Says it all in the title! I had a rough idea for a flavorful, if a touch creepy, Goblin Alchemist. He will be an oversized, mutant Goblin. He boasts to all his tribe mates "I'm so tough, I ate my brother before we were born!" Little did he know the two were twins and they actually fused! He cant quite get the nagging voices out of his head, and the constant gibbering and bickering drove his tribe mates mad, and he was thrown to the wild. Shanks' parasitic twin Giblit was always plotting and learning, twisting their corrupted body to suit his purposes. Shanks was just happy to be big, tough and feared. This brawny little freak will be an Alchemist combo of Preservationist/Vivisectionist.
Discoveries: Vestigial arms, Parasitic Twin, tumor familiar, etc.
His main schtick will be to lob mutated nasties at his enemies, creatures grown from his own body! They all look as they should, if a bit....Goblin-y. He also has a Giant Flea (working) familiar with the Parasite archetype (Wilderness Origins) to infest his enemies and bend them to their wills. I also dabbled with the concept of the Possessed Hand feat line, to add a 4th member jumbled in this mess of a body. Not by any means optimized, but it was alot of fun to theory-craft.

I'm open to suggestions! Im honestly not sure if this is a character I'd ever actually play, so feel free to use him for your campaigns if it tickles your fancy. Let me know your thoughts and opinions!!

I love the potential for flavor and role play as well, by leaving your adaptations intentionally vague aside from crunch. Are you an Android with specialized nanites that can alter your form at Will? Or a fleshwarp experiment gone horribly right, able to manifest mutated tendrils and creepy quills. It looks like it could be a lot of fun, without sacrificing any power.
