Alchemist and Brew Potion.. can this be done?


Rules Questions


Can you use the Brew Potion feat to brew potions of your extracts if they aren't normally able to be made? I know the Alchemist can use Brew Potion with the Cure X Wounds spells to make potions, but they are already able to be brewed anyway. The issue here is could an Alchemist brew a potion of say Ant Haul or perhaps Detonate(evil grin).

A major reason I ask is could this situation: Could I brew a potion of Alchemical Allocation to give to party members so that they could use their own potions twice. Then I could brew a potion of say Vomit Swarm off my extract list, thus they could create 2 vomit swarms, as well as anyone else who wanted, including my own 2 using my extracts. I realize I can do this with the Infusion Discovery however I am looking for an answer here so that should I be separated from the group for an extended period or vice versa, they could have a longterm backup instead of filling my Extracts prepared slots.


brew potion can make a potion of "ANY" 3rd level of lower spell inclduing the new spells from the APG (edit: that follow rules for spells that can be made into potions)

ant haul for example is not exclusive to the alchemist spell list

edit: heheh show how recently I've brewed a potion XD

The class feature says specifically:

"The spell must be one that can be made into a potion."

Which means his potions follow the same rules as other potions. Range personal extracts cannot be made into potions which rules out alchemical allocation.

Ant haul is eligible, detonate is forth level so cannot work. Vomit swarm is range personal also so no there too.
