I can't find anything on what a fighter with proficiency in alchemist's supplies can do. It made sense for back-story reasons to have that proficiency, but how can I use the supplies? Do have have to take three levels of artificer to become an alchemist before there's any point to it?
It allows you to use the crafting rules for alchemical supplies such as [item[acid (vial)[/item] and alchemist's fire (flask). Like most tool proficiencies, it's pretty marginal, but it does do something.

OOhhhh! I get it! thanks for steering me to the down-time crafting rules!
Not just crafting, it can also be used to identify poisons and other substances, neutralize an acid or start a fire without other equipment.
