Best Alchemical Allocations?


Advice


What's the best way to use this besides a CL 20 Greater magic fang?


You can use it with elixirs to very potent effect.

The Seishinru Spirit Elixir and Elixir of Spirit Sight are quite potent and PFS-legal; outside of PFS, Shadewalking is a pretty strong lifehack. Really most elixirs are a pretty good deal-- you can really push some skill checks with the +10 bonus from various elixirs, although that's less powerful than CL 20 Greater Magic Fang.

EDIT: Darksight is another cool one. Doubled darkvision range and ability to see through Deeper Darkness for an hour.


The next best thing I could find was CL20 barkskin and after that it drops off considerably.

Heroism is popular.

Oh ya, glibness makes anyone a good bluffer


Glibness sounds decent but I have -2 Charisma.

OK maybe not anyone. But it you have to infiltrate and you might need to lie you are not going to auto fail and blow it for your whole team.

A cure potion mixed with the quicksilver from a philosopher's stone... how many True Resurrections can you get through in a day?

Bit hard to use, though.

I usually don't assume that I can get CL 20 potions.

Anyway, my recommendation is the Elixir of Energy Protection (or something) from Dragonslayers Handbook: CL 10 Protection from Energy, keyed to the first type of energy damage you take.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

It's useful as an "any-tool" due to the relative cheapness of potions. My 10th level PFS alchemist has a potion of Burrow, Waterbreathing, Gaseous Form, Tongues, Magic Circle Against Evil, and of course Heroism, for example. That's some nice "at will" versatility.

I buy a lot of Preserving Flasks and Boro Beads. You can literally never have too many Alchemical Allocations.

For pfs I buy a wand of alchemical allocation. It's a bit more than one perserving flask but you can get as many uses in a day as you want.

I have not yet burn through a wand before level 12 yet. But I will try!


Life bubble? It is a 3rd level ranger spell so you can buy a potion of it.


Trollblood Elixir.
Heals 50hp and reattaches lost limbs.


Plain old Fly is worth having, too.

That's not legit.

Alchemical allocation is only available to alchemists and investigators. Neither can use Craft Wand without hefty multiclassing. There might also be specific PFS rules about it, I don't know.

to be more specific, alchemists are not Spellcasting classes. they use alchemy to produce effects that resemble spells. its under the alchemy class feature.


Combined with Amplify Elixir, Allocation can give you lots of virtually day-long buffs if you've got the 2nd level slots.

Depending on when your slots 'refresh', any 2nd level slots left over from the previous day could be tasked to putting up some lengthy hour/level buffs that would last through the next day.

Darkvision, protection from arrows, ablative barrier.

Not entirely true anymore. Spell Knowledge discovery gives the character an arcane spell they actually cast. That can make them an actual Spellcasting classes.

Even so, you still cant make a wand of alchemical allocation as that spell is not on any spell list other than alchemist/invest. which, as stated before, is not an actual spell casting list/class. if you can find a way to add that spell to a sorc/wiz or any other class, then yea you can have wands, scrolls of it.
