while I'm fairly certain that these two archetypes can be both used for the same character, I want to be extra sure and ask the question here before making my character.
The Chirurgeon and the Internal Alchemist archetypes really seem to complement eachother very well. But as stated in the Advanced Player's Guide two archetypes can't be used together unless they alter different things. Would the change in the Alchemist's Poison Resistance +4 and Poison Immunity to Disease Resistance +4 and Immunity from the Internal Alchemist be simply replaced by the Chirurgeon's Anaesthetic and Power Over Death abilities if both Archetypes were used? Would it be a legitimate combination in your campaign??
It is a legit combination -- The Disease resistance doesn't alter when or what bonus you get against poisons -- it simply applies it to something new (in fact the way they made it a 'rider' effect was very elegant).
So you will have poison/disease resistance +2 -- then you'll miss the +4 when you get to the +6 it will instead be +4 (since it's been stepped down), same with the +8 (now a +6) and you'll never actually become immune to either (since you don't get the poison immunity).
That's what I've been thinking, but I wanted to hear other people's thoughts on the matter before bringing it up to my DM. Thank ye for the input.
