It has a damage output of about 70% of a fighter which is still pretty good.<br /><br />The summoner can also cover the "face" role for the group. I'm still trying to decide if I want to go Inquisitor or Witch. It will probably come down to what the others end up picking.Obirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423387256920495798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16553938.post-84605945950035336282010-04-16T13:25:21.497-06:002010-04-16T13:25:21.497-06:00I started taking a closer look at the summoner and...I started taking a closer look at the summoner and I have to say, even though it may not be the superhero class it once was, the build-a-beast erector set you get with the class is tons of fun. I especially like that you can reassign your eidolon's evolution pool each time you gain a level. It allows for a lot of experimentation over the course of a campaign. If N allows it, I may play a summoner in the Kingmaker AP.Rognarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16325723561313536356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16553938.post-83023419759929096172010-04-15T17:58:14.468-06:002010-04-15T17:58:14.468-06:00I know its not a class skill.

So, an alchemist can still toss alchemist's fire and acid flasks to good effect.Rognarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16325723561313536356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16553938.post-9392576843177625862010-04-14T21:59:11.264-06:002010-04-14T21:59:11.264-06:00I also wish you could pick pockets in combat with ...I also wish you could pick pockets in combat with the sleight of hand skill if it was high enough. Alas it specifically says this doesn't work. I think it would be fine if the DC was sufficiently high.<br /><br />Yes. Poison is really only viable against significant opponents - the same ones who are mostly not to be effected by it.Obirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423387256920495798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16553938.post-91726881922585749612010-04-14T21:39:14.284-06:002010-04-14T21:39:14.284-06:00I think the Alchemist could very playable if poiso...I think the Alchemist could very playable if poison rules were changed to make them more useful in combat. Right now, they are just too expensive for the damage they cause.Rognarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16325723561313536356noreply@blogger.com
