Alchemist
Brew and Administer Magical Elixirs
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
When you adopt this specialization, 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.
| 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: Experimental Elixir
You have learned to produce magical potions called Experimental Elixirs, which sometimes have random effects:
Random Elixirs Whenever you finish a Short or Long Rest, you can magically produce an 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. The number of Elixirs you can make in this way increases to two at level 10, rolling for each elixir separately, and containing each in its own flask.
Controlled Elixirs As a Magic action, you can produce one Elixir in a flask you touch. Instead of rolling, you choose the desired effect from the Experimental Elixir table. You can do this once per Short Rest.
Drinking and Administering Elixirs As a Bonus Action, a creature can drink the elixir or administer it to an Incapacitated creature.
Alchemical Limitations Creating an Experimental Elixir requires you to have alchemist's supplies on your person, and any Elixir you create with this feature lasts until it is drunk or until the end of your next Short or Long Rest.
Experimental Elixir Table
| d6 | Name | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Healing | The drinker regains a number of Hit Points equal to 2d4 + your Intelligence Modifier |
| 2 | Swiftness | The drinker's walking speed increases by 10 feet for 1 hour. |
| 3 | Resilience | The drinker gains a +1 bonus to AC for 10 minutes. |
| 4 | Boldness | The drinker can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to every attack roll and saving throw they make for the next minute. |
| 5 | Flight | The drinker gains a flying speed of 10 feet for 10 minutes. |
| 6 | Transformation | The drinker's body is transformed as if by the Alter Self spell. The drinker determines the transformation caused by the spell, the effects of which last for 10 minutes. |
Level 3: Alchemical Grenades
Through your explorations into alchemy you have learned to make explosive concoctions that can be lobbed at groups of enemies.
Creating a Grenade When you start casting a spell using your Alchemist's Supplies as the spellcasting focus, you can turn that casting into an Alchemical Grenade. The spell must deal Acid Fire, Necrotic or Poison damage. You can ignore any Verbal components for this casting of the spell.
Alchemical Explosion When you cast a spell in this way and only target one creature with it, each creature within 5 feet of the target, other than the target itself, must succeed a Dexterity saving throw against your Spell Save DC, or takes half of the spell's damage. The spell does not gain this benefit if it already targets an area.
The radius of this explosion increases to 10 feet when you reach level 9 in this class.
Level 5: Alchemical Savant
You've developed masterful command of magical chemicals, enhancing the healing and damage you create through them.
Enhanced Healing Whenever you cast a spell using your Alchemist's supplies that restores Hit Points to a creature, you can add your Intelligence modifier (minimum +1) to one healing roll of the spell. You add the same bonus to the Healing roll of the Healing effect of your Experimental Elixir.
Deadly Toxins Whenever you use your Alchemical Grenades feature and use the Alchemical Explosion benefit, you add your Intelligence modifier to the explosion's damage. The affected creatures still take half damage on a successful saving throw.
Level 9: Restorative Reagents
You can incorporate restorative reagents into some of your works:
Fortifying Elixirs 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).
Lesser Restoration You always have the Lesser Restoration spell prepared, and you cast it without expending a spell slot, 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:
Chemical Resistance You gain Resistance to Acid damage and Poison damage, and you have immunity to the Poisoned condition.
Mastered Alchemy You can cast the Greater Restoration and Tasha's Bubbling Cauldron spells without expending a spell slot, without preparing the spell, and without material components, 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.
