Touch Injection / Breath of Life with Tumor Familar


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

Wondering if these two instances would work? Chirurgeon with the Discovery Tumor Familiar and Breath of Life formula.

1. Can the Tumor Familiar deliver a touch Breath of Life(or any cure wds) infusion extract to anyone?

2. Can a Tumor Familiar deliver the Breath of Life back on the master if he died that round with Touch Injection in effect? The extract is considered in a "Magical Sac" in the Alchemist and would still be in effect or would Touch Injection duration end with the Alchemist's death?

Thanks.


First of all. The tumor familiar has the share spells quality for the alchemist extracts, so they can benefit from extracts without infusion.
However that doesn't change that extracts work like potions.

1. Yes, a Tumor familiar can deliever an infusion to anyone, BUT it takes a full-round action to administer a potion to a unconscious target (I would assume a recently dead is similar when it comes to Breath of Life). So you need to be within a 5-ft step of someone to be able to do it.

1b. Touch injection fixes the application time, so it gets a bit of mobility with this.

2. This is debateable. Touch Injection wouldn't end with the alchemist's death, but the infused extract might. They only remain active as long as the alchemist spend a daily extract slot for it, and you might argue that they can't do that while dead.
If it came up in a game, I'd probably allow anyways, as it requires a significant investment of ressources to prepare yourself for an uncommon situation.
