Hi everyone,

I have just made a guide to the remastered Alchemist.
It is my humble effort to make the class a bit more beginner friendly.

Unstable Reactions: A Remastered Alchemist Guide

Comments are always welcome!

Great guide!

I did notice one thing about the Commander archetype that might be a bit outdated. Commanders can participate in and benefit from their own tactics (unless the tactic has the brandish trait). This change was made before the class’s full release.

For example, the Alley-Oop tactic (available at level 8 if taken through the archetype) lets you retrieve and throw any worn consumable to another squadmate within your aura (30 ft emanation.) using just a single action. They can then catch and activate it as a reaction. This seems like a very strong option for alchemists since you can pass around your advanced alchemy consumables for 1 action, and quick alchemy ones for 2. It is however reliant on your squadmates having a free hand to catch and activate them with, so make your party aware of this.

Even though Exemplar is rare and many GMs don't allow the archetype, as it is quite powerful, I think mentioning it could still be a good idea for tables that are open to it. The Horn of Plenty ikon has very good synergy with alchemists.
