Alchemical Arrow Creation


Rules Discussion


So, I've been looking at ways to combine Ranger+Alchemist (or Alchemist+Ranger). I wanted to combine arrows and bombs/elixirs, but haven't found anything in the Core Rule Book for this (despite multiple mentions of crafting ammunition).

However, there is artwork on the Multi-class Ranger page of an archer with alchemy vials (one is strapped to an arrow). Talking with the GM of my PFS game, he said to check here if that's been mentioned anywhere on how to make that in the rulebook.

There is an item called alchemical crossbow, you could try that one!

That's something I could look into in the future, but that's an uncommon item in the Fall of Plaguestone. So that's not something that I can rely on for PFS play.

If your in PFS, then nope. Nothing you can do but hop to find that alch xbow. Nothing I know of at least and Alchemist are jusut about the only class I'm properly interested in.

If you weren't in PFS you could do the INventor feat and learn to build it.

but yeah straight up PFS no alchemical arrow or bolts. not yet anyway. Considering they turned alch items to debuf style. I'm not sure they'll make something like that. More so since they made something like the Alchemical Crossbow.

There might be a Greandier research for alchemist in the future. Or perhaps a generalized Archetype for anyone to apply items to weapons. but nothing right now.

Alrighty, that's what I figured, but when I brought it up to my GM today, he mentioned that Paizo would not likely have artwork made of something that's not obtainable by players.

And my guess was that for homebrew it's fine, but I would have no idea the ruling on the item in PFS would have been.

Thanks anyway ;D
