Other Skills: Same as Clerics.

Maximum Level: 18th level.

Armour Allowed: Any; shields allowed. Armour and shields must be constructed from natural materials.

Weapons Allowed: Any one handed weapon (excluding magical swords).

Special Abilities:

Detect Poison: Allows the Alchemist to tell by explanation whether or not an item or creature is poisonous, or whether a character has been poisoned.
Neutralization Poison: This will eliminate the effects of poison up to twice the Alchemist’s own level. This may only be used once per character per time poisoned and will not revive a character killed by poison.
Neutralize Paralyzation: This cancels the effects of paralyzation caused by creatures up to twice the Alchemist’s level. It will not work against paralyzation caused by devices (wands, staves, swords, or spells).
Identify Potion: This allows the Alchemist to correctly identify a potion. If a Potion of Delusion is not identified, check again to see if it is identified incorrectly. This may also be used to test for acids or similar compounds.
At 1st level Alchemists have the following abilities: Read Languages (80% chance, one attempt per week per item); Ability to prepare poisons and drugs; and Ability to prepare a Potion of Delusion
At 3rd level Alchemists gain the ability to prepare potions and acids.
At 5th level Alchemists gain the ability to prepare Blade Venom
At 7th level Alchemists gain the ability to Read Magic (and hence Scrolls) as Thieves.
At 9th level Alchemists gain the ability to prepare potions from samples.

Alchemist Potions

Explanation of Special Abilities:

Poisons: Alchemists may brew potions of a strength level equal to their own experience levels. Each strength level costs 50GP and one day.

Drugs: As poisons, but double cost. Saving throw vs. Poison at -2. If failed, the victim is unconscious for 4 hours minimum. A successful constitution/resurrection throw is required to wake up (check each hour).

Potions: These require 200GP and 1 week per level to produce (see list). Research costs are the same as MUs for Spells, but having a sample allows 9th Level Alchemists to produce the potion even if the potion has not been developed. A sample allows an Alchemist able to research a potion add 40% to his chances of success. (Option: Raise production costs to 250GP and don’t allow MUs potion production)

Acids: These are produced by the gallon and do 1 six-sided die damage per level strength. These cost 100GP and 1 day per level strength. Maximum strength equals Alchemist level. From the 3rd level the Alchemist has a 15% chance of neutralizing half acid damage, providing the victim survives. This chance increases 5% for each additional level.
