Greetings and hello to all,
i have a few questions to put before you:
Alchemist get mutagen that can enhance their physical form:
(Per Pathfinder SRD: When an alchemist brews a mutagen, he selects one physical ability score—either Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. It’s a standard action to drink a mutagen. Upon being imbibed, the mutagen causes the alchemist to grow bulkier and more bestial, granting him a +2 natural armor bonus and a +4 alchemical bonus to the selected ability score for 10 minutes per alchemist level)
The RageChemyst Archetype eventualy (at 6 lv) replace the standart mutagen
with +6 Str and + 4 nat armor bonus)
The Branble Brewer (1/2elfe archetype)
(Per Pathfinder SRD: At 1st level, a bramble brewer's mutagen still contains transformative power, but grants a treelike sturdiness rather than the feral power of standard mutagens. When imbibed, dendrite mutagen grants a +4 natural armor bonus, a +2 alchemical bonus to one physical ability score, and a –2 penalty to the corresponding mental ability score (as per the normal mutagen class feature;. In addition, the alchemist gains fast healing 1 as long as he is in an area of bright light (such as sunlight or inside the area of a daylight spell).
This ability otherwise works like the standard mutagen class feature and replaces that ability.)
If one would combine the 2 archetypes
what would you end up with for the mutagen (str bonus / nat armor bonus)?
Tks in advance
By raw, you can't tHe with archetype because they both change the Mutagen class feature. Any reason to take ragechymist and not, say, beast morpher?
Rage chymist is a prestige class not an archtype.

RageChemist Archetype:

Hum since they dont combine;
in the end we get
Ragechemist (netting the + 6 Str + 4 nat armor bonus at lev 6)
or Bramble brewer + beast morphe (netting + 2 str +2 size "from beast shape) and +4 nat armor +2 nat armor from beast shape)
Rage chymist is a prestige class not an archtype.
Ragechemist is an archetype. You're thinking Master Chymist.
Go for Bramble. The rage mutagen is just a pain, as you keep loosing Int on hits and then pass out. Check out the Preconstructed Spellbooks from Ultimate Magic, there's an alchemist book there that allows one mutagen per day to grant +6 to a stat and +4 nat armor as long as you use that book to prepare your extracts.
Beast morpher does not get stats, he only gets abilities, such as Darkvision 30 or Swim 30 or Constrict and so on, not the +natural armor and +ability.
A bramble brewer then has +4 natural ac and +2 to str, con or dex. -2 to the opposite mental stat. This is nice because you get more armor which you need as an alchemist, you can get bonus str/dex for damage trough belts and extracts. Remember that Bramble also gives you Fast Healing 1 in sunlight, a daylight spell will grant you one hp each round.
