Combining Promethean and Visionary Researcher Alchemist archtypes


Rules Questions


2 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

The Promethean loses mutagens and bombs and cannot take mutagen or cognotagen discoveries.

The Visionary loses Poison Use and Swift Alchemy but gets Experimental Mutagen.

Technically the archtypes can be combined because they don't lose the same things.

However, does the Experimental Mutagen from VR count towards the Prometheans special rule "cannot gain mutagen"?

Looks like it should work, as Promethean only restricts the discoveries.
Now that maybe what they wanted to say, but it is not what is written.


You look good to go with this combination. The only reason you wouldn't be is if it altered or removed a class feature and a second archetype was trying to also remove/alter it.


Excellent. I was of the opinion that Experimental Mutagen and Mutagen were different.

Thank you.
