## Class Features
As an Alchemist, you gain the following class features.

#### Hit Points

- **Hit Dice:** 1d8 per Alchemist level
- **Hit Points at 1st Level:** 8 + your Constitution modifier
- **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per Alchemist level after 1st

#### Proficiencies
___
- **Armor:** Light armor
- **Weapons:** Simple weapons, hand crossbow, heavy crossbow
- **Tools:** Alchemist's supplies
___
- **Saving Throws:** Constitution, Intelligence
- **Skills:** Choose two skills from Insight, Investigation, Medicine, Nature, Perception, and Sleight of Hand

#### Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:
- *(a)* a light crossbow and 20 bolts or *(b)* any simple weapon
- *(a)* 5 flasks of oil, 1 vial of acid, and 1 alchemist's fire
- *(a)* a dungeoneer's pack or *(b)* a scholar's pack
- *(a)* leather armor, any simple weapon, and alchemist's supplies

### CHEMISTRY
You have learned to combine various natural compounds into alchemical admixtures, unlocking the power of their physical properties to create powerful spell-like effects.  Although admixtures create effects which are similar to those created by certain spells and magic items, they are inherently non-magical. An admixture, or the effect created by an admixture, cannot be detected or dispelled using abilities that work on magic. Spells such as *detect magic*, *dispel magic*, *counterspell*, or *antimagic field* have no effect on admixtures.

###### LEARNING ADMIXTURES 
You begin with knowledge of two admixtures of your choice. You learn additional admixtures as you gain levels in this class as shown on the Admixtures Known column of the Alchemist table.
___
Additionally, when you gain access to a new alchemical admixture in this class, you can choose one of the admixtures that you know and replace it with another admixture from the list.

###### ALCHEMICAL RESOURCES
Alchemical admixtures you create require a certain amount of invested time and materials, which is represented as compounds.  Your base available compounds are shown in the Compounds column of the Alchemist table.  You add your Intelligence modifier to this quantity to determine your total available compounds.
___
Consumed compounds are refreshed at the end of a long rest.

###### MANUFACTURING ADMIXTURES
To manufacture alchemical admixtures, you must spend at least two hours during a long rest and have access to your alchemist’s supplies. Each admixture you create consumes one compound unless otherwise noted. 
___
Due to their volatility and instable chemical nature, all admixtures that you manufacture lose their potency and become inert at the start of your next long rest.

###### ADMIXTURE ABILITY
You use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC and attack modifier for any alchemist admixture you create when applicable. 
___
**Saving throw DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
___
**Attack Modifier** = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
___
###### USING ADMIXTURES
Admixtures come in three main varieties, which denote how they interact with targets:  Applied, Area, and Direct.
Applied admixtures are activated either by a creature consuming the admixture or by the solution being applied directly to a creature or item (as noted in the admixture’s description).
___
Area and direct admixtures interact with the world either by mixing with the air or allowing a combination of various chemicals to interact, which creates a reaction.  In either case, the admixture is typically inert in a container which is broken, releasing the reaction or effect.

###### AREA AND DIRECT ADMIXTURES
Most area and direct effect admixtures are triggered by being thrown at a target, which can be a creature, object, or point on the ground.  Due to the complexity involved in starting the reactions within the admixtures, you can only throw a single admixture per Attack action.  A thrown admixture has a normal range of 60 feet with a long range of 90 feet.
___
To utilize a direct admixture, you make a ranged attack against a creature or object, treating the admixture as an improvised weapon that you have proficiency with. You do not suffer disadvantage on your attack roll if you are within 5 feet of a hostile creature.  All rules for cover apply as normal.
___
When using an area admixture, you throw the admixture towards a point on the ground or object, shattering it on impact. An unoccupied space has an AC of 5 while the AC of other objects (for example, a small statue or a stalactite) are determined by your DM.

\pagebreakNum

>##### Optional:  Missing with an Area Effect Admixture
>Missing with an area effect admixture can lead to unpredictable results.  On a miss, the admixture strikes an area 1d4 x 5 feet from the intended target in a random direction as determined by a d8 (using a grid, 1 = NW, 2 = N, 3 = NE, 4 = W, 5 = E, 6 = SW, 7 = S, 8 = SE).  On a roll of 1, the target strikes an area 10 feet from the intended target in a random direction.
>___
>Creatures that do not have the alchemical admixtures class feature have disadvantage on attack rolls made with them, and on an attack roll of natural 1, the admixture breaks in their hand while being thrown, dealing the full effects to the wielder.

### PRACTICED ALCHEMY
Through countless hours of practice, you have become very skilled in the use of alchemical tools and supplies.  You double your proficiency bonus when making any check that uses your alchemist’s supplies.
___
While crafting alchemical items (e.g. acid, alchemist’s fire, holy water, or poison), for every day of downtime you spend crafting, you can create one or more items with a total market value not exceeding 25 gp, though you must expend raw materials worth half the total market value. If something you want to craft has a market value greater than 25 gp, you make progress every day in 25-gp increments until you reach the market value of the item.

### PYROTECHNICS
(Move to subclass)
___
Through your years of apprenticeship and experimentation, you have learned special pyrotechnical applications and can apply special powders from your alchemist’s supplies to torches you carry. Torches treated in this manner look like a regular flame, but cannot be smothered or quenched (including submerging in water) without special alchemical means.
___
You may quench an alchemical torch as a bonus action as long as you have the use of alchemist’s supplies.  Any other party must spend 1 minute and succeed on a DC15 tool (alchemist’s supplies) check to douse the flames.
___
You treat all torches as an improvised weapon that you have proficiency with.  Torches you have augmented are treated as clubs, dealing 1d4 fire damage in addition to their normal damage.  The fire damage increases to 1d6 at 5th level, 2d4 at 11th level, and 2d6 at 17th level.

### CRAFT HOMUNCULUS
At 2nd level, using a special alchemical process requiring 8 hours of work, you can create a homunculus.  Your homunculus functions as per the creature of the same name (MM, p 188), with several differences:

-	Your homunculus acts on your initiative
-	Your homunculus does not act independently; you must use a bonus action to direct your homunculus’ actions, which can include the attack action, hide action, use an object action, dodge action, disengage action, or object interaction.__
___
You add your proficiency bonus to the homunculus’ AC, attack rolls, and damage rolls. The creature’s hit points are equal to that in its stat block or 2 times your alchemist’s level (whichever is higher). 
___
If your homunculus dies, its body remains and reverts to a claylike substance, and can be reanimated via an alchemical process requiring 1 hour of work, 100 gp of raw materials,  and your alchemist’s supplies.

### ALCHEMIST’S GUILD
At 3rd level, you choose to follow the teachings of a guild of alchemists, which defines your focus in the course of your alchemical exploits: the Imperial Engineers, the Black Powder Traders, the Embalmer’s Guild, the Apothecary’s Guild, or the Energist’s, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice of alchemists’ guild grants you additional features at 3rd level and then again at 6th, 10th, 14th and 18th levels.

### ABILITY SCORE IMPROVEMENT
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

### PRACTICED MOTION
You have become so skilled with using your admixtures that you’re able to simultaneously perform certain other complex actions.  Beginning at 5th level, on any turn when you use your action to use an admixture, you may use your bonus action to perform a single melee attack or use an object.

### ALCHEMICAL TESTING
*Hand of Vecna credit*
___
You have gained much knowledge about the fundamental materials that make up the world. Starting at 6th level, you add half your proficiency bonus, to all skill checks made to identify herbs, potions, poisons, or other alchemical substances. If you are proficient with such a skill, this bonus stacks with your normal proficiency bonus.

### LESSER PHILOSOPHER’S STONE
At 7th level, you begin on the path to unlocking the secrets of true alchemy. Using your alchemist's supplies and 1000 gold pieces worth of materials, you can spend 8 hours of work creating a philosopher's stone, a source of alchemical energy encased in a fist-sized stone. Your philosopher's stone only works in your possession and you can only have 1 at a time. To any other creature, it is just an ordinary stone.

\pagebreakNum
___
Your philosopher’s stone, though not a magical item, functions in a similar manner to a magic item and has 7 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to create one of the following effects, as per the spell of the same name: *control flames^EE^*, *shape water^EE^*, *mold earth^EE^*, *gust^EE^*, *mending*, and *blade ward*.
___
The stone regains ld6 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the stone's last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the stone becomes inert and must be recharged by using your alchemist’s supplies, 100 gold pieces of material, and 4 hours of time.  At the completion of this activity, the stone gains 1 charge.
___
In addition, by spending 2 charges, you can temporarily alter the physical properties of one nonmagical object, changing it from one substance into another. You touch the stone to one object composed entirely of wood, stone (but not a gemstone), iron, copper, or silver, transforming it into a different one of those materials. For each 10 minutes you spend performing the procedure, you can transform up to 1 cubic foot of material up to a maximum amount of cubic feet equal to your alchemist level. After 1 hour, or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell), the material reverts to its original substance.

### HOMOUNCULUS LINK
Starting at 9th level, you forge a much deeper bond with your homunculus, linking your life force to that of the homunculus. You are aware whenever your homunculus takes damage and you can use a reaction to sacrifice a number of hit points up to the damage received. Each hit point spent in this way prevents 1 point of damage done to the homunculus. 
___
If you suffer damage that would reduce you to 0 hit points, you may transfer life energy from your homunculus in order to save yourself. You may transfer up to your Alchemist level in hit points, though you may not drain your homunculus below 1 hit point.  You may use this feature once per short rest.
___
Finally, you can spend 1 minute in meditation to share the senses of your homunculus, hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, and touching everything the homunculus does. There is no range to this effect, but you must be on the same plane as your homunculus.

### ALCHEMICAL METALLURGY
(move to sublcass)
___
At 11th level, you have mastered the art of combining alchemical chemistry and can create infusions that can be alloyed to armors, shields, and weapons.  
___
During a short rest, by spending one hour, you can create a single metallurgical infusion as long as you have access to your alchemist’s supplies.  This infusion may be applied to a single armor, shield, or weapon and it retains its potency for 1 hours.
___
You can infuse only one item at a time; if you infuse a second one, the first immediately loses its potency.
___
You may select from any of the metallurgical infusions detailed in the Alchemical Infusions section.

### GREATER PHILOSOPHER’S STONE
At 13th level, you delve even deeper into the mysteries of the philosopher’s stone.  Your stone now has 9 charges and gains 1d8+1 charges at dawn on each day.
___
While holding it, you can use an action to expend 2 or more of its charges to create one of the following effects, as per the spell of the same name: create or destroy water, gust of wind, flaming sphere, or spike growth.  Increasing the casting levels of these effects consumes 1 additional charge for each increased level.
___
In addition, as an action, you can transmute up to 10 gallons of water, into one of the following substances: 5 flasks of acid (as per PHB, p 148), 5 doses of basic poison (as per PHB, p 152), beer, honey, 5 flasks of oil (as per PHB, p 152), vinegar, salt water, or wine. This transformation lasts for 24 hours at which points it becomes water again. 
___
You must complete a short or long rest before you can do this again.

### POTENT ADMIXTURES
Beginning at 15th level, you can make admixtures at higher potencies by utilizing two compounds when making an admixture.  This increases the save DC by 2 and you can reroll a number of the damage dice up to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one) when used. You must use the new rolls.

### LEGENDARY ADMIXTURES
At 17th level, you unlock a deeper mystery of the alchemy and learn a single legendary admixture.  When you gain access to a new alchemical admixture in this class, you can instead choose one a legendary admixture. You can also choose to replace an admixture that you know with a legendary admixture whenever you are eligible to learn a new admixture.
___
Manufacturing legendary admixtures requires the use of six compounds.

###### GLOBE OF NEGATION (AREA)
*A clear globe filled with a silvery mist*
___
On impact, the globe breaks and creates an opaque silvery cloud 10-feet in diameter.  The cloud cancels any spell effect that is cast into or through its area. This functions as globe of invulnerability, but it affects spells of any level. The cloud can negate a total number of spell levels equal to your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier, after which the cloud dissipates. Spells that exceed the number of remaining levels remove all remaining levels, but are weakened; any creatures targeted by such spells receive a +4 circumstance bonus on any saving throws against the spells’ effects. The globe lasts for a number of rounds equal to your occultist level. It has no effect on spells originating within the globe—only on those that enter its area as or after they are cast. You must be at least 11th level to select this focus power.

\pagebreakNum

###### MEDUSA’S EYE (AREA)
*A stoppered vial filled with grey mist*
___
On impact, the vial breaks and fills a 15-foot radius with a dense, grey mist.  The mist is thick enough to obscure vision.  Creatures entering or within the area must make a Constitution saving throw or become petrified.  The mist lasts for 1 minute or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it.

###### PHILOSOPHER’S BURST (AREA)
*A tiny silver-cage crystal, filled with a unknown pink chemical*
___
Created by transferring the near limitless energy from your philosopher’s stone to a chemical filled silver-caged crystal. All creatures in a 30-foot radius receive 10d10 + 50 force damage.

###### PRIME ACID (DIRECT)
*A heavy obsidian vial of dark green liquid.* 
___
On a hit, the target is splashed with corrosive liquid and takes 20d6 acid damage. Any creature reduced to 0 hit points by the acid is entirely disintegrated, leaving behind only a small bubbling pool. A disintegrated creature’s equipment is also destroyed, though magic items can be given a save as determined by the DM.
___
When used against an object, the liquid disintegrates as much as one 10+1d10-foot cube of nonliving matter. The acid affects even objects constructed entirely of force, such as forceful hand or a wall of force, but not magical effects such as a globe of invulnerability or an antimagic field.

###### SINGULARITY CORE (AREA)
*A large black gemstone, pulsating with multi-colored lights*
___
Upon impact, the gemstone releases a massive pulse of energy and creates a singularity on the target square, lasting for 3 rounds. In a radius of 50 feet around the singularity, it costs triple movement speed to move away from the center and half movement speed to move towards the center.  Each creature that starts its turn within 50 feet of the singularity must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pulled 15 feet towards the singularity.  Small creatures have disadvantage on this saving throw.

###### TEMPORAL FLUX (AREA)
*A small metal box, each face made from a different metal*
___
This admixture slows the flow of time for all creatures caught in a 30-foot radius. A creature within the area must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or it cannot takes reactions, bonus actions, moves at half their base speed, and always act last in a combat turn until the start of its next turn at which point it can attempt another save (if it’s still within the area).
___
The box projects this aura for 1 minute and then ceases to function.

### TRUE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE
At 20th level, you discover the final secrets of the philosopher’s stone, including the secret to eternal youth and vitality. Your stone no longer consumes charges to activate its abilities and confers upon you the following benefits while it is in your possession:

-	You age at 1/10th the normal rate for your race, and your age cannot be magically changed
-	While your philosopher's stone is on your person, you have advantage on saving throws against poison, have resistance to poison damage, and are immune to disease.
- If you are killed, your soul is immediately transferred to your homunculus if it’s on the same plane of existence. If your homunculus is not available, then the transference fails. Once you have transferred to your homunculus, you gain complete control over the homunculus, replacing its Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma with your own.  You can choose to reside in the homunculus until such time as your body is returned to life (which instantly returns your soul to your own body), you find another form to inhabit, or have the homunculus consume your philosopher’s stone which causes the homunculus to transform into your original body over the course of a week.
___
Finally, once per week, you can transmute a block of lead into one of gold worth 1d6 x 1000gp.

\pagebreakNum

## ALCHEMICAL ADMIXTURES
Admixtures are generally contained in a glass flask or vial and release their energy when the container is destroyed, either intentionally through being thrown at a target or through accident.

##### ALCHEMICAL ACID (Direct)
*A vial of thick, clear liquid.* 
___
On a hit, the target is splashed with the liquid and takes 1d6 acid damage.

___
Alchemical acid applied directly (poured on) to an object or an object hit with alchemical acid automatically takes full damage.

##### ALCHEMICAL FIRE (Direct)
*A stone flask with thick, green-black fluid.* 
___
The flask shatters on impact and fluid ignites when exposed to air. On a hit, the target takes 1d4 fire damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature can end this damage by using its action to make a Dexterity check to extinguish the flames. A flammable object hit by this admixture ignites if it isn't being worn or carried.
___
This admixture’s damage increases by 1d4 when you reach certain levels in this class: 3rd level (2d4), 9th level (3d4), 15th level (4d4), and 20th level (5d4).

##### ALCHEMICAL FROST (Direct)
*A delicate glass globe, heavily obscured with frost.*  
___
On a hit, the globe shatters covering the target in frost and ice crystals. The target suffers 1d6 cold damage and have disadvantage on its next attack or skill check.
___
This admixture’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach certain levels in this class: 5th level (2d6), 9th level (3d6), 15th level (4d6), and 20th level (5d6).
___
Alternately, you can apply this admixture directly to water or other liquid, freezing a 10-foot cube into a block of ice.

##### ALCHEMICAL INFERNO (Area)
*A vial of roiling, red liquid.* 
___
On impact, the vial detonates in a roiling ball of fire in a 10-foot radius. Any creature in the area takes 1d10 fire damage. Flammable objects hit by this admixture ignite if not being worn or carried.
___
This admixture’s damage increases by 1d10 when you reach certain levels in this class: 5th level (2d10), 9th level (3d10, 15-foot radius), 15th level (4d10), and 20th level (5d10, 20-foot radius).

##### ALCHEMICAL UNGUENT (Area)
*A flask of black viscous liquid.* 
___
Upon impact, the flask bursts and covers a 10-foot square of ground. Any creature entering this area or starting its turn in the oil must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone.
___
The unguent can be poured over a single creature, granting advantage on attempts to resist grapples for 1 minute.

##### BLACK WATER (Direct, Area)
An eerie, dark liquid in a coral flask
When poured, the liquid taints all of the water in a 20-foot radius for the next hour. The tainted water cannot be breathed, even by a creature that normally breathes water. In addition, any creature that breathes water that enters or begins its turns in the tainted water must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or immediately run out of breath (see PHB, page 183).

##### BLESSED FIRE (Direct)
Alchemical Fire infused with blessed water. If the target is a fiend or undead, it takes an additional 2d4 radiant damage.

##### BOTTLED LIGHTNING (Direct)
*A metal globe, with sparks dancing across the face.*
___

___
This admixture’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach certain levels in this class: 5th level (2d6), 9th level (3d6), 15th level (4d6), and 20th level (5d6).

##### BURNING STONE (Area)
*Also referred to as forge stones, a black block that requires two hands to hold.*
___
Activated by a few drops of a chemical solution, when placed on the ground, the stone gives off intense heat, raising the temperature in a 30-foot radius increases to above 100 degrees.  Creatures in the area gain resistance to cold damage and ice accumulations begin to melt immediately.  This effect lasts for an hour.
___
A creature exposed to the heat and without access to drinkable water must succeed on a Constitution saving throw at the end of the hour or gain one level of exhaustion. The DC is 5 for the first hour and increases by 1 for each additional hour.
___
Creatures wearing medium or heavy armor, or who are clad in heavy clothing, have disadvantage on the saving throw. Creatures with resistance or immunity to fire damage automatically succeed on the saving throw, as do creatures naturally adapted to hot climates.

\pagebreakNum

##### COLD STONE (Area)
*An egg sized stone carved from dark blue ice.*
___
Also known as Winter’s Breath, when placed on the ground and activated, the stone emits waves of cold, coating all surfaces with frost and lowering the temperature in a 30-foot radius increases to below 0.  Creatures in the area gain resistance to fire damage and water beings to freeze immediately, creating thin ice immediately and turning to slippery ice (DMG, p  109-110) in 30 minutes.  This effect lasts for an hour.
___
A creature exposed to the cold must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw at the end of each hour or gain one level of exhaustion. Creatures with resistance or immunity to cold damage automatically succeed on the saving throw, as do creatures wearing cold weather gear (thick coats, gloves, and the like) and creatures naturally adapted to cold climates.

##### CRYSTALS OF LIGHT BENDING (Direct)
*Crystalline spheres in a small glass cube.*
___
Shaking the contents of the cube over a creature grants invisibility for 1 minute. This invisibilty is broken if the user makes an attack, casts a spell, or moves more than 5 feet in a single turn. Once a creature uses this admixture, the creature can’t do so again until it finishes a short or long rest.

##### DRAGON’S ROAR  (Direct)
*A small onyx block sealed with thick wax.*
___
On impact, the block shatters releasing a deafening explosion.  The target takes 1d6 thunder damage and must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or and be deafened for 1 hour. 
___
This admixture’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach certain levels in this class: 3rd level (2d6), 5th level (3d6), 9th level (4d6), 11th level (5d6), 15th level (6d6), 17th level (7d6) and 20th level (8d6).

##### DREAMSEED (Area)
*A vial of fine purple sand with silver flecks.*
___
On impact, the vial breaks and spreads a cloud of fine sand in a 15-foot radius.  Roll 5d8; the total is how many hit points of creatures the drifting sand can affect. Starting with the creature that has the lowest current hit points, each creature affected by the sand falls unconscious for 1 minute. For the next minute, only damage or someone taking an action to wake them can rouse them; after that, the target sleeps normally for the next 1 hour; shaking or loud noises will wake them. Subtract each creature’s hit points from the total before moving on to the creature with the next lowest hit points. A creature’s hit points must be equal to or less than the remaining total for that creature to be affected.
___
This admixture’s effect increases by 1d8 when you reach certain levels in this class: 3rd level (6d8), 5th level (7d8), 9th level (8d8), 11th level (9d8), 15th level (10d8), 17th level (11d8) and 20th level (12d8).

##### FIRE SALTS (Applied)
*Dense, grey crystals, typically filling a stoppered flask.*  
___
When applied to fire that is no more than 10 feet in diameter, a burning object, or creature engulfed in flame, the flame is immediately snuffed and goes out.  
___
If the solution is applied directly to a single creature, that creature gains resistance to fire damage for 1 hour.  At 9th level, a creature has advantage on any saving throws against fire damage in addition to the resistance.  At 17th level, the salts grant immunity to fire damage for 1 hour.

##### FLASHBANG (Area)
*A small opaque glass or clay globe.*
___
Upon impact, the globe shatters, releasing a flash of bright light and sound.  All creatures within a 10-foot radius must make a Constitution saving throw or can't take reactions until the start of their next turn.

##### LIGHTFOOT OIL (Applied)
*A small stoppered vial of milky-silver oil*
___
This oil is applied directly to a creature's feet or an object.  The target rises vertically, up to 20 feet or as allowed by the height of the ceiling or other obstruction, and remains suspended there for the 1 minute. The oil can levitate a maximum weight of 500 pounds. An unwilling creature that succeeds on a Constitution saving throw is unaffected.
___
The target can move only by pushing or pulling against a fixed object or surface within reach (such as
a wall or a ceiling), which allows it to move as if it were climbing.
___
When the effect ends, the target floats gently to the ground if it is still aloft.

##### MANA INFUSION (Special)
Admixtures infused with raw magical energy.  Any admixture can be infused by applying one additional compound during manufacturing. Damage inflicted by an admixture with a mana infusion counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage though the admixture becomes subject to spell resistance and effects that resist or negate magic.

##### MOON DUST (Area)
*A small glass bottle of iridescent blue powder.*
___
Upon impact, the globe shatters and coats objects and creatures within a 20-foot radius of its point of impact with the powder which immediately bursts into harmless faerie fire, causing creatures in the area of shed dim light in a 10-foot radius.  Creatures may make a Dexterity save to avoid being affected.  Moon Dust negates stealth and invisibility as well as granting advantage on attacks against the illuminated target. This effect lasts for 1 minute.

\pagebreakNum

##### MYSTIC'S TORPOR (Direct)
*A small vial of fine indigo-colored powder.*

### GROUNDED EXPERIMENTER
Beginning at 6th level, you have been exposed to lightning through many experiments.  You gain resistance to lightning damage.

### GOLEM CREATION
At 10th level, you have discovered the process to energize inanimate objects and can create the most basic of all golems, the wood golem (see below), sometimes known as a wood boy. The process for creating a wood golem takes 1 week, working at least 8 hours a day, and costs 1,500 gp worth of raw material.  As your skills improve, you gain access to more powerful golems.
___
Starting at 13th level, your mastery of golem creation has advanced to the point where you can sculpt and animate a clay golem (MM, p 168).  Creation of the golem is done over the course of 2 weeks, working 8 hours per day, and a cost of 6,500 gp worth of raw materials.
___
At 17th level, you have reached the pinnacle of knowledge in the creation of golems using alchemy.  You can carve and animate a stone golem (MM, p 170). Creation of the golem is done over the course of 1 month, working at least 8 hours per day, and a cost of 8,000 gp worth of raw materials.
___
You can only have one active golem at a time which requires an attunement slot to activate and control. Removing your attunement from a golem deactivates it until it is once again attuned to you. If you opt to create a new golem while you have an existing one, you can either dismantle the current golem (which recovers 500 gp of raw materials) or release attunement of the golem, at which point it ceases to function (75%) or becomes autonomous and not under your control (25%).
___
If your golem is ever destroyed, with 8 hours of work and the expenditure of 1/10th the cost of the initial raw materials, you can repair your golem’s body and restore its energies. You can only return a golem to service in this manner if you possess at least a portion of its body.
___
Your golem functions as per the creature of the same name (as per the MM), with several differences:

-	Your golem obeys your verbal commands as best it can, it rolls for initiative like any other creature, but you determine its actions
-	Your golem must be able to hear you
-	Your golem does not act independently; you must use a bonus action to specifically direct your golem’s actions, which can include movement, the attack action, dodge action, disengage action, grapple, shove, a single object interaction, or any special actions allowed by the golem’s description
-	You can issue a broad or generic command to a golem which it will attempt to carry out exclusive of all other activity until such time as you issue it another command (e.g. kill all goblins).
___
Hit Points lost by the Golem cannot be regained as normal during short or long rests, or by magical healing. Instead, you can use your alchemist’s supplies to repair the golem. To do so, you must spend 2 hours during a short or long rest working on your golem. Time spent in this way does not count as 'strenuous activity' and so does not prevent you from gaining the benefits such a rest but does conflict with time needed for making admixtures. During a short rest, a golem being repaired regains 1d8 hit points. This increases by an additional 1d8 at 13th, and again at 17th levels. The mending spell can be used on a golem to restores 3 hit points, but cannot be used to restore more than 9 hit points per 24 hour period.  
___
Alternately, you can touch a golem with your philosopher’s stone, and heal 10d8 points of damage.  Using your philosopher’s stone in this way does not expend any charges but renders the stone inert for a period of 24 hours.
___
When the golem is reduced to 0 hit points, it falls to the ground, inanimate.

\pagebreakNum

### IMPRINTED VITALITY
Beginning at 14th level, you are able to place a small piece of your life force into the golems you create.  During a rest, you may use your own hit dice in addition to your alchemist’s supplies to heal any golem you have created.
___
In addition, golems that you create share a link with your subconscious mind allowing you to communicate telepathically with them as long as they're on the same plane of existence.
___
By spending 1 minute concentrating on an attuned golem, you gain the ability to project your voice through the golem and see utilize the golem’s senses.

### MORTAL HOUSING
At 18th level, you may transfer your consciousness into a golem that is attuned to you over the span of a long rest by placing your philosopher’s stone in the golem’s mouth.  During this time your body is in a deep state of unconsciousness, gaining the paralyzed condition.

> **Note:** Some alchemists craft special receptacles in their crafted golems for the specific purpose of housing their philosopher’s stones; a cavity in the heart or head are most common.

You may end this effect whenever you wish by performing a 1 hour ritual, at which point your consciousness returns to your body and you gain 1 level of exhaustion.  If the golem your mind inhabits is reduced to 0 hit points, you automatically return to your body and suffer 6d6 points of psychic damage in addition to the level of exhaustion. 
___
While your consciousness is housed within the golem, you replace its Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma with your own, maintaining the golem’s physical attributes.  You have access to all your skills and class features.  You count as a construct, gaining all golem’s resistances and immunities.  In addition you do not require air, food, drink or rest. 
___
While in the golem, you cannot use your hit dice to heal yourself while resting, though you are able to refresh any class features tied to resting.

On each of its turns while berserk, the golem attacks the nearest creature it can see. If no creature is near enough to move to and attack, the golem attacks an object, with preference for an object smaller than itself. Once the golem goes berserk, it continues to do so until it is destroyed or regains all of its hit points. The golem’s creator, if within 60 feet of the berserk golem, can try to calm it by speaking firmly and persuasively. The golem must be able to hear its creator, who must take an action to make a DC 14 Charisma (Persuasion) check. If the check succeeds, the golem ceases being berserk. If it takes damage while still at 30 hit points or fewer, the golem might go berserk again.
