Just a note, the 3rd PDF from Paizo is out for the classes: Alchemist and Inquisitor. A quick look at Alchemist seems intersting.

Yeah, out of the 6 classes being play-tested, only the Summoner and Alchemist seem to be the most ready to hit the streets and as such the easiest to already incorporate.

Other than being designed to be played selfish and as a loner by nature, I can't really find any major flaws the alchemist initially. Rather sound.

Inquisitor is a hurried-all-slap-everything-good-you-can-think-of type of class. Needs major work and by itself would make a better NPC than PC. He kind of steals the spotlight, generally working for a higher order and as such himself. Not very party friendly, unless of course, they too are working for the same said order.

Still work a looksee...

I did look at Alchemist. Unfortunately, it forces you to play a character that mutates himself if you want to use the class to its best ability. That's not what I think of when I think Alchemist. Alas, it's not just an option, but rather a core ability of the class. In my opinion, that puts a slant on the class that immediately makes it unsuitable for a number of genres and groups.

Unfortunate.

It seems, Alchemist that is, that its more like a Witcher from The Witcher video game, than something like an Artificer, with the Mutagen power.

We'll be giving the Summoner a good testing in this game, now won't we Trogdor?

You folks may notice I've awarded 2nd level to you all!

As you level up the guys let me know, and feel free to chatter here about it so your fellows know what you are taking, etc.

I see Torrak is finished already!
