Hi, I've been searching for an answer for this for a while but I didn't find anything, so I guess I'll ask here. I'm building an alchemist but I'm not completely sure how to choose my initial formulae, the APG states that:
"An alchemist begins play with two 1st-level formulae of his choice, plus a number of additional forumlae (sic.) equal to his Intelligence modifier."
Does this mean that for those bonus formulae I could choose any formula of any level? The Core Rulebook, for Wizards, specifies explicitly that the additional spells have to be 1st-level spells, but that's not the case here.
I would assume that no, I can't choose to start with a 6th-level formula on my book (mostly because that would neither make sense nor be of any use), but I'd like to confirm that's how it's supposed to work.
The "number of additional formula" may be following the rule set out at the beginning of the sentence about the two first formulae being level 1.
Also,
An alchemist begins play with two 1st level formulae of his choice, plus a number of additional forumlae equal to his Intelligence modifier. At each new alchemist level, he gains one new formula of any level that he can create.
The next sentence also limits the free formulae to ones you can actually use. I think intent is pretty clear though wording is a bit iffy.
Yeah, that's right too. But I just wanted to make sure, just in case there was some errata somewhere I wasn't aware of.
Thanks for the hasty answer!
