Mad Taxidermist


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


I'm making an alchemist who's obsessed with animals and who has a career in taxidermy. Some of his goals include grafting animal parts to his body (the Monstrous Grafts, Tentacle, and Wings discoveries) and animating his taxidermy animals (the Alchemical Zombie discovery or possibly incorporating the Taxidermied template somehow). My only problem is I can't decide what archetype to choose. His obsession with animals could be represented by Beastmorph, but his sort of hacking and grafting style could be best suited to the Vivisectionist (as well as a reluctance to use bombs, as they could damage a subject's skin and ruin the taxidermy process), and yet the Reanimator could work for bringing his taxidermied creatures to life. What do you guys think would work best?

Silver Crusade

Vivisectionist is my suggestion, reanimator is a poor call overall due to how late it gets its class features, and you can mix vivisectionist and beastmorph to realize more of your concept.


Thanks. I think you're right. Vivisectionist probably works best. What level should I take Beastmorph stuff? 3rd?
