Alchemy
Ingredient types: Alchemical, Herbal, Poisonous
Time needed: Without a recipe, generally it is 25 gp per 8 hours. With a recipe, it is 50 gp per 8 hours (some recipes may deviate from this).
Needs: Alchemist's Supplies
Time: Number of hours, days or weeks needed to brew the potion. Most potions do not require a continuous brewing, though some do. Each time a brewing is attempted and stopped to do something else, the DC raises.
Alchemy Check: The check uses Intelligence modifier, and if proficient with Alchemist's Supplies, plus Proficiency. (If user has Expertise with Alchemist's Supplies, then double their proficiency!)
How-to: If required to, have the GM roll on the Alchemy Unskilled Chart in secret (if you aren't proficient or do not have an alchemy book for the type of potion you want to create).
Step 1: Determine how long you will work uninterrupted. For each interruption, +1 to the overall DC. Each time you stop crafting simply counts as +1, regardless of 1 hour or 1 week in-between.
Step 2: Roll on the Alchemy Success Chart.
--If the entire potion is crafted in 1 sitting, resting during brewing does not count as an interruption unless the recipe clearly states it so, then the process ends here and skip to Step 4.--
Step 3: Returning to work on brewing the potion, return to Step 1.
--Repeat this step until completed entire brewing process for the recipe.--
Step 4: Your potion is ready.
