Dragonstyled Vivisectionist - What to do, what to choose - Thematic VS MinMax

[Alesander]

Hi!

I have been having a blast with my Alchemist! God I love this class.
Last battle i was on the outside of a town hall in a viking themed campaign.
Enlarged and sitting on the outside of the wall with spiderclimbe, I peaked in the window, then Smashed it with my first claw, then tear open the main boss with one claw and then bit him titan style with added sneak attack! What a glorious battle!

Scaled Monk 1 - Vivisectionist/Beastmorph 6

Dragon style, Weapon Focus, Feral Combat Training, Dragon Ferocity.
Stats: 18+2, 16, 16, 12+2, 10, 5+2

Extracts: Ant Haul, Deathwatch, Expeditious Retreat, Enlarge Person, Shield,
2: Invisibility, Ironskin, Spider Climb.

At lvl 7 I have one feet and one discovery + 1 retrained discovery (allowed to change my tumor familiar discovery) So 1 feat and two discoveries to select.

The last fight I was hit with a crit and lost over half my life, so survivability is important.

Wings - I get wings from drinking my mutagen with my beastmorph, so kinda unessary to select wings. However It's often after my mutagen has passed that life threatning situations comes along.
So having permanent wings would increase the odds of surviving greatly.

Tumor Familiar - it looks nice but it should come with multiple feets added along. Like improved familiar for an archetype.

I have yet to take power attack, and it adds ofc a ton of dmg. But before playing any further and to not make the other players obsetet in combat dmg wise.

Im thinking, potion glutton, alchemical allocation, and invisibility potions along with a tentacle or arm. That way I can whene imbued with mutagen, swift drink invis to get sneak attacks when i rly need it, or fly away invisible to survive a rough spot.

Thoughts? My AC is 19 without tumor familiar and mutagen.

There is a FAQ that states that tumor familiars cannot be improved familiars. That said there is nothing that prevents you from taking an archetype on a tumor familiar (other than the protector archetype as there is a specific rule that tumor familiars cant be protectors). If you happen to be a worshipper of Calistria and have a decent Con I would suggest taking Wasp familiar feat and keeping the tumor familiar discovery so that your class counts as a familiar granting class. Take the mauler archetype for ur wasp familiar. Since ur already 7th level your now medium sized wasp would have all the stats of an Imp familiar(including fast healing 2 and DR5 silver/good) and have pretty good strength. If you happen to also have a Cha of 13 or more u could take evolved familiar feats to gain it some extra attacks.
