Ok I have been looking through the ARG, and I was looking at the different alchemist archtypes with the new forms of mutagens. My question is, do mutagen discoveries stack (like Feral Mutagen, the Grippli amphibious mutagen, and greater mutagen) or are they all separate effects that I have to choose from?

Ok it's a little fuzzy here but:
From the PRD-
"Discovery (Su): At 2nd level, and then again every 2 levels thereafter (up to 18th level), an alchemist makes an incredible alchemical discovery. Unless otherwise noted, an alchemist cannot select an individual discovery more than once. Some discoveries can only be made if the alchemist has met certain prerequisites first, such as uncovering other discoveries. Discoveries that modify bombs that are marked with an asterisk (*) do not stack. Only one such discovery can be applied to an individual bomb. The DC of any saving throw called for by a discovery is equal to 10 + 1/2 the alchemist's level + the alchemist's Intelligence modifier. "
Since it specifically notes that discoveries applied to bombs do NOT stack, I would read that to mean that it assumes discoveries otherwise WOULD stack. One thing to be careful with here, is to note that some discveries like Grand Mutagen change the baseline of your mutagen and are not added to the initial bonuses, but instead change what those bonuses and penalties are.
Ok cool thanks
