Advice

Silver Crusade

(Fermenter/Sacremental Alchemist)
Prefered Drink:Alluring philter

Traits:Firebug
Focused Burn

2.Alchemical Strike
4.Tanglefoot Bomb
6.Explosive Bomb
8.Blinding Bomb
12.Sticky Bomb

Bonus Feat:Throw Anything
1.Concentrated Splash
3.Point Blank Shot
5.Precise Shot
7.Splash Weapon Mastery
9.Instant Alchemy
11.Arcing Lob
13.Improved Initiative

General idea is a more tribal concoction maker who specializes in thrown splash weapons.


For a dedicated bomber, not bad. It's a single bomb every time from the looks of it. And offer very little else outside of bombs, in my opinion.

I literally cannot even imagine building an Alchemist without Infusion...

If you aren't supporting your party with Alchemy, then why? Just be a blaster/Sorcerer. To me, the WHOLE thing about Alchemists is how stupid helpful they always can be.

Such a narrow focus seems like a waste of a lot of opportunity to help your party.

Damage will happen.

Does the party have an archer, a blaster, a spellcaster with accidental blasting power, a mobile martial? Maybe you should branch out...

The Exchange

Going from original build:

The only things I see that you are missing are
1. Precise Bombs discovery
2. Your bonus discovery from Divinely Inspired Alchemy. (This can change daily, but you probably have a preferred “default”.)
3. You have several bomb discoveries but none that change the damage type from fire (for resistant/immune enemies).

Personally I think you have several feats and discoveries that might be useful for a level or two then not used after that. Concentrated Splash is a minuscule amount of damage and you probably won’t be throwing alchemical items for damage (maybe for effect) very often after about 5th level or so because you have a decent amount of Bombs per day. You have three bomb discoveries with asterisks, so you can only use one of them on each bomb. You’ll probably find that once you have all three you never use one of them.

OH hey thanks for bringing that up this means i can just use that to get infusion and make it interchangable. Also i'm well aware that fire resistant enemies kinda hinder this build, but thats kind of the point since it suppose to be more tribalesque and so wouldn't have access to anything much more sophisitcated.


There are some not necessarily technically sophisticated bomb damage type discoveries - boneshard bomb, holy bombs, thorny bomb - but it's your character.
