PFS Beastmorph Alchemist. Halp?

[Jasevaati Hskori]

Helping a friend with his first build. Convinced him to run a melee alchemist instead of a bloodrager because viability + out of combat use...and then it clicked I know basically nothing about alchemists.

I tried digging up some old threads but they're all based around a beastmorph/vivisectionist and vivi isn't PFS legal, so hopefully one of you gents can provide an outline since I genuinely don't know what to tell him.

Cheers in advance.

Check out alchemist guides in the guide to guides.

Pretty much if you drink the mutagen your combat ability goes up. As you level up it lasts longer,and the Master Chymist PrC gives more uses.

You use extracts to buff yourself. With the infusion discovery you can buff others. These are essentially spells. Plenty of out of combat uses. (Check out seek thoughts)

Your ranged attack is bombs.These get more powerful and can be modified with discoveries.

I'm sure some other folks have better ideas than me and more to contribute.

As stated in the OP, I was looking for specific advice/an outline since the Vivisectionist is banned in PFS play. Every melee build in the guide involved taking Vivisectionist. Further research on my own brought me 3-4 threads where it was generally agreed that Vivi was THE way to make a melee alchemist and thus it isn't really possible anymore unless you're willing to take a lot of negs in the name of flavor.

I'll pass along the info, thanks gents.
