Artificer
Base Class: Artificer

The Apothecary are the practically-minded alchemists, for adventuring parties always needs a healer, and clerics might be in short supply. During their downtime, such alchemists have a marketable skill to depend upon for income and can do an indisputable amount of good with their knowledge. Apothecaries are constantly at work studying potions and herbology, preferring to learn how to mend the body, rather than destroy it.

All spells that are used by Apothecary come in the form of an elixir that is consumed, or a potion vial that is thrown at a target.
