The Alchemist 1
 Your catalyst is a physical object and so can be destroyed, but
only by an attack that hits it; it ignores all other damage and
effects. It has an AC of 10 and a number of hit points equal to
your alchemist level. If your catalyst is lost or destroyed, you
can create a new one by spending 8 hours working with
various alchemical substances and expending 100 gp worth of
raw materials. Once created, your catalyst draws its power
from you, so you cannot have more than one catalyst at a time.
To brew a potion of 1st-potency or higher, you must expend
one use of your catalyst. Your catalyst regains its outer shell
and all of its uses when you finish a short or long rest.
BREWING POTIONS AND POTENCY
Each potion that you brew requires you to work with your
alchemist's supplies and various ingredients for 1 minute, at
the end of which time the potion is brewed into an empty vial.
If the potion is of 1st-potency or higher, you must have your
recipe book with you and expend a use of your catalyst to
brew the potion. A potion of 1st-potency or higher becomes
inert when you finish a short or long rest, while your tinctures
remain potent until you finish a long rest.
Each potion you make of 1st-potency and higher is brewed
at your maximum potency, as shown in the Potion Potency
column of the Alchemist table. To determine the effects of a
potion that mimics the effects of a spell, the spell's level is
considered to be equal to the potion's potency.
For example, if you are a 3rd-level alchemist, your potion
potency is 2nd potency. If you brew a potion of cure wounds, a
creature that drinks the potion would gain the benefit of the
spell as though it were cast at 2nd level.
If a potion mimics the effects of a spell that would require
you to make a choice (such as the sound or image generated
by the minor illusion spell), you make that choice when you
brew the potion.
If a potion mimics the effects of a spell that can target
multiple creatures (such as the scorching ray spell), you brew
a separate potion for each creature that spell can target. Each
of the potions you brew targets one creature.
If a potion mimics the effects of a spell that has a cost
indicated for a component which is consumed by the spell
(such as the revivify spell), you must add the component to the
potion when you brew it. If the potion becomes inert before
being used, the component reappears next to the potion, its
magic not having been spent.
USING POTIONS
A potion is a vial (usually made of glass) which contains
powerful magic. A creature holding one of your potions can
use an action to throw the vial, to drink the potion, or to pour
the contents of the potion into a willing creature's mouth.
If a potion is thrown, it acts as an improvised weapon. A
creature hit with a thrown potion becomes the target or the
point of origin of its effect. If you throw a potion, you can make
a potion attack instead of an improvised weapon attack. A
creature can use its reaction to allow itself to be hit by a
thrown potion that targeted it but would otherwise miss.
If a potion is drunk by a creature, that creature becomes the
target or the point of origin of the potion's effect.
You know if one of your potions is used so long as you are
on the same plane of existence. If the potion requires
concentration, you must maintain concentration on it.
2 The Alchemist
POTION ABILITY
Intelligence is your potion ability for your alchemist potions.
The power of your potions comes from learned study and
carefully following recipes. You use your Intelligence
whenever a potion refers to your potion ability. In addition,
you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving
throw DC for a potion you brew and when making an attack
roll with one.
Potion save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Intelligence modifier
Potion attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +
your Intelligence modifier
RITUAL POTIONS
You can brew a potion that mimics the effects of a spell that
has the ritual tag by spending 10 minutes to create it, so long
as the potion's recipe is in your recipe book. This does not
require a use of your catalyst.
LEARNING RECIPES OF 1ST POTENCY AND HIGHER
Each time you gain an alchemist level, you can add two
recipes of your choice to your recipe book for free. Each of
these recipes must be of a potency which you can brew, as
shown in the Potion Potency column of the Alchemist table.
On your adventures, you might find other recipes that you can
add to your recipe book.
Your Recipe Book
The recipes that you add to your recipe book as you gain
levels reflect the study and research you conduct in
brewing potions on your own. You might find other
recipes during your adventures—such as in an evil
alchemist's personal journals.
Finding Recipes. For the purposes of brewing
potions, written knowledge about spells (such as spell
scrolls or a wizard's spellbook) can be used to record a
recipe of that spell into your recipe book if that spell is on
the alchemist recipe list. You can discern from the
instructions of how to cast the spell what ingredients
would be necessary to brew a potion that mimics its
effects.
Copying a Recipe into the Book. When you find a
recipe of 1st-potency or higher, you can add it to your
recipe book if it is of a potency which you can brew and if
you can spare the time to understand and copy it.
Copying a recipe into your recipe book involves
experimentation with ingredients in order to understand
what quantities are needed for brewing, and deciphering
the unique notation used by the author who wrote it. You
must practice brewing the potion until you understand
the exact quantities of ingredients needed to create it,
then transcribe the process into your recipe book using
your own notation.
For each potency of the recipe, the process takes 2
hours and costs 50 gp. The cost represents material
components you expend as you experiment with the
potion. Once you have spent this time and money, you
can brew the potion just like your other potions.
 Replacing the Book. You can copy a recipe from your
own recipe book into another book—for example, if you
want to make a backup copy of your recipe book. This is
just like copying a new recipe into your book, but faster
and easier, since you understand your own notation and
already know how to brew the potion. You need spend
only 1 hour and 10 gp for each potency of the copied
recipe.
If you lose your recipe book, you can use the same
procedure to transcribe any recipes that you have brewed
within the last 24 hours into a new recipe book. Filling
out the remainder of your recipe book requires you to
find new recipes to do so, as normal. For this reason,
many alchemists keep a backup recipe book in a safe
space.
The Book's Appearance. Your recipe book is a unique
collection of notes and knowledge written in your hand. It
might be plain and functional, appearing as a simple
leather-bound tome, or it could be finely-bound and
ornate, filled with drawings of ingredients and quotes by
people who have used them.
POTION EXPERTISE
At 1st level, your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability
check you make that uses your alchemist's supplies.
ADMIXTURES
At 2nd level you learn two admixtures, special powers granted
to your potions by infusing them with a measure of your own
innate magical ability. Your admixture options are detailed at
the end of the class description. When you gain certain
alchemist levels, you gain additional admixtures of your
choice, as shown in the Admixtures Known column of the
Alchemist table.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can
choose one of the admixtures you know and replace it with
another admixture.
When you brew a potion, you can choose it infuse it with an
admixture that you know. A potion can only be infused with a
single admixture. The number of admixtures you can infuse
into your potions each day is equal to 1 + your Intelligence
modifier (a minimum of one admixture). You regain expended
uses when you finish a long rest.
ALCHEMICAL CORPUS
When you reach 3rd level, you choose a corpus to which you
dedicate yourself. An alchemical corpus is a collection of
alchemists who pursue a common goal in alchemy, and share
secrets with one another. Choose one of the following
corpora: Blast, Faunic, Mutation, Nightshade, Phantom, or
Slime; all of which are detailed at the end of the admixture
descriptions. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and
again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.
The Alchemist
CORPUS RECIPES
Each corpus has a list of recipes—corpus recipes—that can be
added to your recipe book for free at the alchemist levels
noted in the corpus description. These recipes count as
alchemist recipes for you, and do not count against the
number of recipes you normally learn when you gain a level in
this class. If your recipe book is ever lost or destroyed, you can
always add these recipes to a new recipe book for free.
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.
MAGNUM OPUS
At 11th level, you can use just a bit of your innate magic to
create potions of incredible power. Choose one 6th-potency
recipe from the alchemist recipe list as this magnum opus.
You can brew your magnum opus once without expending a
use of your catalyst. You must finish a long rest before you can
do so again. This potion does not become inert until you finish
a long rest.
At higher levels, you can brew higher-potency potions in this
way: one 7th-potency potion at 13th level, one 8th-potency
potion at 15th level, and one 9th-potency potion at 17th level.
You regain all uses of your Magnum Opus when you finish a
long rest.
SIGNATURE RECIPES
At 18th level, you have achieved mastery over certain recipes.
Choose a 1st-potency recipe and a 2nd-potency recipe that are
in your recipe book. You can brew these potions at their
lowest potency without expending a use of your catalyst. If you
want to brew these potions at your normal potency, you must
expend a use of your catalyst as normal.
By spending 8 hours in study, you can exchange one or both
of the recipes you chose for different recipes of the same
potency.
PHILOSOPHER'S STONE
At 20th level, you have gained the ability to transform your
catalyst into a true philosopher's stone. Your philosopher's
stone can be used to create one of the following effects
without expending a use of it. Once you create one of these
effects, you must finish a long rest before you can can create
any of these effects again.
You can spend 10 minutes working with nonmagical
material which fits inside of a 5-foot cube. At the end of
this time, the material is transformed into a different
nonmagical material in the same size and mass.
Alternately, you can dissolve the material so that it liquifies
and disappears.
3
 You can spend 10 minutes with your alchemist's supplies
and your philosopher's stone to brew an elixir of life
potion. A creature that drinks this elixir does not age for
the next 10 years, and can't be magically aged for the next
8 hours. The elixir loses its power when you finish a long
rest.
You can use an action to target a willing creature within
reach, which is cured of all curses, poisons, and diseases,
and regains all of its hit points.
Admixtures
Each admixture begins with its name and lists the type of
potion that the admixture can be mixed into, followed by a
description of the admixture's effects.
Admixtures are given in alphabetical order.
ACIDIC
Prerequisite: A potion that deals damage
You can choose for the damage this potion deals to become
acid damage, and a creature which takes acid damage from
this potion takes an additional 1d10 acid damage at the end of
its next turn.
BURNING
Prerequisite: A potion that deals damage
You choose for the damage this potion deals to become fire
damage. A creature which has resistance to fire damage takes
full fire damage from this potion, and a creature which has
immunity to fire damage takes half fire damage from this
potion.
DISTANT
Prerequisite: Any potion
The range at which this potion can be thrown is doubled.
EXPLOSIVE
Prerequisite: A potion that affects an area
The area of the potion's effect increases by 10 feet.
FREEZING
Prerequisite: A potion that deals damage
You choose for the damage this potion deals to become cold
damage, and a creature which takes cold damage from this
potion has its speed reduced by 10 feet until the end of your
next turn.
HAULTED
Prerequisite: Any potion
While you are within 60 feet of this potion, you can use an
action to cause it to burst as though it had been thrown.
HOMING
Prerequisite: Any potion
You can throw this potion at any space within range so long as
there is a clear path to the space, even if that path is not a
straight line. This allows the potion to move around corners.
4 The Alchemist
LULLING
Prerequisite: A potion with a duration of 1 minute or longer
While this potion affects you, you can use a bonus action to
halt the effects of the potion. The potion is no longer active on
you, and any duration remaining on the potion is suspended.
At any time while the potion is halted, you can use an action to
resume the potion's effect, where it plays out its remaining
duration. The potion can be suspended for a maximum of 1
hour total (even if you suspend it multiple times), after which it
resumes the remainder of its duration normally.
POWERFUL
Prerequisite: A potion that deals damage or restores hit
points
When you roll dice for the potion, you can reroll a number of
the dice up to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of one
die). You must use the new rolls.
PRECISE
Prerequisite: A potion that forces a target to make a saving
throw
You can choose a number of creatures affected by this potion
up to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of one creature).
A chosen creature automatically succeeds on its saving throw
against the potion.
SEIGE
Prerequisite: A potion that deals damage
This potion deals double damage to objects and structures.
SHOCKING
Prerequisite: A potion that deals damage
You can choose for the damage this potion deals to become
lightning damage. You can choose one creature which takes

your next turn.
THUNDERING
Prerequisite: A potion that deals damage
You can choose for the damage this bomb deals to become
thunder damage, and a creature which takes thunder damage
from this bomb is deafened until the end of your next turn.
Alchemical Corpus
The study of alchemy is ancient, and yet ongoing. Alchemical
mysteries have been studied as far back as records have been
kept. Over time, groups of alchemists working on similar
projects banded together, forming corpora. These corpora
represent research into specific areas of alchemy. Corpora are
generally forthcoming to alchemists in their corpus, sharing
discoveries with one another.
Some alchemists work in colleges and academia, banding
together in close proximity with other alchemists so that
discoveries can be shared more quickly. Others work alone,
but send letters or publish books to let others know of their
research. Some prefer to work in the field, looking for new
ingredients to try in their recipes, trying to become the
discoverer for the next big breakthrough of their time.
BLAST CORPUS
The corpus of blasters focuses their study on those potions
which cause explosive effects. Blasters have a not-entirely-
undeserved reputation for being reckless and foolish in their
brewing, but the truth is that due to their volatility, blasting
potions require more care and finesse than other types of
potions.

BOMB DOCENT
When you join this corpus at 3rd level, you gain an affinity
with potions that cause explosive effects. You can use an
action to create one potion from the blast corpus recipe list
that is in your recipe book without the use of your alchemist's
supplies (you must expend a use of your catalyst as normal).
Once you have used this feature, you must finish a short or
long rest before you can use it again.
EXPLOSIVE EXPERT
Starting at 6th level, when you create a potion from the blast
corpus recipe list, you can expend one use of your admixture
feature to grant the potion the effects of two different
admixtures instead of one.
EVASION
Beginning at 10th level, you are able to nimbly dodge out of
the way of harmful explosions. When you are subjected to an
effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take
only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed
on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
CLUSTER BOMB
Starting at 14th level, when you use your action to throw a
potion, you can use a bonus action to throw a tincture.
FAUNIC CORPUS
Faunists are alchemists who have studied a special kind of
alchemical magic that traps a creature in a vial, ready to be
summoned at a moment's notice. These alchemists often
experiment and learn with small creatures, but as they gain
power, they learn to trap larger and more powerful beasts.

BONUS RECIPE
When you join this corpus at 3rd level, the speak with animals
recipe is added to your recipe book for free.
POCKET MONSTER
Also at 3rd level, you learn the recipe for a special potion
called the monster vial. The recipe for this potion remains
fixed in your mind; you do not need to put it in your recipe
book to brew it. You do not need to expend a use of your
catalyst to create this potion.
The monster vial can only target a beast with a challenge
rating equal to your alchemist level divided by three (rounded
down) or less. When you target such a beast, it must make a
Constitution saving throw. The creature can choose to fail the
saving throw if it is friendly toward you, but it automatically
succeeds if it is bonded with another creature (such as being a
beloved pet, having offspring to take care of, or other, similar
situations). On a successful saving throw, the potion is wasted.
On a failed save, the monster vial potion draws the creature—
now called a pocket monster—inside of the vial.
A pocket monster remains in its vial until a creature holding
the vial releases the monster as a bonus action into an
unoccupied space within 30 feet. The pocket monster can see
outside of the vial and is aware of its surroundings, but cannot
take any actions to escape, and no actions can affect it. While
in the vial, the creature does not need to eat, drink, or breathe.
A monster that spends 8 uninterrupted hours in its vial gains
the benefits of a long rest. Your monster is magically
transported back into its vial if you dismiss it as an action or
its hit points drop to 0 (the pocket monster is instantly
stabilized if it returns to its vial in this way). Alternately, you
can dismiss it forever.
Add your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of +1) to the
pocket monster's AC, attack rolls, and damage rolls, as well as
to any saving throws and skills it is proficient in. Its hit point
maximum equals its normal hit point maximum or four times
your alchemist level, whichever is higher.
Your pocket monster is friendly toward you and obeys your
commands as best it can, taking its turn on your initiative. On
your turn, you can verbally command your pocket monster
where to move (no action required by you). You can use your
action to verbally command it to take any action it could
normally take. If you do not command your pocket monster, it
takes the Dodge action.
You can have one pocket monster at a time. If you capture a
new monster, your previous monster is released.
5
 ELEMENTAL MONSTER
Beginning at 6th level, you can alter the physical form of a
pocket monster held in a monster vial, turning it into an
elemental creature. You can spend 1 minute with your
alchemist's supplies and a filled monster vial, and expend a
use of your catalyst to change the makeup of that creature into
an elemental form. The creature's type becomes elemental,
and it gains the following properties depending on the form
you choose:
Air. The pocket monster gains a flying speed of 30 feet. It
can enter a hostile creature's space and stop there, and can
move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without
squeezing. The monster can deal thunder damage with any of
its attacks instead of its normal damage.
In addition, you can use an action to cause the pocket
monster to cast the aerial uppercut  spell using your
statistics.
Earth. The pocket monster gains a burrow speed of 30 feet,
and can burrow through nonmagical, unworked earth and
stone. While doing so, the monster does not disturb the
material is moves through. The monster deals double damage
to objects and structures. The monster can deal acid damage
with any of its attacks instead of its normal damage.
In addition, you can use an action to cause the pocket
monster to cast the stoneguard  spell using your statistics.
Fire. The pocket monster can use an action to begin or
cease shedding bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light
for an additional 30 feet. A creature that touches the monster
or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it for the
first time on a turn takes 1d6 fire damage. The monster can
deal fire damage with any of its attacks instead of its normal
damage.
In addition, you can use an action to cause the pocket
monster to cast the fire bolt spell using your statistics.
Water. The pocket monster gains a swimming speed of 30
feet, and can breathe air and water. It can enter a hostile
creature's space and stop there, and can move through a
space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing. The
monster can deal cold damage with its attacks instead of its
normal damage.
In addition, you can use an action to cause the pocket
monster to cast the hydro blast  spell using your statistics.
HEART OF A MASTER
Starting at 10th level, whenever your pocket monster is out of
its vial and within 30 feet of you, you can use an action to
sacrifice your vitality to bolster its defenses. When you do so,
you can expend Hit Dice and roll them as though you had
finished a short rest, adding your Constitution modifier to
each Hit Die rolled as normal. However, instead of you
regaining hit points, your pocket monster gains a number of
temporary hit points equal to the amount you rolled.
TRUSTED BOND
Beginning at 14th level, whenever your pocket monster is out
of its vial and within 30 feet of you, you each have advantage
on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.

Also at 3rd level, you can use an action to apply a potion to a

weapon or that piece of ammunition within 1 minute, they are
also affected by the potion. A weapon or piece of ammunition
can only hold a coating of one potion at a time.
In addition, you gain proficiency with the blowgun and
poisoner's kit.
TOXIC SCRUTINY
Starting at 6th level, if you spend at least 1 minute observing
or interacting with another creature outside of combat, you
can learn information about its resistances or immunities.
The GM tells you if the creature has resistance or immunity to
acid or poison damage or immunity to the poisoned condition.

PHANTOM CORPUS
In contrast to its name, the Phantom Corpus of alchemists
seek to experiment on the barrier between life and death.
These alchemists typically research ways to extend a
creature's life, as well as call back the souls of those who have
passed on.

spellcasting ability for this spell. When you cast the spell, you
can choose one of the normal forms for your familiar or one of
the following special forms: homunculus, skeleton, or zombie.
You can also choose for your familiar to be undead. Unlike a
normal familiar, your familiar takes its turn on your initiative,
and it can take the Attack action.

Beginning at 6th level, you can brew a potion that mimics the
effects of the animate dead spell without expending a use of
your catalyst. Once you brew this potion, you must finish a
long rest before you can brew another.

ETERNAL MYSTERY
Starting at 10th level, any undead under your control have
their maximum hit points raised by an amount equal to your
alchemist level. Additionally, once on each of its turns when it
hits with an attack, such a creature can deal extra necrotic
damage equal to your Intelligence modifier.
UNDEAD PALOR
Beginning at 14th level, you no longer need to eat, drink,
sleep, or breathe, and you are immune to disease and poison.
In addition, you have resistance to necrotic damage, and
magic can't reduce your maximum hit points or your ability
scores.
SLIME CORPUS
The corpus of alchemists who study oozes may be the most
misunderstood. Oozes are unlike any other creatures that
exist; sentient slimes that seem to have a life cycle and feed,
and yet lack many of the properties one would normally
attribute to a creature being truly alive. Slimers seek to
understand these creatures and harness their power.

OOZE CRAFTER
When you join this corpus at 3rd level, you learn the recipe for
a special potion—called a slime vial—that creates a small
oozeling under your control. The recipe for this potion
remains fixed in your mind; you do not need to put it in your
recipe book to brew it. You must expend a use of your catalyst
to create this potion. When you brew a slime vial, you can
grant the oozeling immunity to one of the following damage
types: cold, fire, lightning, or thunder.
When this potion is used, an oozeling appears in that space.
Add your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of +1) to the
oozeling's AC, attack rolls, and damage rolls, as well as to any
saving throws and skills it is proficient in. Its hit point
maximum equals its normal hit point maximum or five times
your maximum potion potency, whichever is higher.
Your oozelings are friendly toward you and obey your
commands, taking their turn on your initiative. On each of
your turns, you can choose where your oozeling will move (no
action required by you), and you can use an action to verbally
command any active oozelings under your control within 60
feet of you (if you control multiple oozelings, you can
command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the
same command to each one). You can command your
oozelings to take any action it could normally take. If you do
not issue a command, an oozeling does nothing.
An oozeling disappears if you dismiss it as an action, its hit
points drop to 0, or you finish a short or long rest.

On a successful save, the creature can choose to be

that chooses not to be pushed suffers the consequences of a

creature's space, and the creature takes 10 (3d6) acid
damage and is engulfed. The engulfed creature can't
breathe, is restrained, and takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at
the start of each of the oozeling's turns. When the oozeling
moves, the engulfed creature moves with it.
An engulfed creatuer can try to escape by taking an
action to make a Strength check (DC equal to your potion
save DC). On a success, the creature escapes and enters a
space of its choice within 5 feet of the oozeling.
ALTERED STATE
Beginning at 10th level, you can touch a creature with your
catalyst and expend a use of it to cast the polymorph spell on
that creature. On a failed save, the target is turned into an
oozeling. When you cast this spell, you can choose for the
target to be Large size or smaller and have maximum hit
points equal to five times your maximum potion potency, you
can grant the target immunity to cold, fire, lightning, or
thunder damage, and you can grant the target the Ooze Cube
trait and Engulf action.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
