If an alchemist has the Fast bombs discovery, can he use Rapid Shot, Two-Weapon Fighting, Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, haste, and similar abilities and effects to add more attacks?Īs written, yes, all of these apply because fast bombs “functions just like a full-attack with a ranged weapon.”ĭoes the Accelerated Drinker feat allow a character to drink an alchemist extract as a move action?ĭoes the damage bonus from the Point Blank Shot feat apply to bombs?ĭoes an inferno bomb, poison bomb, smoke bomb, or stink bomb cause bomb damage in addition to the special effect listed for those discoveries? The design team may decide to close this loophole in the next printing of the Advanced Player’s Guide. If I make an extract of a multiple-choice spell (such as protection from energy), do I make that choice when I create the extract, or when I drink it?Ĭan I use the infusion discovery to create an infused extract of a personal-range formula (such as true strike), which someone else can drink?

These traits, while making him a liability and risk for most civilized organizations and institutions of higher learning, seem to fit quite well with most adventuring groups. Nor is it mollified by the alchemist’s almost gleeful passion for building explosive bombs and discovering strange new poisons and methods for their use. Role: The alchemist’s reputation is not softened by his exuberance (some would say dangerous recklessness) in perfecting his magical extracts and potion-like creations, infusing these substances with magic siphoned from his aura and using his own body as experimental stock.

Rather than cast magic like a spellcaster, the alchemist captures his own magic potential within liquids and extracts he creates, infusing his chemicals with virulent power to grant him impressive skill with poisons, explosives, and all manner of self-transformative magic. While some creators of alchemical items content themselves with sedentary lives as merchants, providing tindertwigs and smokesticks, the true alchemist answers a deeper calling. Whether secreted away in a smoky basement laboratory or gleefully experimenting in a well-respected school of magic, the alchemist is often regarded as being just as unstable, unpredictable, and dangerous as the concoctions he brews.
