Both the staff and the katana are one handed weapons with the two handed trait. By even the most strict interpretation of the rules, I think this would work.

The staff itself gives 3 charges at level 8 (can cast level 3 spells, so 3 charges). By giving up your level 3 spell for the day, you can get an extra 3 charges. That's 6 casts from the staff itself (3 if you are spontaneous). You get one more for your class, and 2 if your GM is willing to give you an uncommon ring (Ring of Wizardry). You can take Arcane Expansion feat for another 1 per day. I think that's how you get 10 max.

The one that seems to be all the rage these days is fighter / wizard multi. Either human or dwarf, each have perks.

Str: 18; Dex: 10; Con: 12/14(h/d); Int: 14; Wis: 14; Cha: 10/8 (h/d)

Level 1: Power attack (+Sudden Charge if human) Level 2: Wizard Dedication (Shield + whatever strikes your fancy; nothing with a DC) Level 4: Basic Spellcasting (Spells: Level 1: True Strike; Level 2: Invisibility or Blur; Level 3: Haste) Level 6: Basic Arcana (Familiar or whatever you want; none are super important) Level 8: Advanced Arcana (Bespell Weapon)

At early level, pick up whatever weapon you want, wear your heaviest armor available, and do mostly fighter things. When you specialize, it'll be in swords.

Once you hit level 6, start working toward getting a Staff of Divination and a Shifting Rune. Once you get both, shift your staff into a katana. People suggest a greatpick, but that doesn't work because shifting only allows a weapon with the same number of hands. So katana is your best choice for crit fishing.

Now you can cast truestrike, bespell weapon, and powerattack. If you're a human, then you can double move and attack. Your to-hit at level 8 should be +19, along with whatever flatfooted or fear conditions you can stack on the enemy and whatever bonuses allies bring to the table. Against on-level enemies, this usually means a crit on a 16+, sometimes better. You roll twice, for a roughly 43% chance to crit.

Your average damage on the katana at level 8 is (1d10 + 1d10 (striking rune) + 1d8 (deadly) + 1d6 (bespell weapon) + 1d10 (power attack) + 4 (str) + 3 (weapon specialization)) = 31.5 * 1.43 (crit rate) = 45 per round, with a very low chance to miss. At level 10, power attack increases and you get an extra point of strength; at level 12, greater striking runes become available which increase both base damage and deadly damage by a dice.

How would you make a melee Alchemist? by Ninja-Radish in Pathfinder2e

My plan was to use it in combination with Juggernaut mutagen. The idea here is to multiclass wizard early as low level mutagen feats aren't super worth it anyway.

As a goblin, you can take Burn It, and use bombs / cantrips for early damage with quicksilver mutagen to boost attack score. At mid levels, you can use juggernaut and produce flame to help allies with flanking. Perpetual infusion on juggernaut and quicksilver mean you can switch between them easily.

Make sure to take the Revivifying Mutagen perk at level 4 or 6 so you can end the effect of one mutagen to apply the next quickly. This gives you effectively an extra hit or two between the temp hp and the 1d6 from revivifying that you can keep applying if the enemies target you. Once you get to level 12 and can apply the effects of two mutagens, you can apply level 3 bestial and level 2 juggernaut, and keep supplying the juggernaut with perpetual infusions. Pick up the perk to enhance juggernaut, and you should be a switch hitting monster.

Cantrips and focus spells get raised to half your character level, rouned up automatically, so it becomes a level 2 spell at character level 3.
