Alchemist

An Alchemist is an expert at combining reagents to produce mystical effects. Alchemists use their creations to give life and to leech it away. Alchemy is the oldest of artificer traditions, and its versatility has long been valued during times of war and peace.

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.

Artificer Level	Alchemist Spells
3rd	Healing word, Ray of Sickness
5th	Flaming sphere, Melf's acid arrow
9th	Gaseous cloud, Mass Healing Word
13th	Blight, Death ward
17th	Cloudkill, Raise dead

Overflowing Elixir

Beginning at 3rd level, whenever you finish a long rest, you can magically produce an Overflowing elixir in an empty flask you touch. Roll on the Overflowing elixir table for 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. Only one creature may benefit from this elixir at a time, but it is not consumed when drunken. If an existing drinker is benefiting from your Overflowing elixir, and another creature drinks it, the first creature loses the effects. The effects all last for 10 minutes

Creating an Overflowing elixir requires you to have alchemist supplies on your person, and any elixir you create with this feature lasts 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.

d6	Effect
1	Quicken. The drinker gains an additional bonus action on their turn.
2	Swiftness. The drinker's walking speed increases by 10 feet
3	Resilience. The drinker gains a +1 bonus to AC
4	Blessed. The drinker can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to every attack roll and saving throw they make.
5	Enlarge. The drinker's size category and all their equipment is increased by one size.
6	Transformation. The drinker's body is transformed as if by the Alter Self spell. The drinker determines the transformation caused by the spell, additionally they gain one skill as a part of this transformation to gain proficiency in, or add a d4 to if they were already proficient

Battlefield Alchemy

Also at 3rd level, You've started to throw ingredients together on the fly, creating effects on the battlefield based on what you mix together. As an action you may begin to mix a "volatile concoction", choose a "reagent", and "Catalyst" from the lists below. Once you have done so, roll a Intelligence(Alchemy tools) check vs DC 12 (+ dc modifiers from all components) in order to successfully create the "volatile concoction" you must pass this check, wasting your action and all components on failure. You may only have one created at a time, if you succeed on a check to make another, the first one becomes an inert and useless sludge, however any ongoing effects remain. Other creatures may take a volatile concoction from you as an item interaction and use it as the fuse specifies.

All "catalysts" have a material component with a specified cost, which are consumed when you create(or fail an attempt to). Some Catalysts may only be purchased in certain places, and others may need to be collected. You DM may give you unique and rare catalysts with their own specified effects as well.

Dm's Note: It is recommended to create a "cheat sheet" of concoctions you will make on a more regular basis for gameplay flow.

Restorative Reagents

Starting at 5th level, you can incorporate restorative reagents into some of your works:
- Whenever a creature drinks an Overflowing elixir you created, the creature gains temporary hit points equal to 2d6 + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 temporary hit point).
- You can cast Lesser Restoration without expending a spell slot and without preparing the spell, provided you use alchemist's supplies as the spellcasting focus. You can do so a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Alchemical Savant

At 9th level, your mixing of random components and chemicals is done with even more complex precision, you may now use up to two unique Catalysts to your "volatile concoctions" when you create them. Some Catalysts have "hidden" interactions when combined creating an even greater effect.

Additionally you may use a bonus action to expend a flash of genius to reroll which effect on the table is granted by your Overflowing elixir

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 now roll all alchemist tools checks at advantage.
- You gain resistance to acid damage and poison damage, and you are now immune to the poisoned condition.
- You can cast Greater Restoration and Heal without expending a spell slot, without preparing the spell, and without providing the material component, provided you use alchemist’s supplies as the spellcasting focus. Once you cast either spell with this feature, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.
