First let me thank those who helped me on the other thread asking for similiar advice , due to the great results there i decided to just make a second thread for more build help , hope i can count with your help again.
Now what im looking for is a really strong alchemist build (or just about any guide lines you can provide), this is a NPC , so no need to worry about it disrupting the party (well not more than any LE enemy would :P).
The rules are the following:
1) Any paizo material is valid , only 3pp is to be avoided.
2) The background is a drow (so the race cant change) fleshwarper. I dont know any (if the are) actual rules for fleshwarping , so it is mostly background and the NPC dont need a sheet that represent this , it will be more of an extra power it will have using alchemy.
3) This is a level 10 NPC , should be mostly alchemist , but can dip. Its WBL is 100k at this point. Consider it a 25 point buy.
4) While i kept saying "OP"/"strong" , i just mean it must be "maxed" at something , doesnt need to be combat , but it could also be (like dunno a Beastmorph+Vivisectionist)
So once again i ask , what can you guys point me?
PS: Dont consider any fleshwarped creatures part of its WBL that will be outside it.
Consider making him an Eldritch Poisoner, and give him the poison boosting Discoveries and such.
Absolutely DESTROY at least one PC until they can negate the effects, because you can boost the DC and virulence pretty high.
a preservationist with augmented summons and debuffing bombs can really get some work done. especially if you are able to fit skeletal summons in there. blind the fighters, deafen the casters and drop all of you summons on them while they cant do anything about it.

Combat absurdity is pretty easy.
* Beastmorph gets access to Pounce at level 10.
* Vivisectionist is adding 5d6 sneak attack damage at level 10.
* Use Monstrous Physique to turn into a Charda (5 natural attacks, +2 Dex)
* Take that elixir from the dwarf section of ARG that lets you see in Deeper Darkness. Use your racial Deeper Darkness SLA.
* Tumor Familiar + Improved Familiar into a wand buddy, equip with Wand of Deeper Darkness. Spam liberally.
* Alchemists get Improved Invisibility at level 10.
* Use the round of dismay after players get rid of the Deeper Darkness but before they Glitterdust your Greater Invisibility to murder whoever cast Daylight.
* Take Weapon Finesse. Buy an Agile Amulet of Might Fists. Drink a Dex Mutagen.
* Use extracts: Cat's Grace, Heroism, Barkskin, Freedom of Movement, See Invisibility, Absorb Toxicity, Fly, Shield, Resist Energy (fire, lightning, cold), Alchemical Allocation to drink a CL 18 Shield of Faith potion.
* Take Iron Will. You will be hit with Glitterdust. Take Blind-Fight just in case.
* Cloak of Resistance +5
* Drink a potion of Protection from Good.
Thanks for the ideas guys , in the end i went with the vivisectionist since i thought it was closer to the fleshwaper concept , pity the saves indeed remain low , but overall im happy with the idea of she being DEX based.
Just to point out, Fleshwarping is attained by the use of Fleshcrafting POISON.
Clearly that means my idea was the best. =)
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I wouldn't recommend the Vivisectionist/Beastmorph build for an NPC enemy. It'll instagib one player at the start of combat and not survive much longer than that. Makes for an uninteresting encounter and one very salty party member.

Well the question was "over the top" - at that point it's really up to the GM to use responsibly.
But in general I'm of the opinion that alchemists (and magi) are poorly balanced as NPCs because unlike PCs there's really nothing stopping from Nova'ing in the one fight they'll have on-screen.
Hum , i didnt know that feat actually , might add it , thanks for pointing it out.

This NPC isnt actually meant to fight the players directly , this sheet is meant for reference of checks the NPC will make... , since its actions will directly influence the party , they might even work together or they might just compete running towards the objective...
Like i said , it is about it being trully "OP" in something , in this case it is combat , this will be actually both good and bad to the player anyway , just like it being "OP" on other areas also would.
