T
he frizzy haired human dashes past the orc,
slapping him as she passes. Enraged, the orc
starts to give chase but stops when he realizes
that something was wrong. The slap was
hurting too much to be just a slap. That was
when he noticed that there was acid melting
his face off. It's cries of agony were echoed by
it's companions as the human heads back to town to pick up
more acid and collect the bounty.
Laughing maniacally to himself, the gnome threw the
vibrating vial over the rock into the hoard of goblins he knew
were on the other side. Soon enough, a large explosion shook
the ground as the vial exploded into a fireball. The little
gnome finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and his laughter
grew to math the sound of his explosives going of as he threw
them over the rock.
Throwing his cloak aside, the elf stood defiantly in the way
of the demon. The demon was confused, not because of the
elf in its way, but because the elf had four arms, a pair of
wings, and a scorpion tail. The demon double checked to see
whether its invisibility was somehow disabled, but it wasn't.
How was this elf seeing it. Humming to himself, the elf drank
a potion to make him faster, and charged the demon.
Alchemists are mad scientists, and though they aren't
usually insane, their actions might seem so to others.
Alchemists come in many different kinds, from scholars, to
warmongers, to apothecaries, but they all have one thing in
common, a desire to find out what happens when they
combine one thing with another.
The Magic of Fusion
Alchemists have discovered through experimentation that
when certain things are fused, interesting results occur. They
learn different recipes for making things explode, burn, heal,
and empower, as well as how to properly store them to keep
from bowing themselves up at every turn. More experienced
alchemists are capable of mixing their deadly chemicals
faster and faster, until it only takes them a few minutes to
create a batch of their concoctions.
This alone would not make people question their sanity,
but the vast majority of alchemists like to take it one step
farther. After fusing chemicals, the next step is fusing items.
More specifically fusing other creature's DNA with their own.
This is a taxing process, and an alchemist can only support a
certain amount of foreign DNA in their system, but powerful
alchemists can have as many as five of these so called
augmentations.
Driving Curiosity
Curiosity is a powerful motivator for alchemists, and they
hate being bored. It is this very curiosity that drives them to
clear out previously discovered recipes to discover new ones.
The loss of the knowledge doesn't matter to them because
they don't care about knowledge. What an alchemist cares
about is the path to find the knowledge, and that is where
their curiosity plays a big role. When there is a cave, a fighter
might wonder if there are dangerous creatures living in there,
a rogue might wonder if there are traps, and a wizard might
2

wonder if they have enough energy to deal with any magical
attacks. All of them would enter with a reasonable degree of
caution. An alchemist however, if left unchecked, will walk
straight into the cave just to see what would happen.
The Seven Founders
The science of potion making, as well as some fusion tactics
have existed for millennia, however it was seven individuals
who sheped the actual practice of alchemy. Each of the seven
developed a certain part of the alchemical practice, and
taught it to the others. Each of them kept the most potent
parts of their discoveries to themselves however, but they
passed them on to their successors, leading to the elemental
paths, or alchemical focuses.
Most alchemists can tell you that each of the elemental
paths follows the teachings of one of the seven founders by
using the power of the correlating metal. More well versed
scholars can tell you that the metal actually has no bearing on
the powers, and the only reason that they are considered
related is because of the founders fondnesses for said metals.
What people don't know is that each of the seven founders
was a metal-core photolith, who each had one of the
'fundamental metals' as their core.
Creating an Alchemist
When creating an alchemist character, think about your
character's introduction to alchemy. How did your character
come to learn alchemy? Did you act as aprentice to another
alchemist who taught you his way of alchemy? Did you study
at a school for alchemy, with different specialties taught as
different subjects? Or maybe you watched someone using
alchemy, and studied on your own to replicate what you saw?
Quick Build
You can make an alchemist quickly by following these
suggestions. First, put your highest ability score in
Intelligence, followed by Constitution or Dexterity. Second
choose the Guild Artisan background.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you may also replace
one of your augmentations with another one from the list.
Regardless of your total number of augmentations, your
DM has the final say as to whether or not two augmentations
are mutually exclusive. It is encouraged however, that rather
than disallow the combination that you work with your DM to
come up with a reason why you should have both
augmentations.

elements to emulate in your fusionary journey: Copper, Iron,

statistics in the Alchemical Homunculus stat block. You

vials or miniature cauldrons.

Mystical Concoctions
Concoctions are a staple of an alchemist's power set. The
concoction choices you may choose from are listed below in
alphabetical order. The action requirement of a concoction,
as well as its type (Explosive, Oil, Potion, or Salve) are listed
in the description of the concoction. You can't learn a
concoction more than once.

itself.

saving throw every other turn.

For
Reading
This class was inspired by multiple sources. The
alchemist specialty of the Eberron Artificer
inspired me to make this class in the first place
after I wanted more to an alchemist. The
subclasses were inspired in part by some of the
'mystical powers' of the seven planetary metals.
Other sources of inspirations came from other
various classes and subclasses.
