Alchemist Swift Alchemy and Instant Alchemy Feat


Rules Questions


In our Iron Gods Campaign I'm currently playing an alchemist and am liking the idea of using the spontaneous alchemy rules for my character. Since i already took the Technologist feat at first level i have opted to take Instant Alchemy at third level but am uncertain how the feat works with the Swift Alchemy class feature. Instant alchemy allows you to craft an item with a normal crafting time of 10 minuets as a standard action, Swift Alchemy on the other hand reduces the crafting time for alchemical items to half the normal time. Do these two things work together to reduce the time even further? And if so, what would the reduction of the standard action be?


My off the cuff would be that instant alchemy (the feat) is not the "normal" crafting time since it is 'spontaneous alchemy' not 'normal alchemy' and therefore wouldn't interact with swift alchemy or instant alchemy (the class ability).

That doesn't feel 100% to me though.


I'd also state it would likely just be a standard action.


I'd cut the 10 minutes in half, but wouldn't likely change the standard action since it doesn't make sense to have it any lower.
