Alchemist

Class Features

Formulas At 1st level when choosing the Alchemist class you gain access to Formulas allowing you to gain control over the elements and utilize them against your enemies as well as healing elixirs to support and aid your allies. The number of Formulas you can use per long rest is determined by your Alchemic gauntlet, a special device that starts with only 6 chambers available, but is modified as you level to hold more. Formulas can only be mixed and added into the Gauntlet during long rests as the process of loading the gauntlet takes time.
