Don't everyone jump in at once . . .

If you want to do ranged damage as an Alchemist, you should have stuck with the Bombs. Alchemist Bombs are already sick enough as it is as ranged weapons, putting them on par with blaster sorcerers.

Sneak Attack is terrible at ranged, so you're better off sticking to melee if you want Sneak Attack. Focus Strength and natural weapons is my advice.

Sadly sneak attack at ranged just doesn't work well. You kind of have to choose between Ranged and Melee in this situation. You can make a really good sneak attack melee Alchemist, OR a really awesome bomber type Alchemist.

Can you give us more details on the campaign, poit buy, house rules and some more options or ideas to work with?
