So I always liked the idea of playing an adventuring merchant that relies on their inventory of goods to support their party.
This build features the fruits of this desire.
We use the base of Thaumaturge and the elf ancestry and ancient elf heritage to unlock alchemist at level 1. The reason we are using thaumaturge as our base class is to have easy access to scroll esoterica and talisman esoterica. These with advanced alchemy to give us the core of our item output. For our implements we start with regalia since we want to be able to bargain well and to give bonuses to the party to ensure we are providing even if our own damage maybe anemic. We take weapon next and out weapon of choice is going to be a gauntlet bow. This amazing piece of kit gives us free hand ranged attacks, parry, and has a capacity of 4 while still being a gauntlet. Since we will need to be holding our regalia in our other hand this is very important to allow us to switch from shooting to using our various items. The rest of the feats are to flavor. I imagine my version to be an elven merchant trying to save up to help his ravished homeland with supplies against the demon invasion.
As you can see by the end of this build we will have daily scrolls up to 7th level 4 versatile vials and 11 advanced alchemy items.
For future growth of the build I am considering how to fit in some levels of scroll trickster to get more scrolls.
