Alchemist

You enjoy tinkering with alchemical formulas and substances in your spare time, and your studies have progressed beyond mere experimentation. You might throw bombs, drink mutagens, or carry an assortment of helpful elixirs and alchemical tools.

• Barbarian alchemists can mix mutagens with their rage to ferocious effect.
• Champion alchemists can focus on alchemical items that boost defenses and heal others, allowing their champion's reaction and lay on hands to go further.
• Fighter alchemists can use their alchemy to gain additional options in situations where their usual tactics don't work.
• Ranger alchemists often focus on alchemy and snares, getting extra use out of their Crafting skill and supplying bombs for the bomb snare.
• Rogue alchemists can combine a rogue's poison feats with free daily poisons, and bombs present an interesting way to sneak attack with various types of energy damage.
• Spellcaster alchemists often use their alchemical items to take pressure off their repertoire or prepared spells. For instance, a wizard alchemist who can brew up darkvision elixirs to grant vision in darkness can prepare another spell instead of darkvision.
