ahead and made Alchemist my Favored Class because I knew I was going to multi-class him so I didn't get the extra point to HP or Skills first level but I get it now correct?

The feat I took at first level was point-blank shot which I figured would be useful to the wizard with his crossbow and would come in handy for the alchemist also once I began throwing bombs, so I need to wait another level before I can take the feat that gets rid of the -4 for shooting/throwing into combat.

So I keep the spells cast per day I already had but thats all I ever get? He has a 17 int so would the extra spell for the int modifier go away or do I keep it?

I can however scribe new 1st level spells into my spellbook?

And the Feat was based on level, not classes so at 3rd level I'll be able to select another feat.

Just trying to make sure I understand what you are saying :)

Any suggestions on things to buy for an alchemist?

I was unsure if I should post this here or in the general rules area but since he is a society character I figured this would be a good place to start.

I made a wizard and want to multi-class him into Alchemist I'm sure it's kinda silly but I started him as a wizard because of fluff, not for any rules or game purpose beyond the back story I created for him , this past session saw him reach level 2 but since we were pressed for time I didn't have a chance to change anything so I just played the next scenario with him still as a level 1 wizard. Now I have time to change him and am not sure about some things and have no one to ask.

1.) Since I am going into a new class does he get an extra feat besides the ones for being an alchemist? Example; alchemist get throw anything, brew potion, mutagen, and alchemy just for being an alchemist, do I get a feat outside of that like I did when I created him as a wizard?

2.) Can I still use and scribe new spells to my spell book? and can I add the ones I already know to my alchemy book if applicable?

3.) A bit off topic from the rules questions - Since I was playing a wizard and needed no armor and a gnome wizard at that, I got robes, a light crossbow, some bolts, and a masterwork Alchemy kit as my beginning purchases. I haven't bought or upgrade anything since then and after running 4 scenario's (one of them a tier 4-5) I currently have 2900 gold and no clue what to buy with it.

Thanks in advance for your time and your help.
