ERRATA:
-Medium armor proficiency was already an errata pre Remaster. (That's what I get for using a physical book!)
-I don't think you need a versatile vial remaining to make a Quick Vial.
-The bomber's "treat your versatile vial as Adamantine" ability can be used on any Consumable you make, including one of the bombs that does physical damage! (Also adamantine objects treat another "object" as having one-half its Hardness. PF2's rules on Hardness are a bit lacking, so I'd extend this to creatures as well.)
-Toxicologist's feature helps against the many creatures with poison IMMUNITY.
-Toxicologist's last feature lets them forego spraying poison on a 2nd creature.
-Additive feats are now limited to once per round.
-Combine Elixirs costs "+1 versatile vial more than usual" - since some subclasses allow you to create a Quick Vial elixir that doesn't cost a VV, the language was changed from a flat three to this.
-The alchemist versatile vials cannot be replenished, but you can still make Quick Vial acid bombs at-will.
