Alchemist Archetypes in PFS

[Airanath]

In Pathfinder society alchemists get extra bombs in lieu of brew potion.
My question: If I want to take an archetype that would replace brew potion, would it be instantly banned due to the PFS rules, or would it work as normal, but replace the extra bombs feat?

Which archetype? Is it listed in the PFS Additional Resources document?

-edit- Aha:

Grenadier from Pathfinder Society Field Guide.

"Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Pathfinder Society Field Guide - All rules in this book are legal for play in Pathfinder Society Organized Play, and this book is considered part of the Core Assumption."

So since it's legal, I would assume that it just replaces the extra bombs.

I'm guessing Crypt Braker?

Per http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/about/additionalResources#RPG:

Quote:

Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Ultimate Magic

Archetypes: broodmaster summoner, clone master alchemist, gravewalker witch, pack lord druid, master summoner, reincarnated druid, synthesist summoner, undead lord cleric, vivisectionist alchemist archetypes are not legal for play.

So assuming you didn't take a banned archetype, you'd replace extra bombs with the archetype ability.

If the archetype removes Brew Potion then it isn't there to replace with Extra Bombs. That wouldn't make the archetype illegal from the get go. Just look at the Additional Resources. If it is legal apply it, and then if the archetype gets Brew Potion replace it with Extra Bombs.

I was considering Crypt Breaker, which is not on the banned list, but the loss of brew potion blocks both it and Grenadier, unless there is an official errata =(

I believe the Brew Potion to Extra Bombs switch occurs at the end of the build, so you can take the Archetype and then replace Brew Potion if the final character still has that ability.

TL;DNR what Kintrik said.

It is perfectly legal, and so is Grenadier. The lose of Brew Potion does not make them illegal. Would be kind of silly if an archetype from the PFS Field Guide book was illegal in PFS. (Grenadier)

i have a grenadier and i simply did not get the extra bombs
