Glassworking Specilists 1.A
Alchemist
Introduced in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, the Alchemist is an expert at combining reagents to produce mystical effects. Here are some additions to make the subclass stick out more in your world. If a change is similar but doesn't include a new feat, it will be highlighted in black.
Tool Proficiency
When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with alchemist's supplies. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.
Alchemist Spells
Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Alchemist Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.
Alchemist Spells
| Alchemist Level | Alchemist Spells |
|---|---|
| 3rd | Healing Word, Silvery Barbs |
| 5th | Wither and Bloom, Prayer of Healing |
| 9th | Gaseous Form, Mass Healing Word |
| 13th | Blight, Death Ward |
| 15th | Mass Cure Wounds, Raise Dead |
Experimental Elixir
Beginning at 3rd level, whenever you finish a long rest, you can magically produce an experimental elixir by tinkering with your alchemist's supplies for 1 minute. Roll on the Experimental Elixir table relevant to your Artificer level to determine the elixir's effect, which is triggered when someone drinks the elixir. As an action, a creature can drink the elixir or administer it to an incapacitated creature.
You can create additional experimental elixirs by expending a spell slot of 1st level or higher for each one. When you do so, you tinker with your alchemist's supplies for 1 minute per spell level spent. This is treated as a casting time. When you expend a slot 2nd level or higher you may roll twice on the 3rd Level Experimental Elixir or once on the 6th Level Experimental Elixir (given you are high enough level). When you roll multiple times, you may choose which effect from what you rolled. This ability continues, with the dice amount or level cast being increased with each level spell slot, limit of 5th. So a 5th level spell slot can roll 5 times on the 3rd Level Experimental Elixir or twice on the 14th Level Experimental Elixir.
Creating an experimental elixir requires you to have alchemist supplies on your person, and any elixir you create with this feature lasts until it is drunk or until the end of your next long rest.
When you reach certain levels in this class, you can make more elixirs at the end of a long rest: two at 6th level and three at 15th level. Roll for each elixir's effect separately. Each elixir requires its own flask and is rolled at highest level.

Infused Elixirs
5th level Alchemist Artificer feature, which replaces Alchemical Savant feature
Beginning at 5th level, you may use infusion slots to create an Infused Elixir. After a long rest, you expend an infusion slot when making an Experimental Elixir. When you do so you treat the infusion slot as the highest level spell slot you currently have access to.
If you roll multiple times on that an Experimental Elixir table, the resulting Infused Elixir gains all effects rolled. If you roll multiple times for an instantaneous effect (like healing), you gain a benefit from each roll. The you roll multiple times for a effect that lasts for a duration, the duration is doubled.
At 9th level, you can infuse an item when create an Infused Elixir. That item remains mundane until the Infused Elixir is drank, at which point it gains the magical infusion you gave it. You may only have a number of items infused like this equal to half your Proficiency Modifier rounded up.
Restorative Reagents
Starting at 9th level, you can incorporate restorative reagents into some of your works:
- Whenever a creature drinks an Experimental Elixir, you may cast spells as though you were at the drinker's location until the end of their next turn.
- You can create potions of Lesser Restoration after a long rest, provided you use alchemist's supplies. You you have a number equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Chemical Mastery
By 15th level, you have been exposed to so many chemicals that they pose little risk to you, and you can use them to quickly end certain ailments:
- You gain resistance to acid damage and poison damage, and you are now immune to the poisoned condition.
- A potion you carry can be used to apply the spell Greater Restoration or Heal without expending a spell slot. As a bonus action, you swish the bottle and it gains the properties of one of the spells. Once you cast either spell with this feature, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.
Gaffer
While the Alchemist produces effects for ingestion, the Gaffer takes a more combative role in the world, using their vials and magic to fight.
Tool Proficiency
When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with glassblower tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice. At 9th level, you get proficiency with Herbalism or Poisoner's Kit.
Glassblower Spells
Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Alchemist Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.
Alchemist Spells

|---|---|
| 3rd | Bless, Ray of Sickness |
| 5th | Hold Person, Melf's Acid Arrow |

Glasshewen
Beginning at 3rd level, whenever you finish a long rest, you can produce a Splash Potion by tinkering with your glassblower tools for 1 minute using 5 gp worth of material. The splash potion is a simple thrown weapon with the finesse property that deals 1d4 piercing damage upon a hit.
You may, at the end of a long rest, cast a spell into a Splash Potion, as long as that spell requires an spell attack roll and has a duration of instantaneous. If you would choose information about the spell during the casting, such as damage type, it is chosen now. These potions keep their spell until used or the end of your next long rest.
You can throw a Spash Pottion as part of an attack action. Upon a successful hit, the potion breaks open all creatures in a 10 foot radius are subjected to the effects of the spell stored in the Splash Potion, as though they had been hit by a successful spell attack. The DM might allow a potion to break even if it misses, given the conditions. If so the potion bounces in a random direction, determined by a d8.
Alchemical Savant
At 5th level, you've developed masterful command of magical chemicals, enhancing the damage you create through them. Whenever you cast a spell using your glassblower tools as the spellcasting focus, you gain a bonus to one roll of the spell. That roll deal acid, fire, necrotic, or poison damage, and the bonus equals your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1). The radius of your Splash Potion increases to 15 feet.
Lingering Potion
At 9th level, your skill increases the power and potency of your attacks.
The radius of your Splash Potion increases to 20 feet.
You may, whenever you finish a long rest, expend an infusion and 25 gp to make a Lingering Potion. A Lingering Potion is like a Splash Potion, but you can cast any spell you know that has a duration of up to an hour into it. You do not burn a spell slot when doing so, however it must be cast at a level you have access to. When broken the Lingering Potion fills a 20 foot radius which lasts the entire duration. If the duration is instantaneous, the potion lasts for 1 minute. At the beginning of a round, if a creature starts its turn in the radius, it gains, takes damage from, or makes a saving throw against the effects of the spell.
At 15th level, you can infuse an item when create an Infused Elixir. That item remains mundane until the Lingering Potion is broken, at which point it gains the magical infusion you gave it. You may only have a number of items infused like this equal to half your Proficiency Modifier rounded up.
