You’ve chosen to become one of these lands’ protectors, those who give up their life to become the slayers of monsters, both humanoid and not, in order to protect the realm from all the evil foes it might encounter, no matter the shape they take. As a Vatt’ghern, you’ve honed your body and mind to peak performance through training and challenges known as the trials of the lands. You’ve subjected yourself to alchemical trials that have awakened the superior hunter within you and now, with enhanced senses and abilities, you’re a formidable foe to any monster that dares cross your path.

Level 3: Enhanced Senses

The alchemical trial you’ve passed has forever changed your body and senses. You gain the following benefits

• You have resistance to poison damage.
• You have proficiency in Nature and you may roll Nature checks using your Intelligence modifier.

Level 3: Alchemy Savant

Your newfound bodily resilience allows you to push your body beyond its limits. You’ve learned secret formulas that can radically change your physiology in ways that could prove lethal for others.

You earn proficiency with the Alchemy kit and the Herbalism kit. In addition, you get access to several formulas to prepare unique potions called Vatt’ghern potions that grant you special bonuses upon drinking them.

Vatt'ghern Potions. You learn the White Honey formula and three formulas of your choice, which are detailed under "Vatt'ghern Potion Formulas" below. These potions enhance your senses, attacks or defenses in some way.

You learn two additional formulas of your choice at 7th, 10th, 15th and 18th level. Each time you learn new formulas, you can also replace one formula you know with a different one.

Only you can drink them and you can only drink a limited amount of them at a time. Drinking beyond this limit makes all active potions lose their effect and forces you to make a Constitution saving throw. On a fail, you receive 5 + PB * your fighter level of poison damage, one point of exhaustion and the poisoned condition. On a success, you receive half damage and one point of exhaustion. This effect also applies to anyone who drinks these potions who isn't you, as they prove toxic to them.

The limit for how may potions you may have active at a time increases to 2 at 7th level, 3 at 10th level, 4 at 15th level and 5 at 18th level.

You can brew Vatt'ghern potions on short rests and you may brew a number of them equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest. These potions last until your next long rest. Using them requires your bonus action. 

Ingredients. To brew these potions, you will need to find or purchase their ingredients. You may roll a Nature check to try to find the ingredients in the wild. The check's DC and the price for the ingredients are up to DM discretion.

Alchemy Savant DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
