I've been wondering why a straight up alchemist can achieve a more superior form of mutagen, than the Master Chymist, that seems to be build around the idea of being a wee bit mutated.
Is there a good rationale behind this, that I just don't see?
But achieving something like True Mutagen would make a whole lot of sense for a Master Chymist, right?
Fly safe!
No takers?
I see your point -- but then again, a master chymist with Grand Mutagen, Burly, and Nimble as well as the Brutal class feature would probably be able to outfight an alchemist with True Mutagen. But I am actually surprised that they didn't hand out True Mutagen as the capstone ability of that prestige class in place of the last advanced mutagen.
