Vestigial Arm

Prerequisites: Alchemist 6

Benefit: At the time the alchemist chooses this discovery, he may decide whether this extra arm is present at all times, or only while under the effects of a mutagen. The alchemist gains a new arm (left or right) on his torso. The arm is fully under his control and cannot be concealed except with magic or bulky clothing. While affected by a mutagen, vestigial arms grow claws, and act as secondary natural weapons, dealing 1d4 base damage, plus half the alchemist's strength. Secondary natural attacks, as always, are made at BAB - 5. If not affected by a mutagen, the arm can manipulate or hold items as well as the alchemist’s original arms (for example, allowing the alchemist to use one hand to wield a weapon, another hand to hold a potion, and the third hand to throw a bomb). The arm has its own “hand” and “ring” magic item slots (though the alchemist can still only wear two rings and two hand magic items at a time).

Special: An alchemist may take this discovery up to two times.
