Simple question can I multiclass wizard with alchemist and use my alchemist levels towards my caster levels as a wizard.

No.

Straight and to the point. Thank you.

On that topic, though, if you multi from Wiz to Alc, do you automatically get the Alc formulae of spells in your Wiz spellbook, or do you have to convert them as per a found spellbook? And, of course, vice versa?


Speaking of multi-classing with an alchemist...Has anyone looked at a Chemist/Barbarian build? A chemist could focus on Mutagens and then rage under the effects of said mutagen. Thinking of trying it for my next character. Thoughts or ideas?

This makes more sense from a character concept perspective than I originally thought.

I could see the mutagens being secret herbs and whatever. You'd be like a Medicine Man.

At a bare minimum they must be scribed in the correct spell/formula book for your class, otherwise their "magical writings" will not be the same. This means when you buy a new spell, you must first try to scribe it as a wizard spell, pay the appropriate scribing cost upon success, and then attempt to scribe it as a formula and pay the appropriate scribing cost to put it in that book.

He'd have to spend the time and money converting his wiz spells to alch formulas; there's no rule that says otherwise, and I'd rather not add yet another exception to the game. :p

He can't convert his alch formulas to spellbook writeups, in any case.
