Hello all, I am trying to create a class in pathfinder that reflects the feeling of playing a scientist like character in fallout 4. To be completely honest I don't have the slightest clue on creating a class but here are some ideas I have, I am thinking of somehow mixing the loremaster prestige with two alchemist archetypes (fumigant and the Prometheus alchemist) does anyone have the any ideas on how to do this

There are fortunately already several scientist-type classes in Pathfinder. The investigator (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/hybrid-classes/investigator) from the Advanced Class Guide, specifically when using the empiricist (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/hybrid-classes/investigator/archetypes/paizo---investigator-archetypes/empiricist) archetype. Alternatively the alchemist (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/alchemist) class can fulfil a similar purpose, swapping out the rogue-like traits for bombs and similar, with the or [url=http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/alchemist/archetypes/paizo---alchemist-archetypes/vivisectionist]vivisectionist (]visionary researcher[/url) archetypes fulfilling that concept well.

Thanks Narsil, all of those ideas seem really cool, the only problem being that I really need the Homunculous companion from the promethean version of the alchemist

My apologies fast jimmy, I can't get to a proper computer at the moment. It's basically the summoner class without spellcasting and summon monster, I replaced these two features with the alchemist's bomb ability and I gave them a bonus 2 skill points every level
