Class Features
Great Work
Alchemists are obsessed with the Great Work to perfect their mysterious art, and will stumble upon new discoveries from time to time that enhance their knowledge.
You learn one 1st-level discovery of your choice.
At 3rd, 5th, 8th, and 10th level, you learn an additional discovery of your level or lower.
Material Harvesting
Certain alchemist powers may require alchemical materials. As well as being able to purchase these, or find them on your adventures, you can also take them from nature itself. Alchemical materials may appear in the form of exotic plants and minerals, or rare body parts from slain beasts and monsters.
However, you will always be able to find a minimum amount of alchemical materials, regardless of the environment. This amount is equal to your level.
Prime Philosophy
Alchemists all study the same principles, but their approach to those studies can change their approach to life. These schools of thought are known as the prime philosophies, and all alchemists belong to one - whether they were taught by a master, or if they arrived at it by themselves.
- Etheric: You gain a +4 bonus to all skills you are trained in.
- Mercurial: After an extended rest, you can exchange one at-will power that you know for another at-will power that you do not currently know. This does not change the total number of powers you can have at your current level.
- Sulphate: Pick a damage type out of the following: acid, fire, lightning. You gain resist 5 against that particular damage type.
