the bonded investgator gets a familiar. The familiar ability for this class says, "The bonded investigator’s extracts are considered spells for the purposes of familiar abilities like share spell and deliver touch spells."
So how would the familiar deliver extracts? I guess this is the same ability as a tumor familiar, but I can't find anything clear there either.
anyone? even some voices saying they have no clue is welcomed.
So deliver touch spells with an alchemist extract works like this. The alchemist drinks the extract [his version of casting it] while the Familiar is in contact with him. Now the familiar can deliver the charge as a free action to anyone it can reach since it's is the deliver of the touch. And the master doesn't need infusion to do this. So it can move and deliever the touch so that the master doesn't have to. It can also hold the charge, until it discharges it later or until the master cast a new spell. When the master in this case drinks a extract the charge the familiar is using would disipate.
What the familiar can't do is drink an infusion extract itself and use that on the master, because neither share spells or deliver touch spells allow the familiar to transfer effects that way. Though a familair who has a hand slot and the feat extra item slot (hands) could in theory use poisoner's gloves.
From this discussion.
so could the investigator drink, give to the familiar, and then have the familiar give back to him?
