All recipes require a mold (5 gold * skill required in cost, one mold per item listed below), an alchemical crafting station, and a pestle used on the station that has the mold (the only ingredient).
Craft Alchemy skill gives a +1 damage per 5 ranks and +1 DC per 10 ranks.

Craft Alchemy skill gives a +1 damage per 5 ranks and +1 DC per 10 ranks. There is a 1% chance per rank of Craft Alchemy above the required skill to craft a second, free item with each crafting attempt. Example, a 30 skill character crafting a Lesser Acid Flask has a 26% chance to craft 2 flasks for the price of 1.
Lesser Acid Flask, 1d4 Acid, 4 Skill
Epic Acid Flask, 6d6 Acid, 28 Skill
A character with a 30 skill would create a lesser acid flask that does 1d4 +6 damage.
A character with a 100 skill would create a lesser acid flask that does 1d4 +20 damage.
A character with a 30 skill would create a Epic acid flask that does 6d6 +6 damage.
A character with a 100 skill would create a Epic acid flask that does 6d6 +20 damage.
To be honest I never thought about the DC for the grenades so they should probably have a reflex DC save equal to the crafter's skill. I was probably thinking that they wouldn't have a DC at all (no save).
Lesser Flash Powder, Invisibility (3 rds) , 4 Skill
Epic Flash Powder, Invisibility (3 rds) , 28 Skill

1 Craft Bag that checks for one of each of the above listed gem sets and creates 1 of 6 scrolls.
Each scroll has all the localvars set for which gem was used. When the scroll is used, it reads those localvars to determine the spells properties. Thus a player will have to experiment to unlock what everything is. The only thing they will know for sure is the spell power gems. The rest will come from research. Scrolls will not have a name other than 'Researched spell' and it can't be learned by a wizard. It will always pass a UMD check. The highest level of a base class with casting is what is used for the scroll. A bard 9/wiz 1/EK 10 (wiz)/ASoC 10(wiz) is going to be treated as a bard for the feat (no realistic way around that problem). Might put in a 5% chance for any gem to actually provide a different effect (chaos crafting ftw).
The feat will have a number of uses per day to limit how often these can be created (to avoid abuse).
Damage spells deal d6 per caster level up to a cap of (3 + (3 * spell level)). So a level 9 spell will scale to 30d6 while a level 3 spell will scale to 12d6.
It's essentially 24 spells (6 target types X 4 shapes) that use the item activator to read all of their effects (element, effect, etc).

The messy nature of google blogging...
Posting up each class as a post is the only way this site will allow me to do content as there is a hard 20 page limit on unique pages. I'm going to look into a wiki that I can use that allows me to easily add footers (the creative license) and that is far, FAR easier to maintain than the wiki I use now for published content.
I also want to keep published/non-published content separate due to the whole 1.41.4 issue. I'm potentially looking into the generation of a PDF for published content that will actually have the latest description. Something I can package in a zip with a password. ;)
Food for thought.

Spellthief
[spoiler="Spellthief"]
Class Requirements:
Level 2 Sorcerer or Wizard.
Class Features
This base class has 28 levels.
HD: d6
BAB: Medium
High Saves: Ref, Will
Weapon proficiency: Simple.
Armor proficiency: Light Armor.
Class Skills: Appraise, Bluff, Concentration, Craft (All), Disable Device, Hide, Listen, Lore, Move Silently, Open Lock, Parry, Search, Spellcraft, Spot, Tumble, and UMD.
Skill Points: 6 + Int modifier
Class Abilities
Sneak Attack: If a spellthief can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and it increases by 1d6 every 4 spellthief levels thereafter (2d6 at 5th, 3d6 at 9th, etc).
Armored Mage: Normally, armor of any type interferes with an arcane spellcaster's gestures, which can cause your spells to fail if those spells have a somatic component. A spellthief's limited focus and specialized training, however, allow you to avoid any chance of arcane spell failure as long as you restrict yourself to light armor.
Trapfinding: A spellthief can use the Search skill to locate traps with a DC higher than 20, and he can use Disable Device to bypass a trap or disarm magic traps. See the rogue class feature.
Steal Spell: A spellthief can siphon spell energy away from his target and use it to benefit himself. A spellthief gains a concealment equal to his spellthief class level. This bonus lasts for three minutes and has a one minute cooldown.
Spellgrace: A spellthief of 2nd level or higher gains a +1 competence bonus on his saves against spells. This bonus improves to +2 at 11th level, to +3 at 20th level, and to +4 at 28th level.
Steal Energy Resistance: Beginning at 3rd level, a spellthief can siphon off some or all of a target's resistance to an energy type (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic). A spellthief gains resistance 10 to the chosen energy type while the target suffers a 5% vulnerability to the element. The resistance a spellthief gains from using this ability lasts for 1 minute.
At 11th level, a spellthief can steal resistance 20 to an energy type by using this ability, at 19th level he can steal resistance 30 to an energy type, and at 27th level he can steal resistance 40 to an energy type.
Spellcasting: At each odd level, a spellthief gains new spells per day, plus another effective casting level, as if they progressed in an arcane spellcasting class that they had prior to becoming a spellthief (sorcerer or wizard).
Absorb Spell: When using the "Spell Mantle" spell, a spellthief adds half his level to the number of spell levels turned.
Steal Spell Resistance: Beginning at 15th level, a spellthief can steal some or all of a creature's spell resistance. A spellthief reduces the target's spell resistance by 5. The spellthief also gains spell resistance equal to 5 + his class level (up to a maximum value equal to the original spell resistance of the target). The stolen spell resistance benefits the spellthief for a number of rounds equal to the spellthief's level.
Bonus Epic Feats: The spellthief gains a bonus epic feat at levels 22, 25, and 28.

A spellthief gains resistance 10 to the chosen energy type while the target suffers a 5% vulnerability to the element. The resistance a spellthief gains from using this ability lasts for 1 minute.
At 11th level, a spellthief can steal resistance 20 to an energy type by using this ability, at 19th level he can steal resistance 30 to an energy type, and at 27th level he can steal resistance 40 to an energy type.
Spellcasting: At each odd level, a spellthief gains new spells per day, plus another effective casting level, as if they progressed in an arcane spellcasting class that they had prior to becoming a spellthief (sorcerer or wizard).
Absorb Spell: When using the "Spell Mantle" spell, a spellthief adds half his level to the number of spell levels turned.
Steal Spell Resistance: Beginning at 15th level, a spellthief can steal some or all of a creature's spell resistance. A spellthief reduces the target's spell resistance by 5. The spellthief also gains spell resistance equal to 5 + his class level (up to a maximum value equal to the original spell resistance of the target). The stolen spell resistance benefits the spellthief for a number of rounds equal to the spellthief's level.
Bonus Epic Feats: The spellthief gains a bonus epic feat at levels 22, 25, and 28.

Harmonic Blade: All Songblades start with a harmonic blade which is a finely crafted adamantine bastard sword (without the magic damage bonus). It is the only weapon they are skilled with and they suffer a -8 attack penalty if they try to use a different weapon. They may not be disarmed while using this blade. Her order dictates that she may never wear armor or use a shield at all (all class abilities will be disabled).
Song of Alacrity (Stance): While wielding her harmony blade, the Songblade is free to move about the battlefield singing and slashing her enemies with great speed. This combat stance is equivalent to the haste and freedom of movement spells. Only one stance may be active at a time.
Weapon of Choice: The Songblade has chosen the bastard sword as her weapon of choice.
Perceptive Defense: At 2nd level, the Songblade learns to predict the movements and physical nuances of her enemies and adapt her defenses to handle the anticipated attack. She adds her Intelligence modifier as a Dodge AC bonus.
Song of Defense (Stance): At 5th level, the Songblade learns to focus her efforts and her songs on defense instead of moving about the field of battle with abandon. She gains a +1 shield enhance AC bonus which improves by +1 for every 6 levels she has (+2 at 6th to +6 at 30th). She also gains a bonus to her saving throws equal to her Intelligence bonus. She may not be knocked down, paralyzed, dazed, stunned, or subject to sneak attacks and critical hits while in this stance. Only one stance may be active at a time.
Dulcet Echo: At 5th level, the Songblade begins to channel arcane magic into her blade provide it with the equivalent of a +1 enhancement bonus. This bonus improves by +1 for each additional 5 levels the songblade attains.
Adamantine Shield: At 6th level, the Songblade's defensive skill with her harmonic blade is such she gains a +3deflection bonus. This bonus increases to +4 at 10th level, +5 at 15th, +6 at 20th, +7 at 25th, and +8 at 30th.
Improved Perceptive Defense: At 11th level, the Songblade's defenses improve even further granting her spell resistance equal to 14 plus her class level.
Dissonant Strike: At 9th level, the Songblade may make a single attack in a round against a class that uses magic (any base class that has access to spells including Hexblade) which will disrupt the magic surrounding them. This is treated as a disjunction with a caster level equal to the Songblade's class level. This attack automatically hits but only does damage equal to twice her Intelligence modifier. The subject suffers a concentration penalty equal to the songblade's Intelligence modifier. This strike may only be used while the Song of Dissonance is active.
Song of Dissonance (Stance): At 9th level, the Songblade's learns a song of disharmony which allows her to use her Dissonant Strike ability. Only one stance may be active at a time. She also gains elemental and sonic damage resistance equal to twice her class level as well as immunity to death magic, curses, and the bigby spells.
Song of Rest (Stance): At 13th level, the Songblade learns a song of fortitude and respite, allowing her to recuperate from battle quicker. She gains regeneration equal to her class level / 6 (maximum 5 at 30th) and damage reduction equal to her class level / 2 (maximum DR 15/- at 30th).
New Feat: Improved Spell Resistance (+3 SR)
New Feat: Improved Echo (Dulcet Echo gains a +1)
**
The class is on the very low end for AC (much less than a rogue and no UMD either) but on the high end for AB. They have four primary combat styles (hasted+fom, defensive, rest, anti-magic) they can switch between as needed. They have NO access to stealth or UMD and may not take ANY other classes. I will probably replaced Exotic with Songblade and have the Bastard usable by both Exotic and Songblade which means they can *only* use that weapon.

Keep in mind the damage likely needs to be toned down since this was part of a different planned ruleset.

Is this essentially an elemental warlock? Or is it weaker than a warlock?
It's pretty different. The only thing it has in common with a warlock is unlimited casting and the ability to vary shapes with their blasts.
It has the ability to vary up their damage shapes as they desire. Think of it more like a war mage who wears armor and shields and channels the elements into the battlefield. Cones, bursts, ranged AE, bolts, chains, touchs.
It has no defensive spells or abilities of any kind, no buffs, invisibility, or anything to keep it out of harms way. Even at 14th when they can turn on the mode that will heal them slightly it's not going to be much (max 16 pts at 30th, 7 pts when they get it) and they lose the damage bonus or the ability to avoid harming allies to keep that mode active. Low hit points too.
It's a classic glass cannon style.

Artificer
Forgot I had this base class write up buried on my website (from June 2009 LOL).
Artificers are perhaps the ultimate magical dabblers. They can use just about any spell from a wand or scroll, empower ordinary items with a temporary magical power, repair damage constructs (including warforged), alter the function of existing magic items, as well as1 craft magic items and constructs. They have a limited list of their own spell-like infusions that they can apply to objects, and they can also work with any of the spells on other classes' spell lists. Their magic is neither arcane nor divine, and they are not bound by that limitation. Their trade is magic in its most abstract (they might say purest) form.

Well, at the time I was debating either a new custom crafting system or more likely putting 5 subradials under each feat that would choose which rod/staff you craft (at the cost of gold and/or xp).
Example would be:
a) Defensive (Ghostly Visage at 1 charge/use, Stoneskin at 2 charges/use, Summon Creature VI at 3 charges/use)
b) Offensive (Electric Loop at 1 charge/use, Ice Storm at 2 charges/use, Chain Lightning at 3 charges/use)
c) Utility (Mage Armor at 1 charge/use, Greater Resistance at 2 charges/use, Greater Heroism at 3 charges/use)
d) Metamagic (one random metamagic feat)
e) Magic (Shield at 1 charge/use, Spell Mantle at 2 charges/use, Greater Spell Breach at 3 charges/use)
Staff would be the same except it would add the following
a) Summon Creature VIII at 4 charges/use
b) Polar Ray at 4 charges/use
c) Blackstaff at 4 charges/use
d) Second metamagic feat
e) Protection from Spells at 4 charges/use
CL of 10-15 for rods, 20-25 for staves.

Purity of Focus: The arcane disciple focuses on the bond between magical energies and her application of those energies nearly to the exclusion of all other studies. Any arcane disciple who takes levels in another class suffers a penalty (-4 to effective class level) when using her arcane disciple abilities. The arcane disciple must use a quarterstaff (with both hands) as a weapon and may not use any armor for her class abilities to function.
Arcane Defense: The arcane disciple channels magical energy into a defensive shell that acts as a second skin. This provides a deflection AC bonus equal to half her class level and an armor enhance bonus equal to her Constitution bonus (which stacks with any armor enhancement bonus on your chest or bracers). The armor enhance bonus is capped by the number of levels in the class. The Constitution modifer only uses your natural score and any items you have that boost Con (no spells). Arcane Defense is affected by the Purity of Focus restriction.
Arcane Source: At 4th level, the arcane disciple must choose to focus on either weave magic or shadow magic as the source of her developing powers. This choice affects many of her class abilities.
Arcane Pool: The arcane disciple has a reserve of magical energy which can be expended through her quarterstaff to deliver special blows to her enemies. Initially she can channel this ability three times per day and this amount increases for every 4 levels she gains.
Dispelling Strike: The arcane disciple channels her arcane pool to deliver a blow that unbinds the very essence of magic from the enemy she strikes. If she succeeds on a melee touch attack, the enemy is subjected to a dispel attempt. Undead and Outsiders struck by this blow must succeed on a fortitude save (DC 10 + Class Level + Con modifier, beings with more hit dice than class levels are not affected) or be destroyed (outsiders are sent back to the plane of their origin). Arcane disciples with Weave Magic inflict a penalty to concentration checks equal to class level but are capped at level - 5 on their dispel attempt. Arcane disciples with Shadow Magic are uncapped on their dispel attempt. Dispelling Strike is affected by the Purity of Focus restriction.
Arcane Combat: The arcane disciple gains a magic damage bonus on her melee attacks equal to her Constitution modifier (base modifier and items are accounted for, not spells). She gains an attack bonus equal to her Dexterity modifier when using a quarterstaff. Arcane Disciples with Weave Magic inflict an additional +2 damage while those with Shadow Magic gain a +1 Dodge AC bonus.
Arcane Ward: The arcane disciple gains spell resistance equal to 10 plus her class level as well as 15% concealment. Arcane Disciples with Weave Magic gain an additional 4 points of spell resistance while those with Shadow Magic gain an additional 5% concealment. Arcane Ward is affected by the Purity of Focus restriction.
Arcane Blow: The arcane disciple channels her arcane pool to deliver a blow that unleashes the very essence of magic against the enemy she strikes. If she succeeds on a melee touch attack she attempts to knock down her opponent (with a +4 bonus) and the enemy takes 1d10 magic damage for every point of Constitution modifier (base modifier plus items, no spells). Arcane Disciples with Weave Magic gain a further +2 on the knockdown attempt while those with Shadow Magic gain an additional 2d10 damage.
Swift Strikes: At 10th level the arcane disciple becomes imbued with haste while using the quarterstaff. At 20th level the arcane disciple gains a second bonus attack with a quarterstaff. At 30th level the arcane disciple gains a third bonus attack with a quarterstaff. Swift Strikes is affected by the Purity of Focus restriction.
Arcane Blast: The arcane disciple channels her arcane pool to strike the ground with such force that a wave of magic energy pulses outwards. Any enemies within a 40' radius takes 1d10 magic damage for every point of Strength modifier (base modifier plus items, no spells) and must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + Class Level + Con modifier) or be slowed for 1 minute. Arcane Disciples with Weave Magic gain a further +4 DC for the slow effect while those with Shadow Magic gain an additional 2d10 damage. Arcane Blast is affected by the Purity of Focus restriction.
Arcane Shot: The arcane disciple channels her arcane pool to strike an enemy at range with a blazing bolt of magic energy. If she succeeds on a ranged touch attack, the target takes 1d10 magic damage for every point of Dexterity modifier (base modifier plus items, no spells) and must make a Reflex save (DC 10 + Class Level + Con modifier) or be blinded for 1 minute. Arcane Disciples with Weave Magic gain a further +4 DC for the blind effect while those with Shadow Magic gain an additional 2d10 damage. Arcane Shot is affected by the Purity of Focus restriction.
New Feats:
Extra Arcane Pool (+3 Uses)
Notes: The DCs may need to be 1/2 class level. The damage may need to be increased for the strikes. New feats could be used to increase DC or increase damage. Needs a capstone (level 20) ability? 18th seems to be a dead spot, maybe added an ability that burns an arcane pool use for a moderate self-heal? AC may be a touch too high.

Level 30:
Spells: A summoner casts arcane spells drawn from the summoner spell list. He can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time, assuming he has not yet used up his allotment of spells per day for the spell's level. To learn or cast a spell, a summoner must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a summoner's spell is 10 + the spell level + the summoner's Charisma modifier. A summoner can cast summoner spells while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. His spells affect his Eidolon or summons when he casts the spell on himself.
Summon Eidolon: A summoner begins play with the ability to summon to his side a powerful outsider called an eidolon. The eidolon forms a link with the summoner, who, forever after, summons an aspect of the same creature. An eidolon has the same alignment as the summoner that calls it and can speak all of his languages. The eidolon can be summoned once every three minutes.
Eidolon Shapes: Angel, Demon, Devil, Dragon, Fey (Dryad), Undead (Female Vampire), Elemental (4), Spider
Summon Monster: Starting at 1st level, a summoner can cast summon monster as a spell-like ability a number of times per day equal to half his class level. The spell level is equal to half his class level, rounded up. For example: Summon Monster VI at 11th level.
Drawing upon this ability uses up the same power as the summoner uses to call his eidolon. As a result, he can only use this ability when his eidolon is not summoned (or dead). He can cast this spell as a standard action and the creatures remain for 1 minute per level. At 19th level, this ability becomes the equivalent of the gate spell.
Reserve Feat Mastery: Your activation level for reserve feats is equal to half his class level, rounded up.
Augment Summoning: Each creature you conjure with any summon spell (as well as your Eidolon) gains a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength and Constitution for the duration of the spell that summoned it.
Shield Master: At 4th level, whenever a summoner is within his eidolon's reach, the summoner receives a +2 circumstance bonus on his saving throws. At 12th level, this bonus increases to +4.
S1 - 1 at 1st, 2 at 2nd, 3 at 3rd, 4 at 5th, and 5 at 9th
S2 - 1 at 4th, 2 at 5th, 3 at 6th, 4 at 8th, and 5 at 12th

Spells: A summoner casts arcane spells drawn from the summoner spell list. He can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time, assuming he has not yet used up his allotment of spells per day for the spell's level. To learn or cast a spell, a summoner must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a summoner's spell is 10 + the spell level + the summoner's Charisma modifier. A summoner can cast summoner spells while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. His spells affect his Eidolon or summons when he casts the spell on himself.
Summon Eidolon: A summoner begins play with the ability to summon to his side a powerful outsider called an eidolon. The eidolon forms a link with the summoner, who, forever after, summons an aspect of the same creature. An eidolon has the same alignment as the summoner that calls it and can speak all of his languages. The eidolon can be summoned once every three minutes.
Eidolon Shapes: Angel, Demon, Devil, Dragon, Fey (Dryad), Undead (Female Vampire), Elemental (4), Spider
Summon Monster: Starting at 1st level, a summoner can cast summon monster as a spell-like ability a number of times per day equal to half his class level. The spell level is equal to half his class level, rounded up. For example: Summon Monster VI at 11th level.
Drawing upon this ability uses up the same power as the summoner uses to call his eidolon. As a result, he can only use this ability when his eidolon is not summoned (or dead). He can cast this spell as a standard action and the creatures remain for 1 minute per level. At 19th level, this ability becomes the equivalent of the gate spell.
Reserve Feat Mastery: Your activation level for reserve feats is equal to half his class level, rounded up.
Augment Summoning: Each creature you conjure with any summon spell (as well as your Eidolon) gains a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength and Constitution for the duration of the spell that summoned it.
Shield Master: At 4th level, whenever a summoner is within his eidolon's reach, the summoner receives a +2 circumstance bonus on his saving throws. At 12th level, this bonus increases to +4.

Knight Base Class
A knight is a proud, skilled melee combatant who fights in the name of honor and chivalry. A knight relies on more than a sharp sword and a stout suit of armor to defeat her foes. Her drive, determination, and fighting spirit allow her to control the battlefield in ways that others cannot match. A knight can challenge an opponent to a duel, calling upon the foe's pride and ego to force his hand. The knight's talent with heavy armor, shields, and defensive tactics grant her the ability to disrupt her foe's plans.
Only the most talented rogues and monks can slip past a knight's defenses to strike at her allies. An adventuring group with wizards, sorcerers, and other lightly armored members thrives with the assistance of a knight. While the knight keeps enemies occupied, her allies can use their talents and abilities without fear of attack or harassment.

Knight's Challenge: Your dauntless fighting spirit plays a major role in your fighting style, as important as the strength of your arm or the sharpness of your blade. in battle, you use the force of your personality to challenge your enemies. You can call out foes or issue a general challenge that strikes fear into weak opponents. By playing on your enemies' ego, you can manipulate your foes.
You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to your class level. As you gain levels, you gain a number of options that consume uses of this ability.
***
Battle Fervor: As an instant action, you can issue a challenge to your enemies, gaining a +1 bonus on Will saves, attack rolls, and damage rolls. The effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to 5 + your Constitution bonus (if any). This expends one use of your Knight's Challenge ability. This bonus does not stack with a bard's Inspire Courage.
At 7th level, the bonus you gain from this ability increases to +2. At 13th level, it rises to +3. At 19th level, it increases to +4. At 25th level, it increases to +5. At 30th level, it increases to +6.

As an instant action, you can expend one use of your Knight's Challenge ability to grant an ally a bonus against fear effects equal to your Constitution modifier as well as a number of temporary hit points equal to your knight level. If the ally's current hit point total is less than half his normal hit points, the number of temporary hit points granted to that character is doubled. The temporary hit points last for up to 1 minute per knight level. This ability does not stack with Adrenaline Boost.
***
Starting at 12th level, a knight can issue a daunting challenge as an instant action. Like a test of mettle, this is a general challenge to all foes within 100 feet. Affected creatures must make a Will save (DC 10 + knight level + the knight's Constitution modifier). Creatures that fail this save are shaken. A shaken character takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws.
***
Shield Block: Starting at 2nd level, you excel in using your armor and shield to frustrate your enemy's attacks. You gain DR/- equal to your base shield AC plus your Shield Block value (+1 at level 2), your Shield enhance value, and the bonus from any Shield Specialization feats.
This shield bonus increases to +2 at 11th level, +3 at 20th level, and +4 at 29th level.
For example: A level 20 Knight (+3 Shield Block) using a heavy shield +4 who has the Greater Shield Specialization feat has DR 11/- against physical attacks.
***
Rescue: Blocks 50% of damage dealt to allies, the knight takes the other half.
***
Improved Rescue: Blocks 100% of damage dealt to allies, knight takes 80% of that damage.

My original Knight write-up had Mocking Blow which I may still do, but it depends on how the AI reacts to it. I'm not sure it's a good idea letting players have access to an ability that will force NPCs to attack them (even limiting it to hostiles only).
[spoiler="Mocking Blow"]
- <b>Mocking Challenge:</b> Starting at 4th level, you can shout a challenge to all enemies, calling out for them to face you in combat. As a swift action, you can expend one use of your Knight's Challenge ability to cause all your enemies (except for players) within 100' to make Will saves (DC 10 + 1/2 your Knight level + your Con modifier). Creatures that fail this save are forced to attack you.

My original Knight write-up had Mocking Blow which I may still do, but it depends on how the AI reacts to it. I'm not sure it's a good idea letting players have access to an ability that will force NPCs to attack them (even limiting it to hostiles only).
[spoiler="Mocking Blow"]
- <b>Mocking Challenge:</b> Starting at 4th level, you can shout a challenge to all enemies, calling out for them to face you in combat. As a swift action, you can expend one use of your Knight's Challenge ability to cause all your enemies (except for players) within 100' to make Will saves (DC 10 + 1/2 your Knight level + your Con modifier). Creatures that fail this save are forced to attack you.

Level 29: Bonus Epic Feat
Healers gain a bonus epic feat at 20th, 23rd, 25th, 26th, and 29th level.
Spells per Day/Spells Known: When a new healer level is gained, the character gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as though he had gained a level in either cleric or favored soul. If the character has more than one applicable divine spellcasting class, he must pick one to improve at 1st level.
[color=red]Special Spells and Feats: Divine Power only provides a +1 AB bonus when Healer levels are present. The Divine Might and Epic Divine Might feats will fail when used by a Healer. In addition, the following spells will automatically fail when cast by a Healer: xxx[/color]
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Healers are proficient with all simple weapons and with light armor.
Healing Hands: Whenever a healer casts a healer spell that cures hit point damage, she adds her Charisma modifier to the amount of damage healed. For instance, if a 5th-level healer with an 18 Charisma casts cure light wounds, she cures 1d8+5 points of damage normally, plus an additional 4 points of damage due to her Charisma bonus.
Channel Energy: A healer can release a wave of positive energy by channeling the power of her faith through her holy symbol. Channeling energy causes a burst that affects all creatures in a 30-foot radius centered on the healer. The amount of damage dealt (to undead) or healed is equal to 1d6 points of damage plus 1d6 points of damage for every two healer levels beyond 1st (2d6 at 3rd, 3d6 at 5th, and so on). Creatures that take damage from channeled energy receive a Will save to halve the damage. The DC of this save is equal to 10 + 1/2 the healer's level + the healer's Charisma modifier. Creatures healed by channeled energy cannot exceed their maximum hit point total — all excess healing is lost. Each use of Channel Energy consumes a use of Turn Undead.
Divine Grace: At 2nd level, a healer gains a bonus equal to her Charisma bonus on all saving throws.
Cleanse: You may expend a use of Turn Undead to cleanse the conditions from an ally (or yourself). At 2nd level your cleanse ability removes the fatigued condition. At 5th level, your clenase ability removes any diseases. At 8th level, your cleanse ability removes any poisons. At 11th level, your cleanse ability removes paralysis. At 14th level, your cleanse ability removes blindness and deafness. At 17th level, your cleanse ability removes curses. At 20th level, your cleanse ability restores life to the dead.
Enhanced Cures: At 3rd level, whenever you cast a cure spell as a healer, the maximum number of hit points healed is based on your healer level, not the limit based on the spell. For example, an 11th-level healer may cast cure light wounds to heal 1d8+11 hit points instead of the normal 1d8+5 maximum.
Protective Blessing: At 5th level, the duration of the Divine Shield feat is doubled when you use it.
Healer's Blessing: At 7th level, all of your healer spells are treated as if they were empowered, increasing the amount of damage healed by half (+50%). This does not apply to damage dealt to undead with a cure spell.
Divine Health: At 8th level, a healer is immune to all diseases, including magical diseases such as mummy rot and lycanthropy.
Improved Healer's Blessing: At 12th level, all of your healer spells are treated as if they were maximized. This power replaces the Healer's Blessing empower effect.
Fortunate Fate Ability: At 13th level, you can expend the use of a memorized Resurrection spell in order to cast the Fortunate Fate spell on an ally (or yourself).
Greater Healer's Blessing: At 16th level, all of your healer spells are treated as if they are both maximized and empowered.
Foresight Ability: At 13th level, you can expend the use of a memorized Mass Heal spell in order to cast the Foresight spell on yourself.
Disjunction Ability: At 13th level, you can expend the use of a memorized Mass Heal spell in order to cast the Disjunction spell.
Champion of Life: Upon reaching 20th level, you become a perfect channel for life energy. You become immune to bleed, death attacks, exhaustion, fatigue, ability damage, nausea effects, negative levels, and sickened effects. In addition, whenever she uses the channel energy ability to heal a creature, she heals the maximum possible amount.

Alchemist Base Class
Notes:
Using bombs will likely be restricted to light armor. Bombs will probably have a rather hefty penalty (on the order of the -8 Sacred Fist penalty) when using medium/heavy armor or a shield. Fast bombs won't work at all in medium/heavy armor or when using a shield and probably wont be in the first release, if ever.
Accurate Finesse is like Intuitive Strikes. If your Int is higher than your Dex, you get the extra bonus (up to +4). So Dex mod +4.
[spoiler="Alchemist"]Alchemist
Whether secreted away in a smoky basement laboratory or gleefully experimenting in a well-respected school of magic, the alchemist is often regarded as being just as unstable, unpredictable, and dangerous as the concoctions he brews. While some creators of alchemical items content themselves with sedentary lives as merchants, providing tindertwigs and smokesticks, the true alchemist answers a deeper calling. Rather than cast magic like a spellcaster, the alchemist captures his own magic potential within liquids and extracts he creates, infusing his chemicals with virulent power to grant him impressive skill with poisons, explosives, and all manner of self-transformative magic.
The key ability of the Alchemist is Intelligence.

Alchemy: Alchemists are not only masters of creating mundane alchemical substances such as alchemist's fire and smokesticks, but also of fashioning magical potion-like extracts in which they can store spell effects. In effect, an alchemist prepares his spells by mixing ingredients into a number of extracts, and then “casts” his spells by drinking the extract. When an alchemist creates an extract or bomb, he infuses the concoction with a tiny fraction of his own magical power—this enables the creation of powerful effects, but also binds the effects to the creator.
An alchemist gains a bonus to the Craft Alchemy skill equal to his class level.
An alchemist can create three special types of magical items — extracts, bombs, and mutagens. Bombs are explosive splash weapons, and mutagens are transformative elixirs that the alchemist drinks to enhance his physical abilities—both of these are detailed in their own sections below.
Extracts are the most varied of the three. In many ways, they behave like spells in potion form, and as such their effects can be dispelled by effects like dispel magic using the alchemist's level as the caster level. Unlike potions, though, extracts can have powerful effects and duplicate spells that a potion normally could not.
An alchemist can create only a certain number of extracts of each level per day. His base daily allotment of extracts is given in the extracts section. In addition, he receives bonus extracts per day if he has a high Intelligence score, in the same way a wizard receives bonus spells per day. You must have an Intelligence score of 10 + the extract level to use an extract.
Bomb: In addition to magical extracts, alchemists are adept at swiftly mixing various volatile chemicals and infusing them with their magical reserves to create powerful bombs that they can hurl at their enemies. Thrown bombs have a range of 20 feet and require a ranged touch attack to hit. Bombs are affected by weapon feats that affect ranged touch attacks (point blank shot, weapon focus - ranged touch attack, etc).
On a direct hit, an alchemist's bomb inflicts 1d6 points of fire damage + additional damage equal to the alchemist's Intelligence modifier. The damage of an alchemist's bomb increases by 1d6 points at every odd-numbered alchemist level. Splash damage from an alchemist bomb is always equal to the bomb's minimum damage (so if the bomb would deal 2d6+4 points of fire damage on a direct hit, its splash damage would be 6 points of fire damage) and affects those within 5'. Those caught in the splash damage can attempt a Reflex save for half damage. The DC of this save is equal to 10 + 1/2 the alchemist's level + the alchemist's Intelligence modifier.
Alchemists can learn new types of bombs as discoveries (see the Discovery ability) as they level up.
Mutagen: At 1st level, an alchemist discovers how to create a mutagen that he can imbibe in order to heighten his physical prowess at the cost of his personality. Only one mutagen can be active at a time and this ability has a 2 minute cooldown.
When an alchemist brews a mutagen, he selects one physical ability score—either Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. It's a standard action to drink a mutagen. Upon being imbibed, the mutagen causes the alchemist to grow bulkier and more bestial, granting him a +2 natural armor bonus and a +4 alchemical bonus to the selected ability score for 10 minutes per alchemist level.
In addition, while the mutagen is in effect, the alchemist takes a –2 penalty to one of his mental ability scores. If the mutagen enhances his Strength, it applies a penalty to his Intelligence. If it enhances his Dexterity, it applies a penalty to his Wisdom. If it enhances his Constitution, it applies a penalty to his Charisma.
***
Discovery: At 2nd level, and then again every 2 levels thereafter, an alchemist makes an incredible alchemical discovery. Unless otherwise noted, an alchemist cannot select an individual discovery more than once. Some discoveries can only be made if the alchemist has met certain prerequisites first, such as uncovering other discoveries. Discoveries that modify bombs that are marked with an asterisk (*) do not stack. Only one such discovery can be applied to an individual bomb. The DC of any saving throw called for by a discovery is equal to 10 + 1/2 the alchemist's level + the alchemist's Intelligence modifier.
Acid bomb*: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it inflict acid damage. Creatures that take a direct hit from an acid bomb take an additional 1d6 points of acid damage 1 round later.
Additional Extra Extract (Level 1 through Level 6) - You gain one additional uses of the selected extra level. This feat can be taken twice for each extract level.
Alchemical Zombie: The alchemist gains the ability to animate a relatively complete corpse as an alchemy-powered zombie. Zombies that are created in this manner count as undead created by animate dead. An alchemist must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.
Blinding Bomb*: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose for it to detonate very brightly. Creatures that take a direct hit from a blinding bomb are blinded for 1 minute unless they succeed at a Fortitude save. Creatures in the splash area that fail their saves against the bomb are dazzled for 1 minute. This is a light effect. An alchemist must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.
Cognatogen: The alchemist gains the ability to create a cognatogen, a mutagen-like mixture that heightens one mental ability score at the expense of a physical ability score. If the cognatogen enhances his Intelligence, it applies a penalty to his Strength. If it enhances his Wisdom, it applies a penalty to his Dexterity. If it enhances his Charisma, it applies a penalty to his Constitution. Otherwise, this ability works just like the mutagen ability (including the natural armor bonus). Anytime the alchemist would prepare a mutagen, he may instead prepare a cognatogen. All limitations of mutagens apply to cognatogens as if they were the same substance—an alchemist can only maintain one mutagen or cognatogen at a time.
Concussive bomb*: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it inflict sonic damage. Concussive bombs deal 1d4 points of sonic damage, plus 1d4 points of sonic damage for every odd-numbered level, instead of 1d6. Creatures that take a direct hit from a concussive bomb are deafened for 1 minute unless they succeed at a Fortitude save. An alchemist must be at least 6th level before selecting this discovery.
Confusion Bomb*: The alchemist's bombs twist the target's perception of friend and foe. A creature that takes a direct hit from a confusion bomb takes damage from the bomb and is under the effect of a confusion spell for 1 round per caster level of the alchemist. Reduce the amount of normal damage dealt by the bomb by 2d6 (so a bomb that would normally deal 6d6+4 points of damage deals 4d6+4 points of damage instead). An alchemist must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.
Delayed bomb: The alchemist can place a bomb so that it explodes five rounds after the alchemist ceases contact with the bomb. A delayed bomb detonates immediately if any other creature moves near it. The bomb deals damage as if it scored a direct hit to any creature in the square with the bomb when it detonates, and splash damage to all adjacent creatures as normal. An alchemist must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.
Dilution: Once per day, the alchemist can dilute any one potion or elixir, creating two doses of the same potion from one. Diluting a potion costs a number of gp equal to one-quarter of the potion's market value. A potion that has been diluted cannot be diluted again. An alchemist must be at least 12th level before selecting this discovery.
Dispelling Bomb: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it dispel magic effects instead of deal damage. Creatures that take a direct hit from a dispelling bomb are subject to a targeted dispel magic spell, using the alchemist's level as the caster level (maximum +25). The alchemist must be at least 6th level before selecting this discovery.
Elixir of life: Once per day, an alchemist can brew an elixir of life. An elixir of life, when administered by the alchemist who brewed it, restores life to a dead creature as per the spell true resurrection. Alternatively, the alchemist himself may drink the elixir of life, after which point he is immediately targeted with a resurrection spell the next time he is killed. An alchemist must be at least 16th level before selecting this discovery.
Epic Purify Essence: The alchemist greatly improves and purifies the mixtures he uses for bombs. Your bombs will not deal less than 4 damage per die. An alchemist must be at least 21st level before selecting this discovery. Epic Purify Essence with 16d6 bomb dice will essentially become 16d3 + 48.
Epic Elixir of Life: Twice per day, an alchemist can brew a greater elixir of life. A greater elixir of life, when administered by the alchemist who brewed it, restores life to any allied dead creatures within 50' as per the spell true resurrection. Alternatively, the alchemist himself may drink the greater elixir of life, after which point he is immediately targeted with a resurrection spell the next time he is killed. An alchemist must be at least 21st level before selecting this discovery.
Epic Transmutation Bomb: Once per day, an alchemist can throw a bomb designed to transmute all creatures within 20' of the impact area into chickens. Targets are allowed a Fortitude save (DC +5) to negate the effects of the spell. An alchemist must be at least 21st level before selecting this discovery.
Epic Hellball Bomb: Twice per day, an alchemist can throw a bomb that unleashes a massive blast of energy which detonates upon all in the AoE, dealing 6d6 fire, 6d6 acid, 6d6 electrical and 6d6 sonic damage. The Hellball bomb ignores Evasion and Improved Evasion. An alchemist must be at least 21st level before selecting this discovery.
Explosive bomb*: The alchemist's bombs now have a splash radius of 10 feet rather than 5 feet. Creatures that take a direct hit from an explosive bomb catch fire, taking 1d6 points of fire damage for five rounds.
[color=#ff0000]Fast bombs: An alchemist with this discovery can quickly create enough bombs to throw two in a single round. An alchemist must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery. This second bomb is thrown with a -5 AB penalty. If the first bomb does not deal damage, the second bomb thrown will be a normal one. This affects the following bombs: [add list]. Fast bombs will not work if you have HIPS.
[/color]
Fast Healing: The alchemist's flesh responds to damage with shocking speed — he gains fast healing 5. An alchemist must be at least 21st level before selecting this discovery. This discovery replaces the bonus from Lesser Fast Healing.
Feral Mutagen: The alchemist can brew a mutagen that grant's him evasion.
Force bomb*: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it inflict force damage. Force bombs deal 1d4 points of magic damage, plus 1d4 points of magic damage for every odd-numbered level, instead of 1d6. Creatures that take a direct hit from a force bomb are knocked prone unless they succeed on a Reflex save. An alchemist must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.
Frost bomb*: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it inflict cold damage. Creatures that take a direct hit from a frost bomb are staggered on their next turn unless they succeed on a Fortitude save.
Great Dexterity: The alchemist can use a discovery to brew a potion which grants a bonus Great Dexterity feat. An alchemist must be at least 21st level before selecting this discovery.
Great Intelligence: The alchemist can use a discovery to brew a potion which grants a bonus Great Intelligence feat. An alchemist must be at least 21st level before selecting this discovery.
Grand Cognatogen: The alchemist's cognatogen now grants a +6 natural armor bonus, a +8 alchemical bonus to one mental ability score (Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma), a +6 alchemical bonus to a second mental ability score, and a +4 alchemical bonus to a third mental ability score. The alchemist takes a –2 penalty to his Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution as long as the cognatogen persists. An alchemist must be at least 16th level and must have the greater cognatogen discovery or class ability before selecting this discovery.
Grand mutagen: The alchemist's mutagen now grants a +6 natural armor bonus, a +8 alchemical bonus to one ability score (Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution), a +6 alchemical bonus to a second physical ability score, and a +4 alchemical bonus to a third physical ability score. The alchemist takes a –2 penalty to his Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma as long as the mutagen persists (see Mutagen). An alchemist must be at least 16th level and must possess the greater mutagen discovery before selecting this discovery.
Greater Cognatogen: The alchemist's mutagen now grants a +4 natural armor bonus, a +6 alchemical bonus to one mental ability score (Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma), and a +4 alchemical bonus to a second mental ability score. The alchemist takes a –2 penalty on both associated physical ability scores as long as the mutagen persists, and takes 2 points of ability damage to both associated physical ability scores when the cognatogen ends. An alchemist must be at least 12th level and must have the cognatogen discovery before selecting this discovery.
Greater mutagen: The alchemist's mutagen now grants a +4 natural armor bonus, a +6 alchemical bonus to one physical ability score (Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution), and a +4 alchemical bonus to a second physical ability score. The alchemist takes a –2 penalty on both associated mental ability scores as long as the mutagen persists. An alchemist must be at least 12th level before selecting this discovery.
Healing Touch: The alchemist gains the ability to heal other creatures. The alchemist may touch a creature and apply the effect of his spontaneous healing discovery to that creature. The alchemist gains two more uses of spontaneous healing with this discovery. An alchemist must be at least 6th level and must have the spontaneous healing discovery before selecting this discovery.
Immolation Bomb*: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have its substance coat the direct target's body, causing the bomb to deal its damage over time instead of all at once. The bomb's effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to the number of damage dice the bomb would normally deal (for instance, a 5d6 bomb lasts for 5 rounds). When the bomb hits the direct target, the bomb deals 1d6 + the alchemist's Intelligence modifier in damage, and those within the splash zone take damage equal to 1 + the alchemist's Intelligence modifier. It repeats this damage against the direct target of the bomb each round the immolation bomb lasts, dealing the damage at the start of the alchemist's turn. Splash damage is dealt again to any creature that is adjacent to the direct target when it takes damage from the immolation bomb. An alchemist must be at least 3rd level before selecting this discovery.
Improved bomb damage: The base damage of your bombs is increased by 1d6. (may only be taken once)
Improved Purify Essence: The alchemist further improves and purifies the mixtures he uses for bombs. Your bombs will not deal less than 3 damage per die. An alchemist must be at least 5th level before selecting this discovery.
Inferno bomb*: The effects of the smoke created by an alchemist's bomb duplicate the effects of incendiary cloud instead of fog cloud, filling an area equal to twice the bomb's splash radius for 1 round per level. An alchemist must be at least 16th level and must possess the smoke bomb discovery before selecting this discovery.
Lesser Fast Healing: The alchemist's flesh responds to damage with shocking speed — he gains fast healing 2. An alchemist must be at least 11th level before selecting this discovery.
Madness bomb: The alchemist's bombs do more than sear flesh—they sear the mind. A creature that takes a direct hit from a madness bomb takes damage from the bomb plus 1d4 points of Wisdom damage. Reduce the amount of normal damage dealt by the bomb by 2d6 (so a bomb that would normally deal 6d6+4 points of damage deals 4d6+4 points of damage instead). An alchemist must be at least 12th level before selecting this discovery. This is an activated mode that affects all bombs thrown by the alchemist.
Night Vision: The alchemist can brew a mutagen that grants the alchemist low-light vision and darkvision.
Poison bomb*: The effects of the smoke created by an alchemist's bomb duplicates the effects of cloudkill instead of fog cloud, filling an area equal to twice the bomb's splash radius for 1 round per level. An alchemist must be at least 12th level and must possess the smoke bomb discovery before selecting this discovery.
Poison Touch: The alchemist gains a poisonous touch, as if under the effects of a poison spell, which enables him to make a melee touch attack to deliver the poison. An alchemist must be at least 21st level before selecting this discovery.
Precise bombs: Whenever the alchemist throws a bomb, he no longer affects allies with splash damage.
Purified Essence: The alchemist improves and purifies the mixtures he uses for bombs. Your bombs will not deal less than 2 damage per die.
Shadow Bomb*: When you throw a bomb and hit a direct target, a shadowy substance is released from the bomb covering the direct target and up to three creatures that take damage from the bomb's splash. The affected creatures must successfully make a Fortitude saving throw, or they gain concealment but treat all other creatures as having concealment (20% miss chance) for one round per level. This effect is subject to spell resistance.
Shock bomb*: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it inflict electricity damage. Creatures that take a direct hit from a shock bomb are dazzled for 1d4 rounds.
Smoke bomb*: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it create a cloud of thick smoke when it detonates. The cloud functions as fog cloud, filling an area equal to twice the bomb's splash radius for 1 round per level.
Spontaneous Healing: The alchemist gains the ability to heal from wounds rapidly. He can heal 5 hit points in this manner for every 2 alchemist levels he possesses twice per day.
Sticky bomb: The effects of the alchemist's bombs are persistent and continue to damage creatures for 1 round after the initial damage. Creatures that take a direct hit from a sticky bomb take the splash damage 1 round later. An alchemist must be at least 10th level before selecting this discovery.
Sticky poison: Any poison the alchemist creates and uses is sticky—when the alchemist applies it to a weapon, the weapon remains poisoned for a number of rounds equal to 3 + the alchemist's Intelligence modifier. An alchemist must be at least 6th level before selecting this discovery.
Stink bomb*: The effects of the smoke created by an alchemist's bomb can duplicate the effects of stinking cloud instead of fog cloud, filling an area equal to twice the bomb's splash radius for 1 round. An alchemist must possess the smoke bomb discovery before selecting this discovery.
Strafe Bomb: The alchemist can throw bombs that splash in a 40-foot line rather than affecting a radius. The line starts at the alchemist and extends away from him in the direction he chooses. The alchemist designates one creature in the squares affected by the line to be the target of the bomb and makes his attack roll against that creature; all other squares in the line take splash damage. If the alchemist has the explosive bomb discovery and throws an explosive strafe bomb, the line of splash damage is 80 feet long instead of 40 feet.
Sunlight Bomb*: The alchemist can throw bombs that explode with a searing radiance equivalent to that of sunlight and that act as blinding bombs. Undead, fungi, molds, oozes, slimes, and creatures to which sunlight is harmful or unnatural take +2 damage per die from the bomb. Undead that are harmed by sunlight and that fail their saves against the bomb are staggered for 1 round. An alchemist must be at least 10th level and must have the blinding bomb discovery before he can select this discovery.
Tanglefoot Bomb*: A creature that takes a direct hit from a tanglefoot bomb must save against the bomb's DC or be entangled and glued to the floor as if it had failed its save against a tanglefoot bag. Creatures in the splash area that fail their saves are entangled but not glued to the floor; those who make this save are not entangled at all.
True Cognatogen: The alchemist's cognatogen now grants a +8 natural armor bonus and a +8 alchemical bonus to Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. The alchemist takes a –2 penalty to his Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution as long as the cognatogen persists (see Mutagen). An alchemist must possess the grand cognatogen discovery before selecting this discovery. An alchemist must be at least 21st level before selecting this discovery.
True Feral Mutagen: The alchemist can brew a mutagen that grant's him improved evasion. An alchemist must be at least 21st level before selecting this discovery.
True Mutagen: The alchemist's mutagen now grants a +8 natural armor bonus and a +8 alchemical bonus to Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution. The alchemist takes a –2 penalty to his Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma as long as the mutagen persists (see Mutagen). An alchemist must possess the grand mutagen discovery before selecting this discovery. An alchemist must be at least 21st level before selecting this discovery.
Volatile Bombs: The alchemist can brew bombs that are exceptionally volatile and which will explode with a larger radius. The splash radius is increased by 10'
***

[/spoiler]
I knew I shouldn't have gone to the d20PFSRD to see the extra stuff for Alchemist...
[spoiler]
Boneshard Bomb* - The alchemist's bomb deals piercing damage instead of fire damage, and creatures that take a direct hit from a boneshard bomb must succeed at a Fortitude save or take 1d4 points of bleed damage in addition to normal damage. If a creature is killed by a boneshard bomb or the resulting bleed effect, its corpse immediately reanimates as an undead creature with the skeleton template. The Alchemist must possess the alchemical zombie discovery to learn this ability.
Chameleon - An alchemist with this discovery can shift the colors of his skin and equipment to blend in with the surrounding terrain. He gains a +4 An alchemist with this discovery can shift the colors of his skin and equipment to blend in with the surrounding terrain. He gains a +4 enhancement bonus on Stealth checks. At 10th level, the bonus on Stealth checks increases to +8.bonus on Stealth checks. At 10th level, the bonus on Stealth checks increases to +8.
Directed Bomb - The alchemist can cause his bombs to splash in a 15-foot cone instead of a 5-foot-radius burst. The alchemist chooses the direction of the cone.
Elemental Mutagen - The alchemist chooses an element (air, earth, fire, or water). Whenever the alchemist imbibes a mutagen or cognatagen, he gains resistance 5 to the associated energy type. This resistance increases by 5 for each of the following discoveries the alchemist possesses: grand cognatagen, grand mutagen, greater cognatagen, greater mutagen, true cognatagen, and true mutagen (maximum resistance of 20). An alchemist can select this discovery up to four times, but must choose a different element each time.
Grease Bomb* - When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it create a grease slick upon detonation. When a grease bomb detonates, it coats an area equal to the bomb's splash radius in grease (as the grease spell) for 1 round per level. The DC of the Reflex save to avoid falling is equal to 10 + 1/2 the alchemist's level + the alchemist's Intelligence modifier. An alchemist must be at least 6th level before selecting this discovery.
Madness Bomb* - The alchemist’s bombs do more than sear flesh—they sear the mind. A creature that takes a direct hit from a madness bomb takes damage from the bomb plus 1d4 points of Wisdom damage. Reduce the amount of normal damage dealt by the bomb by 2d6 (so a bomb that would normally deal 6d6+4 points of damage deals 4d6+4 points of damage instead). An alchemist must be at least 12th level before selecting this discovery.
Razor Bomb* - When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it explode into shards of shrapnel that deal slashing damage.
Shrapnel Bomb* - When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it explode into shards of shrapnel that deal piercing damage.
Possibly Holy Bombs but divine damage bombs doesn't seem a great idea.

Using bombs will likely be restricted to light armor. Bombs will probably have a rather hefty penalty (on the order of the -8 Sacred Fist penalty) when using medium/heavy armor or a shield. Fast bombs won't work at all in medium/heavy armor or when using a shield and probably wont be in the first release, if ever.
Accurate Finesse is like Intuitive Strikes. If your Int is higher than your Dex, you get the extra bonus (up to +4). So Dex mod +4.
[spoiler="Alchemist"]Alchemist
Whether secreted away in a smoky basement laboratory or gleefully experimenting in a well-respected school of magic, the alchemist is often regarded as being just as unstable, unpredictable, and dangerous as the concoctions he brews. While some creators of alchemical items content themselves with sedentary lives as merchants, providing tindertwigs and smokesticks, the true alchemist answers a deeper calling. Rather than cast magic like a spellcaster, the alchemist captures his own magic potential within liquids and extracts he creates, infusing his chemicals with virulent power to grant him impressive skill with poisons, explosives, and all manner of self-transformative magic.
The key ability of the Alchemist is Intelligence.

Alchemy: Alchemists are not only masters of creating mundane alchemical substances such as alchemist's fire and smokesticks, but also of fashioning magical potion-like extracts in which they can store spell effects. In effect, an alchemist prepares his spells by mixing ingredients into a number of extracts, and then “casts” his spells by drinking the extract. When an alchemist creates an extract or bomb, he infuses the concoction with a tiny fraction of his own magical power—this enables the creation of powerful effects, but also binds the effects to the creator.
An alchemist gains a bonus to the Craft Alchemy skill equal to his class level.
An alchemist can create three special types of magical items — extracts, bombs, and mutagens. Bombs are explosive splash weapons, and mutagens are transformative elixirs that the alchemist drinks to enhance his physical abilities—both of these are detailed in their own sections below.
Extracts are the most varied of the three. In many ways, they behave like spells in potion form, and as such their effects can be dispelled by effects like dispel magic using the alchemist's level as the caster level. Unlike potions, though, extracts can have powerful effects and duplicate spells that a potion normally could not.
An alchemist can create only a certain number of extracts of each level per day. His base daily allotment of extracts is given in the extracts section. In addition, he receives bonus extracts per day if he has a high Intelligence score, in the same way a wizard receives bonus spells per day. You must have an Intelligence score of 10 + the extract level to use an extract.
Bomb: In addition to magical extracts, alchemists are adept at swiftly mixing various volatile chemicals and infusing them with their magical reserves to create powerful bombs that they can hurl at their enemies. Thrown bombs have a range of 20 feet and require a ranged touch attack to hit. Bombs are affected by weapon feats that affect ranged touch attacks (point blank shot, weapon focus - ranged touch attack, etc).
On a direct hit, an alchemist's bomb inflicts 1d6 points of fire damage + additional damage equal to the alchemist's Intelligence modifier. The damage of an alchemist's bomb increases by 1d6 points at every odd-numbered alchemist level. Splash damage from an alchemist bomb is always equal to the bomb's minimum damage (so if the bomb would deal 2d6+4 points of fire damage on a direct hit, its splash damage would be 6 points of fire damage) and affects those within 5'. Those caught in the splash damage can attempt a Reflex save for half damage. The DC of this save is equal to 10 + 1/2 the alchemist's level + the alchemist's Intelligence modifier.
Alchemists can learn new types of bombs as discoveries (see the Discovery ability) as they level up.
Mutagen: At 1st level, an alchemist discovers how to create a mutagen that he can imbibe in order to heighten his physical prowess at the cost of his personality. Only one mutagen can be active at a time and this ability has a 2 minute cooldown.
When an alchemist brews a mutagen, he selects one physical ability score—either Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. It's a standard action to drink a mutagen. Upon being imbibed, the mutagen causes the alchemist to grow bulkier and more bestial, granting him a +2 natural armor bonus and a +4 alchemical bonus to the selected ability score for 10 minutes per alchemist level.
In addition, while the mutagen is in effect, the alchemist takes a –2 penalty to one of his mental ability scores. If the mutagen enhances his Strength, it applies a penalty to his Intelligence. If it enhances his Dexterity, it applies a penalty to his Wisdom. If it enhances his Constitution, it applies a penalty to his Charisma.
***
Discovery: At 2nd level, and then again every 2 levels thereafter, an alchemist makes an incredible alchemical discovery. Unless otherwise noted, an alchemist cannot select an individual discovery more than once. Some discoveries can only be made if the alchemist has met certain prerequisites first, such as uncovering other discoveries. Discoveries that modify bombs that are marked with an asterisk (*) do not stack. Only one such discovery can be applied to an individual bomb. The DC of any saving throw called for by a discovery is equal to 10 + 1/2 the alchemist's level + the alchemist's Intelligence modifier.
Acid bomb*: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it inflict acid damage. Creatures that take a direct hit from an acid bomb take an additional 1d6 points of acid damage 1 round later.
Additional Extra Extract (Level 1 through Level 6) - You gain one additional uses of the selected extra level. This feat can be taken twice for each extract level.
Alchemical Zombie: The alchemist gains the ability to animate a relatively complete corpse as an alchemy-powered zombie. Zombies that are created in this manner count as undead created by animate dead. An alchemist must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.
Blinding Bomb*: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose for it to detonate very brightly. Creatures that take a direct hit from a blinding bomb are blinded for 1 minute unless they succeed at a Fortitude save. Creatures in the splash area that fail their saves against the bomb are dazzled for 1 minute. This is a light effect. An alchemist must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.
Cognatogen: The alchemist gains the ability to create a cognatogen, a mutagen-like mixture that heightens one mental ability score at the expense of a physical ability score. If the cognatogen enhances his Intelligence, it applies a penalty to his Strength. If it enhances his Wisdom, it applies a penalty to his Dexterity. If it enhances his Charisma, it applies a penalty to his Constitution. Otherwise, this ability works just like the mutagen ability (including the natural armor bonus). Anytime the alchemist would prepare a mutagen, he may instead prepare a cognatogen. All limitations of mutagens apply to cognatogens as if they were the same substance—an alchemist can only maintain one mutagen or cognatogen at a time.
Concussive bomb*: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it inflict sonic damage. Concussive bombs deal 1d4 points of sonic damage, plus 1d4 points of sonic damage for every odd-numbered level, instead of 1d6. Creatures that take a direct hit from a concussive bomb are deafened for 1 minute unless they succeed at a Fortitude save. An alchemist must be at least 6th level before selecting this discovery.
Confusion Bomb*: The alchemist's bombs twist the target's perception of friend and foe. A creature that takes a direct hit from a confusion bomb takes damage from the bomb and is under the effect of a confusion spell for 1 round per caster level of the alchemist. Reduce the amount of normal damage dealt by the bomb by 2d6 (so a bomb that would normally deal 6d6+4 points of damage deals 4d6+4 points of damage instead). An alchemist must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.
Delayed bomb: The alchemist can place a bomb so that it explodes five rounds after the alchemist ceases contact with the bomb. A delayed bomb detonates immediately if any other creature moves near it. The bomb deals damage as if it scored a direct hit to any creature in the square with the bomb when it detonates, and splash damage to all adjacent creatures as normal. An alchemist must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.
Dilution: Once per day, the alchemist can dilute any one potion or elixir, creating two doses of the same potion from one. Diluting a potion costs a number of gp equal to one-quarter of the potion's market value. A potion that has been diluted cannot be diluted again. An alchemist must be at least 12th level before selecting this discovery.
Dispelling Bomb: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it dispel magic effects instead of deal damage. Creatures that take a direct hit from a dispelling bomb are subject to a targeted dispel magic spell, using the alchemist's level as the caster level (maximum +25). The alchemist must be at least 6th level before selecting this discovery.
Elixir of life: Once per day, an alchemist can brew an elixir of life. An elixir of life, when administered by the alchemist who brewed it, restores life to a dead creature as per the spell true resurrection. Alternatively, the alchemist himself may drink the elixir of life, after which point he is immediately targeted with a resurrection spell the next time he is killed. An alchemist must be at least 16th level before selecting this discovery.
Epic Purify Essence: The alchemist greatly improves and purifies the mixtures he uses for bombs. Your bombs will not deal less than 4 damage per die. An alchemist must be at least 21st level before selecting this discovery. Epic Purify Essence with 16d6 bomb dice will essentially become 16d3 + 48.
Epic Elixir of Life: Twice per day, an alchemist can brew a greater elixir of life. A greater elixir of life, when administered by the alchemist who brewed it, restores life to any allied dead creatures within 50' as per the spell true resurrection. Alternatively, the alchemist himself may drink the greater elixir of life, after which point he is immediately targeted with a resurrection spell the next time he is killed. An alchemist must be at least 21st level before selecting this discovery.
Epic Transmutation Bomb: Once per day, an alchemist can throw a bomb designed to transmute all creatures within 20' of the impact area into chickens. Targets are allowed a Fortitude save (DC +5) to negate the effects of the spell. An alchemist must be at least 21st level before selecting this discovery.
Epic Hellball Bomb: Twice per day, an alchemist can throw a bomb that unleashes a massive blast of energy which detonates upon all in the AoE, dealing 6d6 fire, 6d6 acid, 6d6 electrical and 6d6 sonic damage. The Hellball bomb ignores Evasion and Improved Evasion. An alchemist must be at least 21st level before selecting this discovery.
Explosive bomb*: The alchemist's bombs now have a splash radius of 10 feet rather than 5 feet. Creatures that take a direct hit from an explosive bomb catch fire, taking 1d6 points of fire damage for five rounds.
[color=#ff0000]Fast bombs: An alchemist with this discovery can quickly create enough bombs to throw two in a single round. An alchemist must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery. This second bomb is thrown with a -5 AB penalty. If the first bomb does not deal damage, the second bomb thrown will be a normal one. This affects the following bombs: [add list]. Fast bombs will not work if you have HIPS.
[/color]
Fast Healing: The alchemist's flesh responds to damage with shocking speed — he gains fast healing 5. An alchemist must be at least 21st level before selecting this discovery. This discovery replaces the bonus from Lesser Fast Healing.
Feral Mutagen: The alchemist can brew a mutagen that grant's him evasion.
Force bomb*: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it inflict force damage. Force bombs deal 1d4 points of magic damage, plus 1d4 points of magic damage for every odd-numbered level, instead of 1d6. Creatures that take a direct hit from a force bomb are knocked prone unless they succeed on a Reflex save. An alchemist must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.
Frost bomb*: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it inflict cold damage. Creatures that take a direct hit from a frost bomb are staggered on their next turn unless they succeed on a Fortitude save.
Great Dexterity: The alchemist can use a discovery to brew a potion which grants a bonus Great Dexterity feat. An alchemist must be at least 21st level before selecting this discovery.
Great Intelligence: The alchemist can use a discovery to brew a potion which grants a bonus Great Intelligence feat. An alchemist must be at least 21st level before selecting this discovery.

The alchemist takes a –2 penalty to his Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution as long as the cognatogen persists. An alchemist must be at least 16th level and must have the greater cognatogen discovery or class ability before selecting this discovery.
Grand mutagen: The alchemist's mutagen now grants a +6 natural armor bonus, a +8 alchemical bonus to one ability score (Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution), a +6 alchemical bonus to a second physical ability score, and a +4 alchemical bonus to a third physical ability score. The alchemist takes a –2 penalty to his Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma as long as the mutagen persists (see Mutagen).

Greater Cognatogen: The alchemist's mutagen now grants a +4 natural armor bonus, a +6 alchemical bonus to one mental ability score (Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma), and a +4 alchemical bonus to a second mental ability score. The alchemist takes a –2 penalty on both associated physical ability scores as long as the mutagen persists, and takes 2 points of ability damage to both associated physical ability scores when the cognatogen ends. An alchemist must be at least 12th level and must have the cognatogen discovery before selecting this discovery.
Greater mutagen: The alchemist's mutagen now grants a +4 natural armor bonus, a +6 alchemical bonus to one physical ability score (Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution), and a +4 alchemical bonus to a second physical ability score. The alchemist takes a –2 penalty on both associated mental ability scores as long as the mutagen persists. An alchemist must be at least 12th level before selecting this discovery.
Healing Touch: The alchemist gains the ability to heal other creatures. The alchemist may touch a creature and apply the effect of his spontaneous healing discovery to that creature. The alchemist gains two more uses of spontaneous healing with this discovery. An alchemist must be at least 6th level and must have the spontaneous healing discovery before selecting this discovery.
Immolation Bomb*: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have its substance coat the direct target's body, causing the bomb to deal its damage over time instead of all at once. The bomb's effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to the number of damage dice the bomb would normally deal (for instance, a 5d6 bomb lasts for 5 rounds). When the bomb hits the direct target, the bomb deals 1d6 + the alchemist's Intelligence modifier in damage, and those within the splash zone take damage equal to 1 + the alchemist's Intelligence modifier. It repeats this damage against the direct target of the bomb each round the immolation bomb lasts, dealing the damage at the start of the alchemist's turn. Splash damage is dealt again to any creature that is adjacent to the direct target when it takes damage from the immolation bomb. An alchemist must be at least 3rd level before selecting this discovery.
Improved bomb damage: The base damage of your bombs is increased by 1d6. (may only be taken once)
Improved Purify Essence: The alchemist further improves and purifies the mixtures he uses for bombs. Your bombs will not deal less than 3 damage per die. An alchemist must be at least 5th level before selecting this discovery.

An alchemist must be at least 16th level and must possess the smoke bomb discovery before selecting this discovery.
Lesser Fast Healing: The alchemist's flesh responds to damage with shocking speed — he gains fast healing 2. An alchemist must be at least 11th level before selecting this discovery.
Madness bomb: The alchemist's bombs do more than sear flesh—they sear the mind. A creature that takes a direct hit from a madness bomb takes damage from the bomb plus 1d4 points of Wisdom damage. Reduce the amount of normal damage dealt by the bomb by 2d6 (so a bomb that would normally deal 6d6+4 points of damage deals 4d6+4 points of damage instead). An alchemist must be at least 12th level before selecting this discovery. This is an activated mode that affects all bombs thrown by the alchemist.
Night Vision: The alchemist can brew a mutagen that grants the alchemist low-light vision and darkvision.
Poison bomb*: The effects of the smoke created by an alchemist's bomb duplicates the effects of cloudkill instead of fog cloud, filling an area equal to twice the bomb's splash radius for 1 round per level. An alchemist must be at least 12th level and must possess the smoke bomb discovery before selecting this discovery.

Purified Essence: The alchemist improves and purifies the mixtures he uses for bombs. Your bombs will not deal less than 2 damage per die.
Shadow Bomb*: When you throw a bomb and hit a direct target, a shadowy substance is released from the bomb covering the direct target and up to three creatures that take damage from the bomb's splash. The affected creatures must successfully make a Fortitude saving throw, or they gain concealment but treat all other creatures as having concealment (20% miss chance) for one round per level. This effect is subject to spell resistance.
Shock bomb*: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it inflict electricity damage. Creatures that take a direct hit from a shock bomb are dazzled for 1d4 rounds.
Smoke bomb*: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it create a cloud of thick smoke when it detonates. The cloud functions as fog cloud, filling an area equal to twice the bomb's splash radius for 1 round per level.
Spontaneous Healing: The alchemist gains the ability to heal from wounds rapidly. He can heal 5 hit points in this manner for every 2 alchemist levels he possesses twice per day.
Sticky bomb: The effects of the alchemist's bombs are persistent and continue to damage creatures for 1 round after the initial damage. Creatures that take a direct hit from a sticky bomb take the splash damage 1 round later. An alchemist must be at least 10th level before selecting this discovery.
Sticky poison: Any poison the alchemist creates and uses is sticky—when the alchemist applies it to a weapon, the weapon remains poisoned for a number of rounds equal to 3 + the alchemist's Intelligence modifier. An alchemist must be at least 6th level before selecting this discovery.
Stink bomb*: The effects of the smoke created by an alchemist's bomb can duplicate the effects of stinking cloud instead of fog cloud, filling an area equal to twice the bomb's splash radius for 1 round. An alchemist must possess the smoke bomb discovery before selecting this discovery.
Strafe Bomb: The alchemist can throw bombs that splash in a 40-foot line rather than affecting a radius. The line starts at the alchemist and extends away from him in the direction he chooses. The alchemist designates one creature in the squares affected by the line to be the target of the bomb and makes his attack roll against that creature; all other squares in the line take splash damage. If the alchemist has the explosive bomb discovery and throws an explosive strafe bomb, the line of splash damage is 80 feet long instead of 40 feet.
Sunlight Bomb*: The alchemist can throw bombs that explode with a searing radiance equivalent to that of sunlight and that act as blinding bombs. Undead, fungi, molds, oozes, slimes, and creatures to which sunlight is harmful or unnatural take +2 damage per die from the bomb. Undead that are harmed by sunlight and that fail their saves against the bomb are staggered for 1 round. An alchemist must be at least 10th level and must have the blinding bomb discovery before he can select this discovery.
Tanglefoot Bomb*: A creature that takes a direct hit from a tanglefoot bomb must save against the bomb's DC or be entangled and glued to the floor as if it had failed its save against a tanglefoot bag. Creatures in the splash area that fail their saves are entangled but not glued to the floor; those who make this save are not entangled at all.
True Cognatogen: The alchemist's cognatogen now grants a +8 natural armor bonus and a +8 alchemical bonus to Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. The alchemist takes a –2 penalty to his Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution as long as the cognatogen persists (see Mutagen).

I knew I shouldn't have gone to the d20PFSRD to see the extra stuff for Alchemist...
[spoiler]
Boneshard Bomb* - The alchemist's bomb deals piercing damage instead of fire damage, and creatures that take a direct hit from a boneshard bomb must succeed at a Fortitude save or take 1d4 points of bleed damage in addition to normal damage. If a creature is killed by a boneshard bomb or the resulting bleed effect, its corpse immediately reanimates as an undead creature with the skeleton template. The Alchemist must possess the alchemical zombie discovery to learn this ability.
Chameleon - An alchemist with this discovery can shift the colors of his skin and equipment to blend in with the surrounding terrain. He gains a +4 An alchemist with this discovery can shift the colors of his skin and equipment to blend in with the surrounding terrain. He gains a +4 enhancement bonus on Stealth checks. At 10th level, the bonus on Stealth checks increases to +8.bonus on Stealth checks. At 10th level, the bonus on Stealth checks increases to +8.
Directed Bomb - The alchemist can cause his bombs to splash in a 15-foot cone instead of a 5-foot-radius burst. The alchemist chooses the direction of the cone.
Elemental Mutagen - The alchemist chooses an element (air, earth, fire, or water). Whenever the alchemist imbibes a mutagen or cognatagen, he gains resistance 5 to the associated energy type. This resistance increases by 5 for each of the following discoveries the alchemist possesses: grand cognatagen, grand mutagen, greater cognatagen, greater mutagen, true cognatagen, and true mutagen (maximum resistance of 20). An alchemist can select this discovery up to four times, but must choose a different element each time.
Grease Bomb* - When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it create a grease slick upon detonation. When a grease bomb detonates, it coats an area equal to the bomb's splash radius in grease (as the grease spell) for 1 round per level. The DC of the Reflex save to avoid falling is equal to 10 + 1/2 the alchemist's level + the alchemist's Intelligence modifier. An alchemist must be at least 6th level before selecting this discovery.
Madness Bomb* - The alchemist’s bombs do more than sear flesh—they sear the mind. A creature that takes a direct hit from a madness bomb takes damage from the bomb plus 1d4 points of Wisdom damage. Reduce the amount of normal damage dealt by the bomb by 2d6 (so a bomb that would normally deal 6d6+4 points of damage deals 4d6+4 points of damage instead). An alchemist must be at least 12th level before selecting this discovery.
Razor Bomb* - When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it explode into shards of shrapnel that deal slashing damage.
