Overview & Creation

The alchemist is a master of transmutatives, wyrmsmokes and explosives, they specialise in oils, acids and other fixatives.. Master alchemists know how to create flasks of death, or undo stone and iron. Where an apothecary's potion emboldens the soul, an alchemists admixture may bring thunderous fear and pyrotechnics to the field. Many alchemists are firebugs willing to set fires and explosions where they go, using their bombs to shatter hordes and level giants.

Lv 10 – Legendary Alchemist

In addition, the alchemist may craft enhanced pyrotechnics by combining multiple wyrmsmokes into one complex pyrotechnic.

The DC to combine the wyrmsmokes being;  

• +4 per common recipe
• +6 per uncommon recipe
• +8 per rare recipe
• +10 per legendary recipe

  If successful, then the pyrotechnic combines all effects of the base wyrmsmokes, if the check fails by more than 10, then there is a premature detonation. With the device exploding during crafting setting off all wyrmsmokes being combined. Otherwise then only one of the wyrmsmoke effects triggers when lit determined at random by the GM.
