[QUOTE="Ark the Pie King, post: 7576679, member: 6874479"] Why wouldn't you make Int your secondary stat? I'm going to be playing a level 8 Alchemist soon and I 100% made Dex my primary stat. Between Not-Extra Attack and Arcane Weapon you've got a ton of incentive to attack people, and by level 8 with 1 ASI and Crossbow Master I can pump out some serious hurt. With an 18 dex and a +1 weapon 1st turn is 2d10+2d6+10, 2nd turn is 2d10+3d6+14 if I'm using my bonus action to attack with my Homunculus, or it's still 2d10+2d6+10 and I'm giving someone else advantage, or giving temp HP with it. You're really underselling them at physical attackers. Their primary stat is *not* Int the same way the primary stat for Ranger isn't Wis and the primary stat for Paladin isn't Cha. They're a hybrid class, so you've got to treat them like one. Yeah they can use cantrips but if you go that route you're leaving all their best features on the table. [/QUOTE]
