I think they should be Ex instead, but I suppose the designers wanted to leave Alchemists as helpless as regular casters in an antimagic field since even melee alchemists lose most of their combat abilities with mutagen also being an Su.</p>It's the annoying line "infusing them with their magical reserves".

I just hit the year and a half mark, but spend most of my free time theory crafting and learning rules, so I've been a quick study and my badly built character has become a deadly force.</p>
<p>Then we have our fifth player. He joined six months ago, knows just the basics, and doesn't really have any desire to dig in deeper. He made a majorly sub-optimized vanilla monk. Everybody was annoyed. The GM was making encounters harder, but the monk wasn't really contributing. There was one fight that resulted in a PC death where the monk went to read something on the wall mid-fight.</p>
<p>But then this bumbling player started to get the feel of the character, and I don't mechanically. Through RP and out of the box thinking he has saved the whole party multiple times. We may still get annoyed that he can't do more than 1 damage with a shuriken on the rare chances he could actually hit something since he doesn't like to get in melee, but he's become that sidekick that actually finds a way to help.</p>
<p>To connect to some of the other posts, he's Jimmy Olsen...actually Snarf fits better - even down to the annoying attempts at comedy, but when all of your "superheroes" are engaged in the battle, you still need that guy who can run over and stop the self destruct sequence.</p>I'm in a campaign with four others. 3 have been playing 3.5 and Pathfinder for years.

<p>1) It is not restricted on targets immune to crits like Stunning Fist.</p>
<p>2) A level 8 UnMonk would have 8 stunning fists and 8 touches of serenity, so more options if you have longer fighting days.</p>
<p>3) Stunning fist has a Fort save, Touch of Serenity is a Will save so you also open your options depending on the strengths of the enemies you're facing.</p>A few things stand out to me.

<p>Doesn't reach full crazy until lvl0, but at that point he's Dr. Jekyl/Mr. Hyde. His normal persona is refined, uses a rapier only when he must; he would rather be at home drinking tea and tending to his cat. His mutagen persona is the Hulk; gunplay, bombs, wanton destruction except against cats. The normal persona's love of cats bleeds over and the Hulk goes out of his way to protect any kind of feline.</p>Halfing Gun Slinger/Inspired Blade/Alchemist/Master Chymist
