But there are a lot of good things out there for it.. In a low magic world I'd say that, for a price, the alchemist could duplicate just about any spell out there.. given time, proper reagents, research, training, etc.. What are big powerful creatures for other than turning into potions and salves?? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> One of my characters had a specially designed portable hole that I would toss whole chuncks of recently dead creatures for later study..Anyway though, as for the expert class.. something like thisevery even level skill focus, each time you must choose a different skill. 5 skill points per level, when they enter the class they must choose 10 skills.A special feat is developed that can be taken everytime a character has a multiple of 4 skill focus's, this feat raises all skill focus feats by +1.I would even go so far as to suggest at some higher level (8+ perhaps) that they gain another ability that takes away the double cost of cross classed skill.. they still have the max rank penalty, but dont have to pay double.Now you have a character.If I was in a low/no magic campaign world and I wasnt able to take a spellcaster I would go for this guy.. if there was no rogue. Skills are very nice, but generally not incredibly pervasive, and almost never useful in combat for a huge effect (tumble is nice but it doesnt help you do much besides get into position, if you have nothing to do once you are there then you are in trouble). In a campaign with little combat this guy could definately shine.If you are keeping all of the other classes then I would also suggest at really high levels special abilities like the rogue. Sortof a, 'I know so much about everything that I can gain XXXX'. List out some special things like being able to take 10 or 15 on knowledge checks, treat everything that you craft as though it had the +10 difficulty but without actually having to get that high (ie craft dc 20, whenever he rolls for a check he has to beat 20 but it is multiplied as though it was a 30), being able to take 10 on skills just like the rogues ability, bonus feat chosen from a list of your choosing.I know you didnt make the class <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> I am not really sure what it was designed for in the first place.. sorry to keep making suggestions about it if they arent useful somehow.. Are you going to leave all other classes intact other than wizard, sorcerer and druid? Cleric is a real powerhouse of spell casting, bard can be as well actually if made properly, just not as much as the other casters..</blockquote>
