I've just started playing an Alchemist using the Final Playtest version. I want to make a ranged, bomb-focused character, but I'm actually having a lot of trouble finding feats that are worthwhile for that kind of character. I was planning on taking the Two-Weapon Fighting line and Rapid Shot for bomb novas with Fast Bombs; however, the wording is slightly ambiguous, and I have an inkling that combo isn't going to work once the actual book comes out(as it's really quite overpowered).
With that in mind, I've decided I would rather choose feats assuming that Two-Weapon Fighting and Rapid Shot will not work with bombs.
The game is a core-only affair, for the most part. We're using the OGL feats presented at http://www.d20pfsrd.com/ though.
Currently, the character is an elf and level 3. I have one extra feat (we're using flaws from 3.5 Unearthed Arcana), giving me Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, and Improved Initiative. Stats were rolled and overall very good: Str 8, Dex 20, Con 14, Int 20, Wis 10, Cha 13.
I've been looking at Weapon Focus and Skill Focus (Craft (alchemy)), but I see very little else that really works well with the Alchemist's abilities. What feats would others recommend?
Except the Alchemist is from the Advanced Player's Guide. So, you're already NOT doing "core only" by using that class. And why are you still using the playtest version? If you cant afford the APG then you can get the info for free here on paizo's site (which I linked below).
