Hey, go ahead and start and don't worry about me. I'm working 13-hour shifts supporting the post-Hurricane Michael recovery efforts. So I'm going to try and catch-up reading posts, but I'm also damn exhausted right now.

Edit: I have no brain bytes left. I will plan on finishing this up tomorrow, if I can get decent sleep tonight.

my brain bytes have been in short supply from a just plain 8 hour a day job. I would hate to know what a 13 hour day would be like.

I am confused on feats. It is listed as a bonus feat in the OP, so does that mean that I get 1 feat at character level 1 plus the bonus feat?

I am not sure what OP is. All first level characters get one feat that can be anything they qualify for. Another feat if they are human that can be anything they qualify for. Lastly they could have one or more based on their class.

For your character you get the one feat that can be anything you qualify for. Your character is non-human so do not get the human feat. You get two bonus feats for being an alchemist which are Brew Potion and Throw Anything.

Hope this helps.

op = opening post

I have totally misread the build rules. Your post explains what I needed to know and I am sorry.

Step 5—Buy Equipment: see trait

1. Time Lost
[sblock] You’ve always felt separated from the era into which you were born. You might be suffering from missing time—whether a few hours, a few weeks, or even several months—for which you have no memories. You might instead receive brief visions of friends or enemies much older or younger than their actual age. You’ve long since grown used to this strange condition, but have not yet determined why you suffer from it. Your GM will be provided with additional information about this trait’s strange nature in the third adventure of Return of the Runelords.

You have a knack for knowing when to act a few instants in advance and gain a +2 trait bonus on Initiative checks. Once per adventure as an immediate action, you may use your strange link to the flow of time to force the GM to reroll a single d20 roll. You must declare the use of this ability immediately after the GM rolls the d20, but you can choose to do so after learning the results of the roll. [/sblock] .....

2. Lost time:
was experimenting with a potion given to him by a new client to identify, only to discover it was cursed to activate upon divination magic of any sort: time freeze, teleportation and forget magics were cast upon it to cause the victim to forget where they are from, to be transported to a specific city and to put them in a suspended state for an unknown time.

He woke in a wizard's school assembly hall, in a town of no idea and body frozen in time. The wizards did what they could do, but nothing worked, so when he spontaneously awoke 6 months later, he restarted with a new life with his alchemy skills, teaching. His knowledge of fungi and their use as reagent made him popular, despite his youthful age, however after a couple of years of life in academia, his wanderlust kicked in and the need to explore the fauna and mycology of this new land got him to point of needing a sabbatical.

With journal and travel gear in hand he settled on Rodrick's cove with an assistant from the academy to act as messenger and research assistant. There was supposedly a coastal algae that was to be used in a special tattoo ink for inducing a spell into one's skin .. .. ..

suggestion to @Tailspinner: The new client was actually the intended target of the curse, but he, the client, suspected something was amiss.

B. Trait [poss: well provisioned adventurer [lore seeker package] ] The lore seeker has the equipment necessary to delve into ancient ruins searching for lost knowledge

Weapons: Light crossbow with 10 bolts, quarterstaff, silver dagger.
Combat Gear: Alchemist’s fire (3), antitoxin, oil of erase, potions of cure light wounds (2), potion of protection from evil, tanglefoot bag, thunderstone.

C. Max gold for your class. 3d6 × 10 gp In addition, each character begins play with an outfit worth 10 gp or less.
[this is moot as it is covered by the trait] [/sblock]

Your character is non-human so do not get the human feat.

However, as a Half-Elf you do get Adaptability which gives you Skill Focus as a bonus feat.

Adaptability: Half-elves receive Skill Focus as a bonus feat at 1st level.
