mnemonicmonkeys comments on The sheer number of options is the best thing about Pathfinder. It's also the worst.

Eh, there's at least 1 exception: toxicologist alchemist. Especially if you're about to play Abomination vaults

Lots of creature types are immune to poison, such as undead and automatons. And there's a lot of undead in the Abomination Vaults campaign.

Plus, there's a lot of poisons that are very underwhelming. Especially ones that have an onset period; those are essentially useless in combat

Toxicology got some buffs in the remaster that let them morph poison damage to acid if its favorable, iirc
