I am finding it very useful. I would like to make a build for a tiefling alchemist focused in bombs (which has the same favored class option than the half-orc) and I have some questions that I would like to ask you:<br /><br />1- Why do you spen so much discoveries on mutagen discoveries? It s true that you have a burst on attack rolls and you have a lot of attacks with a lot of penalties for using Two-Weapon Fighting, Improved TWF and Greater TWF, but if you focus on your bombs, you need also another elemental energy to change the fire damage, because you can easily find someone with fire immunity or reduction. Maybe it wll be also competitive to delete one feat from TWF or mutagen discovery to be able to use Frost Bomb, Thorny Bomb or similar. Is the same reason to prefer True Mutagen instead if Awakened Intelligence?<br /><br />2- Why you don't consider to choose Tumor familiar in order to have a familiar (armadillo for +1 AC, hedgehog for +2 will save or scorpion for +4 initiative)?<br /><br />3- Why you don't consider to choose Preserve Organs and Mummification discoveries like in Mortar Build? Is because you should sacrifice TWF feats/mutagen discoveries?<br /><br />4- Why you choose Smoke Bomb and Stink Bomb instead of Frost Bomb and Thorny Bomb or Curse Bomb for example?<br /><br />5- Why you don't choose Firebug and Focused Burn traits to this build? It will have higher focus on bombs attack rolls and damage.<br /><br />Thank you very much in advance and excuse me for the length of the postIñakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09126007149795837496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457309627892248510.post-23593973462344345722019-10-01T06:57:48.828-04:002019-10-01T06:57:48.828-04:00I think you can use the light crossbow (although i...I think you can use the light crossbow (although it has lower range than a bow) and it will obtain similar or better results than the crossbow (due to low stregth) and you have the proficiency for being alchemist.
