[QUOTE="RUMBLETiGER, post: 6267830, member: 6674868"] I've been enjoying getting to know the Pathfinder system, having played 3.5 for years. I'm still learning everything Pathfinder can do, and playing an Alchemist has been a great way to try things I couldn't do in 3.5. I want to acquire a variety of potions that will expand my Alchemist's options.
