# Alchemist
The frizzy haired human dashes past the orc, slapping him as she passes. Enraged, the orc starts to give chase but stops when he realizes that something was wrong. The slap was hurting too much to be just a slap. That was when he noticed that there was acid melting his face off. It's cries of agony were echoed by it's companions as the human heads back to town to pick up more acid and collect the bounty.

Laughing maniacally to himself, the gnome threw the vibrating vial over the rock into the hoard of goblins he knew were on the other side. Soon enough, a large explosion shook the ground as the vial exploded into a fireball. The little gnome finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and his laughter grew to math the sound of his explosives going of as he threw them over the rock.

Throwing his cloak aside, the elf stood defiantly in the way of the demon. The demon was confused, not because of the elf in its way, but because the elf had four arms, a pair of wings, and a scorpion tail. The demon double checked to see whether its invisibility was somehow disabled, but it wasn't. How was this elf seeing it. Humming to himself, the elf drank a potion to make him faster, and charged the demon.

Alchemists are mad scientists, and though they aren't usually insane, their actions might seem so to others. Alchemists come in many different kinds, from scholars, to warmongers, to apothecaries, but they all have one thing in common, a desire to find out what happens when they combine one thing with another.

### The Magic of Fusion
Alchemists have discovered through experimentation that when certain things are fused, interesting results occur. They learn different recipes for making things explode, burn, heal, and empower, as well as how to properly store them to keep from bowing themselves up at every turn. More experienced alchemists are capable of mixing their deadly chemicals faster and faster, until it only takes them a few minutes to create a batch of their concoctions.

This alone would not make people question their sanity, but the vast majority of alchemists like to take it one step farther. After fusing chemicals, the next step is fusing items. More specifically fusing other creature's DNA with their own. This is a taxing process, and an alchemist can only support a certain amount of foreign DNA in their system, but powerful alchemists can have as many as five of these so called augmentations.

### Driving Curiosity
Curiosity is a powerful motivator for alchemists, and they hate being bored. It is this very curiosity that drives them to clear out previously discovered recipes to discover new ones. The loss of the knowledge doesn't matter to them because they don't care about knowledge. What an alchemist cares about is the path to find the knowledge, and that is where their curiosity plays a big role. When there is a cave, a fighter might wonder if there are dangerous creatures living in there, a rogue might wonder if there are traps, and a wizard might

\columnbreak

wonder if they have enough energy to deal with any magical attacks. All of them would enter with a reasonable degree of caution. An alchemist however, if left unchecked, will walk straight into the cave just to see what would happen.

### The Seven Founders
The science of potion making, as well as some fusion tactics have existed for millennia, however it was seven individuals who sheped the actual practice of alchemy. Each of the seven developed a certain part of the alchemical practice, and taught it to the others. Each of them kept the most potent parts of their discoveries to themselves however, but they passed them on to their successors, leading to the elemental paths, or alchemical focuses.

Most alchemists can tell you that each of the elemental paths follows the teachings of one of the seven founders by using the power of the correlating metal. More well versed scholars can tell you that the metal actually has no bearing on the powers, and the only reason that they are considered related is because of the founders fondnesses for said metals. What people don't know is that each of the seven founders was a metal-core photolith, who each had one of the 'fundamental metals' as their core.

### Creating an Alchemist
When creating an alchemist character, think about your character's introduction to alchemy. How did your character come to learn alchemy? Did you act as aprentice to another alchemist who taught you his way of alchemy? Did you study at a school for alchemy, with different specialties taught as different subjects? Or maybe you watched someone using alchemy, and studied on your own to replicate what you saw?

#### Quick Build
You can make an alchemist quickly by following these suggestions. First, put your highest ability score in Intelligence, followed by Constitution or Dexterity. Second choose the Guild Artisan background.

#### Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:
- *(a)* two katars or *(b)* any two simple weapons
- *(a)* scale mail or *(b)* leather armor, a hand crossbow, and 20 bolts
- *(a)* a dungeoneer's pack or *(b)* a scholar's pack
- Alchemist's supplies and an herbalism kit

> ##### Starting Wealth
> If you forgo this starting equipment, as well as the items offered by your background, you start with 5d4 × 10 gp to buy your equipment.

### Mystical Concoctions
The first thing any alchemist learns is how to tinker with chemicals to produce effects. You learn two concoctions from the Mystical Concoctions section at the end of this class description. As you reach higher levels in this class, you learn additional concoctions as shown in the Concoctions Known column of the Alchemist table. Additionally, whenever you finish a long rest, you may replace any number of concoctions

\columnbreak

you know with new ones.

When you finish a long rest, you may create a number of concoctions equal to your level. To use a concoction, you must take the action listed on the concoction, and the effects take place immediately and the concoction is destroyed, unless otherwise specified. All concoctions cease to function 24 hours after they are created. You must have your alchemist's supplies or your herbalism kit to create concoctions.

Some of the effects of your concoctions require your target to make a saving throw to resist the concoctions effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

> ##### Recipe Book
> An alchemists recipe book is where they store their formulas for concoction. Despite the name however, it is not actually a book. In fact, there is no writing at all, because an alchemist's recipe book is a vial of chemicals. The alchemists us a combination of chemicals to create certain scents which they can decode into recipes. They can only understand a certain amount of scents at a time, so when they decide to replace a recipe, they simply change what chemicals are in the vial.

\pagebreakNum

**Concoction Save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

### Augment Self
By this point, an alchemist will begin experimenting with their own physiology. At 2nd level, you gain the augmentation of your choice. Your augmentation options are detailed at the end of this class description. You gain an additional augmentation when you reach 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th level. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you may also replace one of your augmentations with another one from the list.

Regardless of your total number of augmentations, your DM has the final say as to whether or not two augmentations are mutually exclusive. It is encouraged however, that rather than disallow the combination that you work with your DM to come up with a reason why you should have both augmentations.

### Alchemical Focus
When you reach 3rd level, you choose one of the fundamental elements to emulate in your fusionary journey: Copper, Iron, Gold, Silver, Lead, Mercury, or Tin, all detailed at the end of this class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level, and again at 6th, 10th, and 15th level.

### Ability Score Improvement										
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

### Vial Slinger
Starting at 5th level, when you take the attack action, or use an action to use one of your mystical concoctions, you can make a second attack or use a second concoction as part of the same action.

### Mystical Resistance
By 14th level, you have been exposed to so many chemicals, and unlocked their secrets that they pose little risk to you. You gain resistance to acid and poison damage, and you are immune to the poisoned condition.

In addition, you have advantage on saving throws to avoid the negative effects of explosives, oils, poisons, potions, and salves, and resistance to damage dealt by explosives, oils, poisons, potions, and salves.

### Timeless Body
Beginning at 18th level, the chemicals you regularly intake have granted you a semblance of the immortality you strive for, causing you to age more slowly. For every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year.

### Philosopher's Stone
At 20th level, you create a masterpiece, your philosopher's stone. As an action, you can cause your philosopher's stone to morph into a liquid state, and fuse into your body, granting you one of the effects below. You choose this effect when you create the stone, and you cannot change it, nor can you

\columnbreak

change the chosen Prime Augmentation if you choose the *perfect body* effect.

Additionally, as an action you may eject your philosopher's stone from your body, causing it to manifest in your hand. Doing so however means you lose the chosen effect until you reabsorb it. While in this form, your philosopher's stone can only be absorbed by you, and it is indestructable. You are always aware of the exact location of your philosopher's stone.

**Immortality.** Your body ceases to age while your philosopher's stone is within you. In addition, you are sustained by the magic of your philosopher's stone such that you no longer require food, drink, or sleep.

**Chemical Affinity.** While infused with your philosopher's stone, you may add half your constitution score to the number of concoctions you can create after a long rest, and you can learn 1 additional concoction. In addition, whenever you finish a short rest, you may replace any number of your remaining concoctions with other concoctions you know, up to an amount equal to your Intelligence modifier.

**Perfect Body.** You gain the Prime Augmentation of your choice while filled with your philosopher's stone, which are detailed at the end of this class description.

## Alchemical Focus

In addition, when a creature you can see makes an ability check, you may add your proficiency bonus to the check. You can choose to do so after the roll is made, but before the result of the check is determined. Once you do so, you must finish a short or long rest before doing so again.

#### Lucky Self
By 6th level, you can occasionally alter fate in your favor. When you make an ability check or a saving throw, you can use this feature to add a d10 to your roll. You can do so after seeing the initial roll but before any of the roll's effects occur.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

This feature has no effect on undead.

#### Homonculus
Also at 3rd level, you create a homonculus. Whenever you finish	a long rest and your alchemist’s supplies are with you, you can form this homunculus in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. If you already have a homunculus from this feature, you cannot create another one.

The homunculus is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See this creature’s game statistics in the Alchemical Homunculus stat block. You determine the homonculus's appearance, which includes wings and bits of alchemical equipment. Some alchemists prefer mechanical-looking birds, whereas others like winged vials or miniature cauldrons.

In combat, the homunculus shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take one of the actions in its stat block or to take the Dash, Disengage, or Help action.

If the mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. If it dies, you may revive it at the end of your next long rest, provided it is within 5 feet of you and you have your alchemist's supplies with you.

### Tin ♃
You augment your fusionary powers with magic like Lord Jupiter 'Tinstaff'.

#### Spellcasting
When you reach 3rd level, you learn the arts of arcane spellcasting. See chapter 10 of the phb for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the wizard spell list.

**Cantrips.** You learn two cantrips of your choice from the Wizard spell list. You learn an additional Wizard cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

**Spell Slots.** The Tin Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level or higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a spell slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st level spell *shield*, and you have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast *shield* using either slot.

**Spells known of 1st level and Higher.** You know three 1st-level Wizard spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from the evocation and transmutation spells on the wizard spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Tin Spellcasting table shows when you learn more wizard spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be an evocation or transmutation spell of your choice, and must be of a level you have the spell slots for. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come from any school of magic.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the wizard spells you know with another spell of your choice from the wizard spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and must be an evocation and transmutation spell, unless you're replacing the spell you gained at 8th, 14th, or 20th level.

**Spellcasting Ability.** Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your wizard spells, since you learn your spells through study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a wizard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

#### Spell-in-a-Bottle
At 6th level, when you use your action to cast a cantrip, you can use one concoction as a bonus action.

#### Distracting Throws
By 10th level, you can put something in your concoctions to make affected creatures more susceptible to your magic. When a creature fails a saving throw against one of your concoctions, that creature has disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes against a spell you cast before the end of your next turn.

#### Improved Spell-in-a-Bottle
Starting at 14th level, when you use your action to cast a spell, you can use one concoction as a bonus action.

## Mystical Concoctions
Concoctions are a staple of an alchemist's power set. The concoction choices you may choose from are listed below in alphabetical order. The action requirement of a concoction, as well as its type (Explosive, Oil, Potion, or Salve) are listed in the description of the concoction. You can't learn a concoction more than once.

#### Acid Bomb
*explosive, 1 action*
___
You may throw this bomb up to 60 feet, where it explodes with a corrosive liquid. Each creature within 20 feet of the bomb must make a dexterity saving throw. A target takes 12d4 acid damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.

When you reach 12th level, the damage increases to 18d4.

#### Aquashock Grenade
*explosive, 1 action*
___
You may throw this grenade up to 60 feet, where it explodes with magically enhanced water. Each creature within 20 feet of the bomb must succeed on a dexterity saving throw or become drenched. A drenched creature has disadvantage on saves against effects that deal cold damage, and has vulnerability to lightning damage. In addition, drenched creatures gain exhaustion twice as fast from effects relating to extreme cold, and half as fast from effects relating to extreme heat.

A drenched creature can remove the condition by spending at least 5 minutes by a fire, changing clothes, or taking at least 20 points of fire damage.

When you reach 12th level, the radius increases by 20 feet.

#### Atrophy Paste
*salve, l action*
___
Make an unarmed strike using your Intelligence modifier instead of your Strength modifier.

At the end of each of it's turns, the target can make a Constitution saving throw to end the effect on itself.

When you reach 12th level, a creature can only make the saving throw every other turn.

#### Blinding Paste
*salve, l action*
___
Make an unarmed strike using your Intelligence modifier instead of your Strength modifier. On a hit, the target is blinded as it's eyes cease to function for 1 minute, and the salve is expended. At the end of each of it's turns, the target can make a Constitution saving throw to end the effect on itself.

When you reach 12th level, a creature can only make the saving throw every other turn.

\columnbreak

#### Breath in a Bottle

This class was inspired by multiple sources. The alchemist specialty of the Eberron Artificer inspired me to make this class in the first place after I wanted more to an alchemist. The subclasses were inspired in part by some of the 'mystical powers' of the seven planetary metals. Other sources of inspirations came from other various classes and subclasses.
