It's been a fair few years since I last played a PF game, and I'm more than a little rusty. We're going to be going through the Tyrant's Grasp AP, and I'm strongly thinking of playing a goblin alchemist, largely because I've never played one and they look like a blast to play. (pun intended)

We're a very small group, so there are only two PCs with what will probably be a healbot NPC tagging along for the ride. So, we're starting with 25 points for stats and, probably, an extra Feat.

I have two main goals for the wee beastie: explode/debuff/cause chaos all over the battlefield, and at least once turn into a flying, massively buffed giant squid and wreck stupid amounts of face.

I'm thinking dump CHA and push DEX & INT. (duh!) After that, I'm staring at all those options, wondering where to start.

Is the fire bomber any good? On paper, it appears not due to only adding INT to fire bomb damage combined with the reduced save DCs for admixtured bombs. That, and I've always been underwhelmed by the elemental body spells.

If not the fire bomber, should I stick with vanilla alchemist or grab grenadier? Something else?

And, is it reasonable to be a bomb specialist *and* an occasional adequate-to-good polymorphing melee-er? (Bull's strength + mutagen + beast shape seems good on paper, but I don't know....)

Anyway, help & advice would be very welcome.

The Feat has a one action marker on it, but the description doesn't say anything about a duration. Does that mean that you have to wait until you're likely to be (or have been) exposed to poison, then spend a third of each round maintaining the resistance?

My group's soon to start a new gestalt game, and I want to make a kick-arse magic-slinging archer. I'm sold on the zen archer qinggong monk, but I'm not sure what to pair it with. I'm torn between an eldritch archer magus and an empyreal sorcerer that PrC's into arcane archer.

Any advice or other ideas would be appreciated.
