Concoction Specialist
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you become something of a herbalist. You gain the following benefits:
- When trying to find an herb, you treat that herb as one category less rare than it actually is when you make your check. For example, when determining the DC to find a rare herb, you act as if the herb were uncommon. If a herb is already common, you get advantage on your roll to find it.
- You can craft herbal concoctions twice as quickly. For example, it only takes you two days to craft an herbal concoction with a total market value of 100 gold pieces, instead of four days.
- When you consume a potion or herbal concoction, you may do so as a bonus action. If doing so would normally be a bonus action, you may do so as a free action on your turn.
- If you use a potion or concoction that would require someone else to make a saving throw, instead of using the DC in the item's description, they must succeed against your save DC, which is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier.
- Your physiological familiarity with elixirs means these concoctions affect you in a less detrimental way. You gain resistance to poison damage.
You also gain the ability to quickly manufacture your own specialized concoctions. After you complete a long rest, you may spend 15 minutes brewing concoctions.
Choose four common concoctions and two uncommon concoctions from the Table of Flora and Drugs of Farland. You now possess these concoctions, having manufactured them for free from ingredients at hand. However, having been cobbled together, these special concoctions spoil and become useless in 24 hours.
