Retraining an Alchemist Archetype in PFS

[aeontrin]

Hello,

I started out my Alchemist with no archetype and was thinking about adding the Grenadier archetype from the Field Guide. I have some questions regarding retraining. For clarity, I only need these questions answered for PFS:

1) Do I have to do all of the archetype feature retraining on one Chronicle or can I spread it out over several Chronicles?

2) W.r.t. the Brew Poison > Martial Weapon Proficiency retraining, I assume that, for PFS, this is a Extra Bombs > Martial Weapon Proficiency retraining, right?

2) W.r.t the Poison Use > Precise Bombs retraining, if I picked up Precise Bombs at 2nd level, do I have to retrain the discovery at the same time I retrain the Poison Use class feature?

Thanks,

Will

1. All of the retraining has to be done in one go. Can't be a half-grenadier.

2. correct

3. Interesting question... I would assume that by RAW yes, you'd need to retrain the original Precise Bomb discovery into something else. I would personally think that you get to select any discovery in place of the bonus one you get from grenadier (much like a lot of classes who get bonus feats if you already have it you can pick any) but there is nothing RAW to support that.

At least, you can wait to retrain that discovery, you would just have duplicate ones for a bit.
