TIER ONE FEATURE: School of Biochemistry
- AXP: 2000
- Pre-Requisites: None
- Grants Access To: None
A biochemist is primarily concerned with making inanimate objects animate, and making animate objects think. Separate from necromancy, as their targets are not necessarily dead. However, their aberrations might stir up anger from those who consider them affronts to the majesty of nature.
This feature is a prerequisite for features in the Biochemist Feature Tree.
You learn the following recipe:

You may spill this animating chemical in a patch of organic material (soil, dirt, vegetation, tar, etc.) The organic material then amalgamates into a creature with mottled grey skin, thick white fur, and an average muscle/fat consistency that helps to protect it. It has 1d4 sets of black glossy eyes and 1+1d4 sets of legs. Only 1 primordial allowed at any time. Attempting to make another will dissolve the other into grey goo.
