This is a Discovery — a class feature gained through that class's own talent choices, not a feat you pick through normal feat selection.

(Su) The alchemist's cognatogen now grants a +6 natural armor bonus, a +8 alchemical bonus to one mental ability score (Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma), a +6 alchemical bonus to a second mental ability score, and a +4 alchemical bonus to a third mental ability score. The alchemist takes a -2 penalty to his Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution as long as the cognatogen persists, and takes 2 points of ability damage to each physical ability score when the cognatogen ends.

Prerequisites

Alchemist level 16th, greater cognatogen discovery or greater cognatogen class ability
