True alchemists work on their seemingly endless experiments
to perfect their formulas as they need to be exact on their
measurements and methods to craft their concoctions. They
learn new formulas as they experiment and gain experience.
They can also learn new formulas from other alchemists, from
notes about alchemical research, or by studying a formula in

or poisons. While they may not be adept alchemists,
they use these arts to achieve greater expertise in their
crafts. Some weaponize these crafts, while others focus

on the philosophical or astrological aspects to achieve
divine clarity. Of course, any adventurer can be an adept
alchemist using Alchemist’s Supplies (detailed further in True Alchemist

The Alchemical Method
True alchemists spend most of their time studying the laws of
nature. They can be anywhere and experiment with anything.
To question everything is their method of advancing their
crafts. A true alchemist may be found in a library, reading
ancient tombs, or another may be seen with an adventuring
party, searching for rare alchemical components.
Most of the true alchemists eventually choose to travel with
a group to search for something. True alchemy is a tool for
some to achieve their goals, while for others, it might be a
goal of understanding self through understanding the essence
of creation. In both and almost every other situation, true
alchemists have lots of reasons to adventure.
Creating a True Alchemist
Your character must acquire a Philosopher’s Stone Shard to
become a true alchemist. How did your character obtain this
shard? Did you craft it through alchemy or find it? What was
the reason for your character to be drawn into the world of
alchemy? Did you want to use it to become more powerful,
to achieve your ambitions, or to sate your curiosity? Did
you learn true alchemy from a teacher or teach yourself?
Why did you choose to adventure? Did you hear of ancient
formulas lying in a tomb, or maybe read some books about
e
rare substances and want to gather them? Perhaps an adept
alchemist from across the land is looking for a new student to
teach him everything about true alchemy, or maybe you just
want to test your poisons on some creatures.

Quick Build
You can make a true alchemist quickly by following these
suggestions. First, Intelligence should be your highest ability
score, followed by Dexterity or Constitution. Second, choose
the experimentalist background. Third, choose the following
concoctions for your formula book: igneous potential, minor
acidic transformation, and minor clarity.

• a light crossbow and 20 bolts
• (a) 3 uncommon alchemical substances or (b) a rare
alchemical substance
• (a) a scholar’s pack or (b) an explorer’s pack
• Alchemist’s Supplies
• a soul shard and a formula Book
Crafting Concoctions
As you follow the alchemical methods to further your research,
you learn to craft concoctions. You have a formula book
containing formulas. Having the book makes it easier to craft
concoctions that you recorded, but it is not necessary.
You can create your concoctions during your long rest as
light activity.
Soul Shard
At 1st level, you have obtained a shard of the legendary
Philosopher’s Stone. This stone functions as a catalyst for all
of your alchemical procedures. This shard has no magical
properties. It aids you in bending the universal laws in your
favor to achieve greater results through alchemy. At higher
levels, you learn how to use your shard more effectively in
alchemical procedures enabling you to craft higher-level
concoctions. If you lose your soul shard, you can craft a new
one by spending 50 gp worth of material. You can bind a newly
crafted soul shard as a part of a long rest. You can only have
one shard bound to you.
25
Formula Book
At 1st level, you have a formula book containing three 1st
level concoctions of your choice. You know how to craft those
three concoctions. Your formula book is not magical; it is an
ordinary book. You don’t need your formula book to craft
concoctions, but not using the formula book decreases your
concoction save DC by 1.
Your Formula Book
As you learn new concoctions, you can record detailed instructions
of crafting methods in your formula book. You might find new
concoction formulas during your adventures. For example, you
could discover a dusty formula book that belonged to an ancient
true alchemist.
Using the Formula Book. You don’t need to record your
concoctions in your formula book to learn the formula. You can
craft your concoctions without consulting your formula book, but
doing so decreases your concoction save DC by 1.
Toxicity
When a creature consumes an alchemical concoction,
toxicity rises within the creature, causing harm due to the
accumulation of toxic substances. When toxic substances
e
accumulate in a creature’s body, it hinders the creature’s
abilities, whereas continuous exposure may lead to death.
Whenever a creature consumes a liquid or gel concoction,
the toxicity accumulates. True alchemists can resist up to three
pl
concoctions before toxicity starts to show harmful effects,
while other creatures can only withstand one concoction
before the accumulation. Toxicity resets after a long rest or
reduces by one step after a short rest.
A creature can make a successful DC 10 Constitution saving
throw to vomit a liquid concoction or a successful DC 10
Dexterity saving throw to wipe away a gel concoction as a part
of their movement. Toxicity is not a weapon that can be used
m
on other creatures; it’s a side effect.
Adepts of alchemy may surpass the mortal limit, such as
those who focus on the Paradigm of Body.

Preparing Concoctions
The True Alchemist table shows how many shard essences you
have to craft your concoctions. To craft concoctions, choose a
number of concoctions that you know. The sum of the shard
essence requirements of the concoctions you choose to craft
can’t exceed your shard essences.
You can prepare your concoctions all at once while drawing
the shard essence, regardless of their creation times. The level
of the concoctions that you choose to craft can’t be higher than
the concoction level shown in the True Alchemist Table. It
e
takes 1 hour to extract shard essences and craft concoctions.
You regain all of your expanded shard essences at the end of a
long rest. If you choose to create concoctions after you extract
shard essences, you can spend any unused shard essences to
craft a concoction based on their creation times, as shown in
fil
Chapter 4.
For example, if you are a 4th-level true alchemist, you have
9 available shard essences, and you can craft no higher than
a 2nd level concoction. If you craft a 1st-level concoction, (3
shard essences), a 1st-level concoction (2 shard essences), and
a 2nd-level concoction (4 shard essences), you expend all of
your available shard essences (9 total). But, if you craft only
a 2nd-level concoction (5 shard essences), there are 4 shard
essences are leftover. Because you have already extracted these
shard essences, any new concoctions being crafted require
spending time equal to their creation time. You need to have
access to your soul shard and Alchemist’s Supplies or some
equivalent tools(with your GM’s approval) to craft concoctions,
if not stated otherwise.
CONCOCTION CRAFTING ABILITY
Intelligence is your crafting ability for your true alchemist
concoctions since you learn your concoctions through
methodical study and experimentation. In addition, you use
your Intelligence modifier when setting the concoction save
DC for a true alchemist. You use your Dexterity modifier when
making an attack roll with your concoctions.
Concoction save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier.
Concoction attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Dexterity modifier.
Concoction States and Storage
Most concoctions can be crafted into six different states. When
crafting, you must select the final state of the concoctions at
the time of creation.
Crystal. No special container is necessary for this version of
a concoction.
Oil. A glass bottle is needed to contain the concoction.
Gel. A glass bottle is needed to contain the concoction.
Liquid. A sealed glass bottle is needed to contain the
concoction. A simple glass bottle with a lid is sufficient.
Gas. A pressure-sealed glass bottle is needed to contain the
concoction. Gas concoctions, which are released out of their
container by opening or breaking the container, immediately
turn into a gas.
Dust. A silk pouch is needed to contain the concoction.
LEARNING CONCOCTIONS
You learn a concoction of your choice when you reach 3rd level
in true alchemist class and every two levels after that. You add
new concoctions to your formula book. This concoction must
be of a level that you can craft. You can learn more formulas
on your adventures by experimenting and adding them to your
formula book (see the “Your formula Book” sidebar). You can
also copy other concoction formulas from other formula books
by paying the material cost. You need to spend 50 gp worth of
materials per concoction level to experiment on the formula
Alchemical Crasis
Crasis is the essence of all things. As an alchemist creates
concoctions using a soul shard, they gain the ability to
manipulate the very essence of a substance, achieving
magnificent effects in less time. While all true alchemists can
manipulate and create all alchemical concoctions, certain
crasis requires additional mastery to operate; thus, alchemists
with mastery over certain crasis can achieve greater results.
When you choose a paradigm at 3rd level, you also gain
mastery over a crasis depending on your paradigm. When you

When you reach 3rd level, you choose an alchemical paradigm
that imbues your alchemical crafts and experiments. Your
choice grants you class features at 3rd level and again at 6th,
10th, 14th, and 18th level.

27
Arcane Brew
Starting at 9th level, you can spend an action concentrating
on your soul shard to shield you against magic. As long as you
maintain your concentration, you resist the next targeted spell
with advantage. While you are concentrating on this action,
you cannot use concoctions or make an attack. Once you use
this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
When you successfully defend against a spell, your soul
shard stores the spell magic within. Afterward, you can use
the stored energy to create a potion that mimics the spell’s
effect. To craft the potion, an alchemist must pay half the
scroll cost to prepare the potion. Then, the alchemist must
make a successful Intelligence check against the spell save DC
of the original spell as a part of a long rest. If the alchemist
is successful in this check, a potion with the spell’s effect is
brewed. If the alchemist doesn’t prepare the potion or fails to
prepare the potion, the spell magic is lost. A soul shard cannot
hold more than a single spell.
This ability does not work on spells of 7th level or higher.
Reduced Toxicity
At 11th level, you learn to improve your potions to reduce
their harmful effects. When a creature other than you
consumes your potions, you can create harmful or innocuous
e
potions while creating your concoctions. Harmful potions
start accumulating toxicity in the first potion, while
innocuous potions accumulate toxicity beginning at the third
consumption.
pl
Instant Transformation
Beginning at 13th level, you can change the state of a
concoction to any other state available for that concoction. To
do so, you must work on your concoction for 1 minute and
must have access to your soul shard and Alchemist’s Supplies.
Alchemical Resistance
m
Starting at 15th level, due to years of experimentation and
exposing yourself to acidic substances, you are less affected by
acidic substances. You gain resistance to acid damage.
Spontaneous Alchemy
At 17th level, you learn how to quickly create low-level
Sa
concoctions when you have leftover shard essences. You can
create level 1 concoctions with a preparation time of less than 1
minute as a bonus action, paying the usual shard essence cost.
Magnum Opus
At 20th level, you finally possess sufficient knowledge to craft
your own Magnum Opus. Magnum Opus can be anything
from a mystical book of knowledge to the replica of the
Philosopher’s Stone. To craft the Magnum Opus, you need
40,000 gp worth of alchemical substances, access to a well-
equipped alchemy workshop, and your soul shard. It is a
month-long process, which mustn’t be interrupted. Only
the true alchemist that crafted the Magnum Opus can use it
properly. If a true alchemist tries to craft a second Magnum
Opus, the first Magnum Opus will lose its properties and
28
become a mundane object. A true alchemist creates only
one effect for their Magnum Opus. The created Magnum
Opus cannot be changed afterward. If the Magnum Opus
is destroyed, a replica can be created by paying the material
cost, but it must be identical to the original. You can use
the Magnum Opus as an action. Once used, its effects are
permanent. The target creature must be willing if not stated
otherwise. The true alchemist must choose one of the
following effects while applying the Magnum Opus. Players are
encouraged to design their own Magnum Opus at the GM’s
discretion, as Magnum Opus is the life’s work of an alchemist.
e
Child of Wisdom. You can create the Magnum Opus as
a book of knowledge to broaden your understanding of the
multiverse. Doing so increases your Intelligence by 2, to a
maximum of 30. You can take a series of epic quests to search
fil
for the Philosopher’s Stone with your GM’s approval.
Epic Advancement. The creature gains an epic feature.
Decide with your GM what can be considered an epic
advancement for the creature.
Eternal Burden. You can bind two creatures. To do so,
choose two creatures that are within 60 feet of you and use the
replica. One of the creatures must be willing; the other creature
doesn’t. The willing creature must make a Wisdom check
contested by the other creature’s Wisdom check. If the willing
creature wins the contest, the creatures are bound to each
other. The replica will not be consumed during this process.
Instead, one of the bound creatures must carry it. If the replica
stays more than 1 mile away from the creature for more than a
week, the bind fades, and the replica will dissolve. Any of those
creatures can not die while their bonded partner is still alive.
If slain, the creature is restored to life after a week with all its
hit points. The creature appears in an unoccupied space within
10 feet of the replica. The creature’s soul must be free to come
back to life, but it doesn’t need to be willing. If both bound
creatures die simultaneously, the bind fades, and the replica
will dissolve. A dissolved replica is considered to be consumed.
Immortality. You stop aging and can not die of old age.
Invulnerability. You gain resistance to three types of energy
damage of your choice, or bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing
damage from nonmagical weapons.
Philosopher’s Lance. You can create a mystical weapon that is
bound to your soul shard. The weapon is a +3 magical weapon
that can take the shape of any weapon of your choice, and
you are proficient with this weapon. The weapon has a flight
speed of 60 feet and can be commanded mentally for a melee
attack with a reach of 30 feet. This requires concentration.
When you attack with a Philosopher’s Lance, you can use your
Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the
attack and damage rolls. As an action, you can store an oil
concoction within the weapon and use the concoction as a part
of an attack action. You can concentrate on your weapon to
move it with its flying speed and can see and hear through the
weapon as long as you remain concentrated.
True Alchemist Archetypes
Due to the vastness of their study, True Alchemists prefer
to specialize in different approaches to their art. Some are
interested in the effects alchemy has on living subjects, and
others strive to broaden their mind, finding more applications
for their work... While some of them just want to blow stuff up.
Paradigm of Body
The Paradigm of Body suggests that all things that exist are
Crystal Concoction Attunement
Starting at 14th level, you can choose to attune with your
concoction in a crystal state. You need to declare that you
want to attune to the concoction while you are crafting it.
Once crafted, you become attuned to it. This attunement
is alchemical, and it does not count as one of your magical
attunements. While attuned to a crystal concoction, you gain
its effects as you apply it to yourself, and the concoction no
longer decays over time. Your attunement to a concoction ends
if the concoction has been more than 100 feet away for at least

made of diminutive particles of the same essential material.
The difference between the properties of bigger materials is
caused by the structural difference of the cluster of essential
materials. Its common ground with other theories is the
material essential particle.
e
24 hours, if you die, or if another creature uses the concoction.
A creature can also voluntarily end attunement by spending
a short rest focused on the item. You can only attune to 1
alchemical concoction at a time.

The practitioners of the Paradigm of Body seek to create the
Philosopher’s Stone by acquiring a significant amount of pure
essential material and structure it perfectly. They use methods
to advance the physical properties of simple materials,
complicated items, and even themselves.
