I disagree with this interpretation. To explain, let's compare these two monk feats:

Feat - Extra Ki
Prerequisite - Ki Pool Class Feature

Feat - Ki Stand
Prerequisite - Ki Pool

KiStand clearly requires the PC to have a Ki Pool, something monk's don't get until level 4. ExtraKi's prerequisites are articulated differently. ExtraKi doesn't say that the PC needs to have a ki pool, it simply says that a ki pool must be a feature of that PC's class. Since the verbiage makes this distinction for monks, it would be logical that the distinction is the same for other classes.

So, let's return to alchemists.

Feat - Extra Discovery
Prerequisite - Discovery Class Feature

Thus, to take ExtraDiscovery, Discoveries must be a feature of the PC's class. If the rules wanted to prevent level 1 alchemists from taking this feat, the prerequisite would read as follows:

Feat - Extra Discovery
Prerequisite - Discovery/Discoveries

(Furthermore, the magnitude of the ExtraDiscovery feat is appropriate for a level 1 PC because the PC is inherently restricted in the discoveries she may choose from, based on the prerequisites of each discovery.)

I believe this would qualify as PFS legal: I'm making gun tank, and am solving the issue by being a tiefling with the prehensile tail. The tail can't "weild" a weapon, but it can carry it during reloading. Switching an item from one hand to another is a free action, so as long as you consider the tail to function like another hand, it'll be fine. The only problem is that you'll lose your feat for being human, which sucks for a low level gun slinger. Bye bye precise shot :( See you at lvl 3.
