Greater Mutagen

Prerequisites: Alchemist 6, Mutagen class ability

Benefit: An alchemist who selects this discovery can improve the effects of his mutagen, gaining the following abilities instead of those listed for the standard mutagen:

• A +4 bonus to natural armor
• Instantly gains 10 + (2 x Alchemist Level) in hit points, and the Alchemist's maximum hit points increase by the same amount.
• +6 alchemy bonus to Strength and a -2 penalty to Intelligence.
• +2 alchemy bonus to Fortitude and Reflex saves, and a -2 penalty to Will saves.
• A base attack (BAB) equal to his Alchemist level. This also impacts their CMB and CMD values.
• Natural claw attacks, doing 1d6 base damage each, and a bite attack, doing 1d8 base damage. These attacks do the same damage regardless of your base size. While in mutation form, all Attacks of Opportunity and bonus attacks are made using this claw damage. (Note that this base damage increases at level 8 and at level 15, as per standard melee weapon rules.)
• The alchemist's natural attacks are considered magic for purposes of overcoming DR.
• The effects of the mutagen last for 10 minutes per Alchemist level.
