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.

Level 3: Tool Proficiency

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.

Level 3: Alchemist Spells

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

Artificer Level	Spells
3	Healing Word, Ray of Sickness
5	Flaming Sphere, Melf's Acid Arrow
9	Gaseous Form, Mass Healing Word
13	Blight, Death Ward
17	Cloudkill, Raise Dead

Level 3: Alchemist’s Stone

You can create an Alchemist’s Stone – a magical catalyst that can be used to amplify certain alchemical reactions or create new ones altogether. Creating a stone requires you to have your alchemist’s supplies on your person, and can be done at the end of a long rest. You may only have one Alchemist’s Stone at a time; creating a new one causes the existing one to crumble away and disappear. Your Alchemist’s Stone can be used as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells.

Your Alchemist’s Stone has a number of charges equal to you proficiency modifier, and regains all expended charges when you complete a long rest. You can cast a spell from your Alchemist Expanded Spell List by expending charges from the stone equivalent to the spell’s level, rather than expending a spell slot. In addition, as an action you may expend one charge of the Alchemist’s Stone and touch a willing creature, granting it one of the following effects:

• Healing: The creature regains HP equivalent to 2d4 plus your Intelligence modifier.
• Buoyancy: The creature gains a flying speed of 10 feet for ten minutes.
• Resilience: The creature gains a +1 bonus to its Armor Class for ten minutes.
• Boldness: The creature may roll 1d4 and add the number rolled to any attack roll and saving throw they make for the next ten minutes.
• Swiftness: The creature’s walking speed increases by ten feet for one hour.
• Alteration: The creature transforms as per the Alter Self spell. The creature determines the nature of the transformation, which lasts for ten minutes.

While holding the stone in your hand, you may expend one charge and fill an empty flask you can touch with an arcane elixir. Choose one of the effects listed above; when drunk, the elixir grants the drinker the effect you chose. Any arcane elixirs created in this way lose their potency and disappear when you complete a long rest.

Level 3: Experimental Elixir

Whenever you finish a long rest, you can magically produce an experimental elixir in an empty flask you touch. Roll on the Experimental 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.

You can create additional experimental elixirs by expending a spell slot of 1st level or higher for each one. When you do so, you use your action to create the elixir in an empty flask you touch, and you choose the elixir's effect from the Experimental Elixir table.

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.

Level 5: Alchemical Savant

You've developed masterful command of magical chemicals, enhancing the healing and damage you create through them. Whenever you cast a spell using your alchemist's supplies as the spellcasting focus, you gain a bonus to one roll of the spell. That roll must restore hit points or be a damage roll that deals acid, fire, necrotic, or poison damage, and the bonus equals your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).

Level 9: Restorative Reagents

You can incorporate restorative reagents into some of your works:

• Whenever a creature drinks an experimental 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.

Level 15: Chemical Mastery

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.

• 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.
