# Wild Alchemist #### A DnD 5E Player-Class **by Aile the Alien** <div style="display:flex; justify-content:start; align-items:center"> <div style="width:40px"> </div> <img src='https://i.ibb.co/WfVqn0h/alchemist.png' height=240> </div> > ##### Unstable Brews > You love to concoct new mixtures! Fire-bombs and flash-bangs for your enemies, and smoke-bombs to escape? Make yourself stronger? Tiny? Huge? Anything is possible, even if it sometimes blows up in your face! ## Overview Your reckless potion brewing gives you the following traits: - **Hit Dice:** D6 - **Proficiencies:** - simple weapons - light armor, medium armor (to help with the explosions!) - alchemists' supplies, glassblower's tools, healer's kit - intelligence and constitution checks - **Starting Skills:** two from animal handling, acrobatics, arcana, athletics, history, investigation, insight, medicine, nature, religion, survival - **Starting Equipment:** - a club, sling and quarterstaff - an explorer's pack or scholar's pack - alchemists' supplies, glassblower's tools, healer's kit and herbalism kit - an alchemical grenade (this document), potion of healing, or oil of slipperiness \columnbreak ## Leveling _(PB is proficiency bonus, EP is elixir potency, AP is alchemy-point bonus or penalty, and +SoF stands for ability-score improvement, or taking an optional feat.)_ Level | PB | EP | AP | Misc -: | -: | -: | -: | :-: 1 | 2 | 1 | -2 | Combustible Character, Wondrous Elixirs 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 4 | +SoF 5 | 3 | 1 | 6 | 6 | 3 | 1 | 8 | 7 | 3 | 1 | 10 | 8 | 3 | 1 | 12 | +SoF 9 | 4 | 2 | 14 | 10 | 4 | 2 | 16 | 11 | 4 | 2 | 18 | 12 | 4 | 2 | 20 | +SoF 13 | 5 | 2 | 22 | 14 | 5 | 2 | 24 | 15 | 5 | 2 | 26 | 16 | 5 | 2 | 28 | +SoF 17 | 6 | 3 | 30 | 18 | 6 | 3 | 32 | The Bones 19 | 6 | 3 | 34 | +SoF 20 | 6 | 3 | 36 | ## Combustible Character Whether by absorption of so many chemicals, or deliberate sabotage to thwart enemies, your body is highly volatile and will erupt in flames if you suddenly become unconscious or die. (Normal sleep is gradual and safe.) When reduced to 0 HP, you blast flames in a small radius, and when you die the explosion deals triple the fire damage in the smaller radius in addition to a much larger size of thunder / bludgeoning damage. The dexterity check for the initial fire explosion is 20, and the secondary explosions are 15. Level | Initial Fire Damage | Fire Radius | Explosion Non-Fire Damage | Explosion Radius -: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: 5 | 1d4 | 5 | 2d8 | 25 10 | 2d4 | 10 | 3d8 | 30 15 | 4d4 | 15 | 4d8 | 35 20 | 8d4 | 20 | 5d8 | 40 \pagebreak ## Wondrous Elixirs These are the elixirs you've been perfecting the longest. Highly potent, other potions pale in comparison. They just...have some side-effects... When quaffed, you must succeed on an _INT/IWS/CHA_ saving throw, and the DC of the elixir's addiction is 15; After this save, the DC increases by 1. (The maximum DC is 28 and minimum is 8.) If you fail the quaffing save, you are affected by _The Rage_ instead of the normal effect, and the DC increases by 1 again. Their effects are long-lasting (unless you become unconscious), but you may choose to end them early. Ending the effects early is a free action in combat but ends your turn, and you must succeed on the addiction DC. (Failing to end them early has no extra effect; Succeeding reduces the addiction DC by 2; The elixirs wearing off in time reduces the DC by 1.) After their effects end, your must succeed vs the DC again; If you fail, you gain a level of exhaustion. You can only be affected by one elixir at a time, but always brew enough to have one ready to go. No other character can safely quaff these elixirs, since the recipe is still experimental. If you are highly stressed, reduced to 1/4 HP, or under the effects of a full moon, etc, you must save against the addiction DC or else be immediately affected by _The Rage_. If you drink a normal healing potion or gain temporary HP (not from an elixir) at maximum HP, the addiction DC is reduced by 1. #### The Doctor You gain _2 * (PB + INT + WIS)_ temporary HP, then gain _2 * PB_ to intelligence, wisdom and charisma, and lose _PB / 2_ from strength, dexterity and constitution. (Your maximums increase by the same amount.) This elixir's effects last for ten hours, and you may attempt to end its effects early every twenty minutes. #### The Mister You gain _PB * (CON + HD)_ temporary HP, then gain _2 * PB_ to strength, dexterity and constitution, and lose _PB / 2_ from intelligence, wisdom and charisma. (Your maximums increase by the same amount.) You regain _PB * (CON + HD)_ HP per turn. This elixir's effects last for thirty minutes, and you may attempt to end its effects early once per minute. \columnbreak #### The Rage <div style="display:flex; justify-content:start; align-items:center"> <div style="width:40px"> </div> <img src='https://i.ibb.co/cLdM0fg/rage.png' height=240> </div> <br> This effect is as _The Mister_, but only lasts ten minutes, can't be voluntarily ended early, and has additional effects. You deal an additional _PB_ damage in melee, and your attacks count as magical and silvered for overcoming resistances. You gain 10 feet of movement speed, but may not use ranged combat or cast spells, and you lose concentration on existing spells. Every round you must attack, and move closer if none are in range. If you end your turn without attacking, you smash nearby objects, the ground or yourself, and take _PB + STR_ damage. If you reach 1/3 HP, you fall unconscious, gain a level of exhaustion, and the addiction DC increases by 1. #### The Bones _(Prerequisite: level 18)_ You've ingested so many of these elixirs in your experiments that they've absorbed into your _very bones_, giving your bones supernatural abilities. Once per day, you can feel the weather changing - re-roll any die for yourself, friend or foe, and choose the result. You can heal from any disease in 1d20 days, and be cured of any curse in 3d20 days. You can even regrow lost parts, much as a lizard - hands or feet in 1d6 days, arms or legs in 1d10 days, your head or body below your head in 1d20 days, or regrow yourself from a sliver of bone in 2d20 days! ## Alchemy Overview #### How many? How big? Every long rest, you may spend alchemy-points to brew potions, grenades or elixirs. (You must be able to afford them in a single expenditure.) Your points total is your INT plus (or minus) AP bonus (or penalty) at that level.

If you fail, you splash yourself and are effected or it explodes. #### Volatile Brews Your concoctions are inherently unstable. Roll the given die per potion at the end of the day - on a one it explodes, and on a two it simply turns to sludge.

It however is much lighter - one vial contains enough for twenty hours of light! #### Glitter-Dust Grendade This small card-board tube is a pyrotechnic grenade. When thrown to a point up to 60 feet away, it explodes in a 15-foot radius, covering everything in faintly glowing, glittering dust. Everything inside is affected as per the [faerie fire](https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/faerie-fire) spell - they can't be invisible, etc. It also reveals trip-wires, pressure-plates, etc as per the [find traps](https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/find-traps) spell. ###### Grenade (Alchemical Damage) A one-pound flask of sticky chemicals, which can be thrown up to 30 feet. Any creature in a 15-foot circle is damaged each turn until it makes a dexterity check of 10. Roll between acid, cold and fire damage when crafting. Acid gives advantage to attacks against them, cold slows by 5 feet, and fire gives them disadvantage to hit for the duration. If you drop it when crafting, it deals one round of damage to you. Instead of throwing it as a grenade, you may use this substance to coat ten daggers, darts or hand-crossbow bolts; four arrows or light crossbow bolts, three heavy crossbow bolts, or one arbalest missile. Those munitions do their normal damage again as the elemental type, but have no lasting effect. ###### Jumping, Potion of Your [jumping distance is tripled](https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/jump) for a minute. ###### Rot, Powders of Protection from A corpse, meat, etc is protected from [rot](https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/gentle-repose) for ten days. #### Tricky ###### Dark-Vision, Potion of You gain [darkvision](https://www.dndbeyond.com/compendium/rules/basic-rules/monsters#Darkvision) to 120 feet for 10 minutes. ###### Grenade (Alchemical Damage, Greater) This stronger grenade deals 2d4 damage. \pagebreak ###### Grenade, Shock and Awe This bomb affects creatures within a radius of 20 feet, knocking them [unconscious](https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/appendix-a-conditions#Unconscious) for 10 rounds, or [blinding](https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/appendix-a-conditions#Blinded) and [deafening](https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/appendix-a-conditions#Deafened) them for 1.
