I am playing a 3-armed alchemist (beastmorph) in PFS, currently 4th lvl, being 5th soon. And I would like some help how to level him up, maybe re-train? or what to buy. The current build:
STR 18+2 DEX 14 CON 14 INT 15 WIS 10 CHA 7
Feats: Splash weapon mastery, Power attack, Endurance, Extra bombs
Traits: Armor Expert Tusked
Discoveries: Feral mutagen, Vestigial arm
Elixier: 1st lvl Crafter's fortune, Enlarge person, Reduce Person, Shield, Shock Shield, True strike
2nd lvl: Alchemical allocation
Favored class: Alchemist: +1/2 lvl to bomb damage
Equipment:
Mithril brearstplate, Darkwood large shield, Belt of Giant Strength +2, Cloak of resistance+1, Potion of Fly, Potion of Greater Magic Fang, Wand of CLW
I was thinking to go for die hard and tumor familiar at lvl6, then die for your master at lvl7 for enhanced survivability.
Although aiming for Master Chymist.
But there are probably lots of better options.....
Please any help!?
Anyone - please?

I don't know a ton about Alchemists but I play a decent bit of PFS. It seems like you're splitting your build between mad bomber and mr. hyde in order to try to cover both bases, leaning more towards mr. hyde. I prefer more focused builds in PFS. Unless I'm missing something, is there any reason a feral-chemist would be also speccing into increased bomb damage?
I am also playing my first Alchemist in my home game tomorrow.
We had a TPW, so we are starting at level 7.
Here is a site that I have been studying for a few weeks now in preparation.
I hope it helps!

Good luck!
The side is great, thanks.
Yeah, it is more a M. Hyde. I just have bombs in to have some versatility, and thought the extra bomb damage would be a good idea.
Felling smash looks very good though. And could get the feats till reaching lvl 9.
So, yes, I would be interested how best to advance the Hyde aspect.
Any suggestions, how best to advance him?
Looking through, the Crane Style looks really good. I will retrain my 1st lvl feat for dodge, but then is it worth to take a level of monk (master of many styles/sohei), or would it be better just to take the feats individually, improved unarmed strikes at 5th, crane style at 7th, crane wing at 9th and crane riposte at 11th?
This way I would not post-pone entry into master chymist, on the other hand benefits come later?
Any thoughts?
