Doll-Maker [Animators]

Obsessed with discovering the origins of life, promethean alchemists build const
ructs they gradually endow with life.
Feats
Craft Construct: At 1st level, a promethean alchemist gains the promethean disci
ple discovery (see above).
This ability replaces Brew Potion and Throw Anything.
Soul Doll Companion (Ex)
At 1st level, a promethean alchemist gains the service of a Doll companion. The
means for creating this special Soul-Doll are more exotic than normal and requir
e investiture of the promethean alchemist's own life essence into the Soul Doll.
This construct generally resembles a small humanoid or child when first created
; the specific appearance is up to its creator, though a Soul-Doll is always hum
anoid in shape and obviously unnatural on close inspection. While every Soul-Dol
l companion is absolutely devoted to its master, some Dolls' loyalty borders on
the unsettling; such companions jealously protect their masters from threats or
construct strange shrines in their masters' honor. A Soul-Doll companion can be
of any alignment, even one that is different from its master's. A destroyed Soul
-Doll companion can be restored to life by performing a ritual with its corpse t
hat requires 1 pint of its creator's blood per Hit Die of the Soul-Doll and rare
materials worth 100 gp per Hit Die of the Soul-Doll. Performing this ritual tak
es 1 hour (though it may take some time to gather enough blood at higher levels,
so many promethean alchemists keep chilled blood samples in storage just in cas
e). A promethean alchemist can't take the mutagen or cognatogen discoveries.
This ability replaces bombs and mutagen.
Discoveries
The following discoveries complement this archetype: alchemical simulacrum, dopp
elganger simulacrum, and greater alchemical simulacrum.
Soul-Doll Companion Base Statistics
A Soul-Doll companion has the following features.
Level: This is the Soul-Doll's master's alchemist level.

r of Hit Dice.
Saves: These are the base saving throw bonuses of the Soul-Doll.

l with a high Intelligence score modifies these totals as normal (the Soul-Doll

oll is so close that the alchemist's extracts function for the Soul-Doll as if i

s a humanoid or a constructwhichever is more beneficialfor the purposes of what ex
tracts can affect it. Additionally, the Soul-Doll can prepare its master's extra
cts from his formula book for him each day, as long as it's within the range of
