Common Class Abilities


Alchemy

Characters with the Alchemy ability (such as Alchemist and Investigator) can use their class level as their base attack bonus to determine DC increases to alchemical items used as splash weapons.

Poison Use

Characters with the Poison Use ability (such as Alchemist and the Rogue talent) can use their class level as their base attack bonus to determine DC increases to injury poisons when inflicting them through their own attacks.

Key Abilities


Each class has one or more ability scores that are key to their role. When selecting your class at their 1st character level, your character gains a +2 bonus to one of that class' key ability scores of your choice. You do not gain this bonus again when multiclassing into other classes or prestige classes. Instead, you may select which key ability score from your different classes to apply your boost to if they have different key ability scores. Your class key ability score boost also changes if you retrain all levels of your chosen class into a different one.
