So, This was a random fun idea.. Would it be possible to make a alchemist focused arround the Alchemical Simulacrum, Greater Alchemical Simulacrum and Doppleganger Simulacrum discoveries? Would they actualy be useful to have? I mean, The regular one dont seem too good, But the Greater one seems very useful. Create a copy of someone for spying and stuff, And the Doppleganger one seems useful to not get yourself killed!
What other discoveries or what archetypes would be useful for such a alchemist?

A clone master alchemist with the Alchemical Simulacrum and Doppelganger Simulacrum discoveries is almost as good as a reincarnated druid for being able to not worry so much about being "killed." Getting the formula version of lesser simulacrum saves a bit of money (50 gp per HD with the formula vs. 100 gp per HD with the discovery), too.
Having more than one or two duplicates (plus the Rebirth clone) can get expensive, but having a more-or-less expendable scout (and, with a hat of disguise, infiltrator) that doesn't need to "report back" can be very useful in a lot of circumstances.

A Clone MAster might be good! And Alchemical Simulacrum might be worse then Lesser Simulacrum due to costing more, The Greater Alchemical Simulacrum is better then the regular Simulacrum, For it just costs 100 gold per hit die aswell, While the regular Simulacrum costs 500 gold per hit dice!
It just seems like a realy fun idea, Party needs to sneak out of town while we have enemies spying on us? Grow copies with greater Alchemical Simulacrum, Have the copies walk out of town in the middle of the day in the opposite direction we are traveling, Enemies start following them and we sneak out in the night!
