Suggestions for Alchemist equipment?

[DizzyDev]

So I'm Building an pathfinder alchemist to play in a 3.5 dawnforge campaign... I've always had trouble choose equipment, so I'm asking for some help from the forum. I'd really like to get his AC pretty decent, since he will be running around the battle field throwing Bombs at close range since he is immune to his fire bombs.

10th level Tiefling Alchemist
Str:10
Dex:16
Con:13
Int:26
Wis:12
Cha:10

Fort:8
Reflex:11
Will:3

Immune to Fire and Poison

Feats: Point Blank shot, Far throw, Quick Draw, Defensive archery

If you need to know more, let me know.

I would say the basics should cover you.

Mithral chainshirt enchanted
some sort of dex increaser
amulet of na
ring of protection
wand of cure wounds

beyond that i wouldn't work too hard at it.

Your extracts will really help boost your defense. Shield, Barkskin, and the like. You might try and get an item that let's you fly soon as well. Cloak of Resistances are always good. Using money for sticky poisons at level 8 is fun.

Extracts and bomb throwing aren't effected by spell failure so using feats for armor proficiency isn't a bad idea either. Actually a level dip into fighter would be a good idea if you want to be a full plate, tower shield wielding bombardier wading through battle.

Also why do you have Quick Draw? Is your GM ruling that you can use it to draw bombs? Just curious.

I ask because the line "Alchemical items, potions, scrolls, and wands cannot be drawn quickly using this feat." might cause a kink in this for some people.

I'm not familiar with Far Throw or Defensive Archery. Far Shot is a good one for reducing your range increment penalty.

I didn't realize quick draw wasn't useful for potions. I thought it specifically said that you could draw potions. That really stomps on the alchemists abilities. That means drawing his extracts and consuming one is a full round action.

That makes me second guess the class all together. Thank you for pointing it out to me. I will have to consult with my Dm.

Not to be too discouraged. Items placed in an adventurers satchel may be retrieved with a free action if the flaps are opened previously with a move action. The perfect place for bombs and extracts.

Bombs count as weapons for feats such as Point Blank Shot and Weapon Focus so I'm guessing this differentiates them enough from potions to allow them to be accessed with Quick Draw.

Also the new discovery allowing extracts to be combined so you can consume two with one action is nothing short of amazing.

Is there a new list of discoveries out?

I found it... and This version fixes pretty much all that I was concerned about. Thank you Paizo for listening to your customers.
