Alchemist help / tips

[ChumbaWumba]

So im pretty new to Pathfinder and tabletop games. We started playing PF a little bit ago and we just started a new campaign. So i choose an Alchemist and im loving it so far. Mutagen + bombs are awesome. We can change our characters up a little bit as we are low lvl, so i'm not sure if i should change to Vivisectionist or just stay a regular Alchemist. I'm playing in a small campaign with a rogue and a wizard

I tend to lean towards Mutagen + enlarge person, but i also like the idea of bombs until i really need to use my mutagen. But i had a question on mutagen, 2 claws and bite. As a full attack i can do claw/claw/bite? With adding my str bonus to each attack to the hit and damage without penalties?
Also, how would Power Attack fit in with that combo?

Thanks for any help.

Yes, you get to attack with all three on a full attack, with full bonus to hit and damage.

Of course, if you take a move action, you get only a single attack, as with all standard action attacks.

And Power Attack applies normally, giving -1 to hit for +2 damage on all three attacks (or -2 and +4 or whatever). It's a pretty solid cal for any melee character.

-beast morph archetype: allows pounce for move+full attack at level 10

-note expeditious retreat is super handy in combat

-note that extend potion+2nd level alchemy spell that allows you to reuse potions forever + potion of Heroism allows for infinite Heroism spell.

-consider 2 level barbarian dip to get beast totem: allows horns when raging for 4(!) natural attacks when raging and a +8 strength bonus

-if doing above, Human is super handy

Oh, also: you can do beast morph AND vivisectionist.

Forget bombs. You won't be able to invest in them adequately if going for a melee monster.

Beast morph + vivisectionist is a TON of fun. AND you have a flank buddy with the rogue!
