Starting an alchemist?

[Jesse Rink]

I'm starting an alchemist charcter and am wondering what the best starting
stats and skills would be? My main character will be a source of income, so
I'm not needing a skill to make money.

I was thinking the typical 45/10/10, but then my alchemist wont be used for
fighting, so if I drop STR down to 10, what should I then raise? Dex?

Starting skills of Poisoning and Alchemy? (49/50) ?? what's recommended...

This chracter will be used to stock a vendor.

THANKS!

15 dex - It is imo very annoying to run through someone and then to be
exhausted after three more steps..
40 str - if you want to use him to stock a vendor he should at least survive
a few seconds (to log out again) in case something unfriendly has entered
the house while you switched chars..and that way you really don't have to
worry about poisoning yourself if you should make a gravel mistake while
applying poison..

50 Alchemy..poisoning is easy to raise..
actually both is easy to raise if you have the money..
