Actually, dead bodies are treated as objects, as indicated in unguent of timelesness, gentle repose and at other places.
Yes, they can be affected as objects can, so effects that specifically target creatures or which objects are immune to also don't affect dead bodies.
This means that, for example, animate objects and locate object work, enervation and enlarge/reduce person don't, disintegrate, invisibility (+permanency), shatter and shrink item do, shadow evocation always 20% etc.
Animate Object.... Animate Dead.... No Inquisitor! I swear I'm not a Necromancer!...
I was just settling on Chirurgeon Alchemist when I discovered Healing Bomb is not PRD. That has dampened my enthusiasm as I had plans for is... I also realize I used that discovery in error on Rodaford Engal.
I'll keep thinking and looking over options.
I had been planning ranged support with an Alchemist (Chirurgeon) using Healing Bomb... however, without Healing Bomb I will need to abandon range support and move into melee support.
Doctor Mikael Galeno will have to be an armored Alchemist wielding the power of alchemical medicine to heal his allies and carve up his enemies... Chirurgeon/Vivisectionist?
Then again... I could drop the healing shtick and go with fighter... or Barbarian... I mean we have loads of mystic types... someone has to be the muscle head in the group, right?
Hrmmmmnnn....
Doctor Galeno could be a Fighter (Tactician)... Using his knowledge of mundane medicine and the command of oration, he could command his allies in combat to greater effectiveness... maybe throw in VMC: Bard and jump for Battle Herald. Might not be able to use magic, but sure can shout at you the whole battle long!
This needs more thinking...
Working in another direction now.
Fighter, Face, Physician!
Quasi-Alliteration is win!
Or I can demonstrate my aptitude for mechanical inefficiency!

You can do both, the theme being commanding allies in combat and allowing them to act as one
, you can still choose awful bonus teamwork feats, but core class features still ensure that others benefit merely from your presence.
For example, combat medic is a very poor choice, but you can grab it as one of your bonus TW feats.
screech!!
