Alchemist, The – A Martial Blasting Class of Potent Concoctions (POD, Black & White) – RPGs – Indestructoboy Designs from Indestructoboy Designs

Description

This guide for the new alchemist class grants you features intended for a particular playstyle. The alchemist is a low defense, high damage and utility martial blaster. It’s highly recommended that, in combat, you stay a safe distance away from the enemies to use your alchemical items on them, as far back as is safe.

The chemical creations of an alchemist can often blur the line between the natural and supernatural. Considering spells often draw on power through material components, it’s entirely reasonable to believe an alchemist exists somewhere in this blur, but unless the creation specifically makes mention of a spell, the item and its effects are not themselves magical. Alchemists are a great fit for low-magic campaigns, where spellcasting may be extremely rare for the standard adventurer.
