Underground chemist (rouge) + boomer rogue talent


Advice


is this combination of the archetype and the ability a little broken?
So this means at 4th level I will do 4d6 + Int and at 5th I will do 6d6
Please tell me if this is right because if it is this is my new pfs build.


yes, once per round if you can sneak attack. But you'll be going against flat-footed touch ac when you do :D


I can confirm the above, I'm currently using this build as well, though not in PFS. It's fun to bomb a group of enemies for big numbers, but it definitely isn't overpowered by any stretch.


If I'm reading this right, can you sneak attack WITH the bomb?
(it seems like it) Because in that case I think we just found a "nova" option for Rogues, which is cool.

Also, and I stress that I haven't the examined the details for this, can the above be combined with focused shot or the "Explosive Missile"-Discovery in some way?


It works basically the same as using the Alchemist VMC in conjunction with a Underground Chemist Scout

Every round, you Tumble to the other side of your enemy, then shove a Sneak Attacking Bomb in his maw for hilarious amounts of damage at your highest BAB.

A Chemist with a penchant for make-up?

Nice!

Now I feel like playing that ... too bad I'm the GM currently. :)

Adding scout is nice will the feat charging hurler help this so you are charging every round to get the sneak attack every round at low levels...

Bombs cannot be thrown as part of a Charge, sadly - they're a Standard Action to prepare and throw, so you can't use them with Charging Hurler. You can use Charging Hurler with other splash weapons, however.

The original design was to emulate V from V for Vendetta, with a little more emphasis on throwing bombs (which he didn't do MUCH in either the comic or film).

Scout Swashbuckler Underground Chemist Rogue, Alchemist VMC

Race Human Point-Blank Shot
CL1 Rog/Alc1 Precise Shot, Weapon Finesse; Sneak Attack 1d6, Martial Weapon Proficiency: Rapier
CL2 Rog/Alc2 Chemical Weapons, Combat Training – Quick Draw
CL3 Rog/Alc3 Alchemy, Finesse Training (Rapier); Sneak Attack 2d6
CL4 Rog/Alc4 Debilitating Injury, Scout’s Charge, Precise Splash Weapons
CL5 Rog/Alc5 Charging Hurler, Rogue’s Edge – Acrobatics, Sneak Attack 3d6
CL6 Rog/Alc6 Combat Trick – Dodge
CL7 Rog/Alc7 Bombs 4d6, Sneak Attack 4d6
CL8 Rog/Alc8 Combat Training - Weapon Focus (Bombs), Skirmisher
CL9 Rog/Alc9 Close-Quarters Thrower, Bomb 5d6, Sneak Attack 5d6
CL10 Rog/Alc10 Hunter’s Surprise / Feat - Ricochet Splash Weapon, Rogue’s Edge – Stealth
CL11 Rog/Alc11 Mutagen; Bomb 6d6, Sneak Attack 6d6

Trading Two-Weapon Fighting focus for Charging Hurler would work pretty well, yeah.


Would this work with unchained rogue?

From what I can understand chbgraphicarts' build is an unchained rogue.

so, yes. :)


Oh wait VMC isn't PFS legal. I was more thinking about Thunder_TBT original idea aswell.
