However, they still requre ingridients, alchemist supplies, and a catalyst. These elements can be swapped around in order to create custom grenades with specialised purpouses. Grenades differ from potions in their making by being made up of three main segments. Through alchemy, players are also able to make bombs with specialised peruses, ranging from explosives to grenades that splash potions in an area. Novice brews will still requre a container. This makes them a lot more simple but limited in use and less powerful. These potions still require ingredients and a brewing process but don't require a catalyst. Novice brews are an extremely simple potion/concoction that anyone can make without needing alchemist tools or proficiency in alchemy. The DC of this check is 10, and +1 for every level of the item's rarity (eg: +1 for common, +2 for uncommon, etc.) Alchemist Supplies Tier The process may also have a duration for how long a potion needs to brew, by the end of which the player must make an alchemy check (with advantage) of wisdom/intelligence bonus + proficiency bonus. Rarer potions cannot be brewed with lower tier supplies. Some items will require higher tier alchemist supplies depending on their rarity. There are three "tiers" of alchemist supplies. This process is most directly effected by the supplies you use. However, other potions might require you to get an ingredient struck with lightning or have it be heated up in a volcano. Most potions will require the alchemist to simply mist around the ingredients, heat/coll them, or distil them. Process refers to the making of an alchemical product. Catalysts also have a rarity, which must also match the rarity of the potion it is being used for. Meaning that it can be used reused by a player in the making of other potions. Catalysts are usually moreĮxpensive,however, they are not consumed in the making of a potion. While ingredients determine what potion you make,a catalyst determines how you use it. It can determine how long a potion may take effect for or how strong it may be, for a poison it can effect how deadly or subtle it is,or for soap it can determine how long it will smell nice for.
If a party cannot find them in the wild, they will have to purchase them through traders and find them through quests.Ī catalyst is used to determine the effectiveness and application of an alchemical product, much like an added benefit or bonus to the abilities of a potion. And each of these ingredients may also have a price attached to them. An ingredient can be as common as some grains of rice, or as rare as the heart of an ancient dragon. Different potions need different ingredients, and each of those ingredients must be gathered. Thus, ingredients must first be gathered for the process. Ingredients:Īs dictated by the laws of equivalent exchange, "To obtain, something of equal value must be lost". Each of these elements act much like requirements for certain potions and the such, and with different ingredients and catalysts you can make entirely different potions and alchemical products. The player must also have a set of alchemist supplies to be able to make their concoctions. A player can become proficient with these tools through several hours of training with an alchemist book. With alchemy, the material plane is your oyster.įor a character to be able to conduct alchemy, they must first be proficient in alchemist supplies. It can also be used to create magical oils for weapons, medicines, bombs, and even some household items. Alchemy however isn't only limited to making potions. An alchemist also need to first BE an alchemist and know their way around their supplies, they must be in possession of said supplies, and finally for most potions and the such you would need a recipe. However, these three things alone are not enough to make a potion or other materials. Using different combinations of these elements can yield different results but can end badly if not properly conducted. These three pillars are the ingredients, the catalyst, and the process of making or brewing the product. Alchemy is based around three main pillars that are necessary for the effective creation of an alchemical product. Through this process, an alchemist is able to use the resources of the material plane and magic of the weave to create potions, oils and other concoctions to aid themselves and their allies. Ingredients and specific processes must be performed to make something new. Any alchemist worth their salt should know alchemy's first rule of equivalent exchange.
