Through years of study under a leading potioneer, and perhaps through some innate talent, you have mastered the craft of brewing potions.
- Skill Proficiencies: Medicine, Nature
- Tool Proficiencies: Herbalism Kit, and your choice of Alchemist's Supplies or Brewer's Supplies
- Languages: One of your choice
- Equipment: An herbalism kit, either alchemist's supplies or brewer's supplies, a small knife, a cutting of a rare plant, a memento from the potioneer under whom you apprenticed, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp
Feature: Brewmaster
During your apprenticeship, you learned to efficiently use your brewing time. All common potions take half as much time for you to brew, and any uncommon or rarer potions that take a week or more to brew take you one day less per week.
Suggested Characteristics
Potioneers must be patient and detail-oriented to keep their brewing from producing disastrous results. The master potioneer must be able to think rationally and remember obscure facts, such as how rare plants interact when brewed together.
