Paragon Paths -- Chemical Soldier
Sufficiently advanced magic… is still no match for my science. 

Prerequisite: Alchemist feat

There are those who tame the magic of creation to work mighty spells. There are those that hone their bodies to perform truly awesome feats of prowess. There are those that call upon the power of the gods to make miracles happen.

Those people are simply blind to what the mind can do simply by applying the principles of the natural world directly. Those that aren’t blind in this way, who wish to use this knowledge to further their adventuring career become chemical soldiers.

Using their knowledge of alchemy, they wield it with unmatched precision and creativity to further their goals in the world.

Chemical Soldier Path Features

Chemical Expertise (11th level): You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with alchemical items or weapons treated with alchemical items. Additionally, whenever you create an alchemical item, you may create a second such item at half the regular price.

Something Up My Sleeve (11th level): When you spend an action point to make an attack, you can make a second attack with an alchemical item as a free action.

Chemical Master (16th level): Alchemical items you use that deal damage are treated as if they have the high crit property. Additionally, whenever you create an alchemical item, you may create a second such item at no cost.
