Bombs

 Alchemists are masters at mixing a variety of volatile chemicals and infusing them with magic to create powerful bombs that they can throw at their enemies. An alchemist can create and use a number of bombs each day equal to their class level + the alchemist intelligence modifier. Bombs are unstable, and if not used by the end of the day that they are created, they will degrade and become inert. Because of the creation process of making bombs, alchemist are unable to store or create large volumes of the explosive material.

To create a bomb, the alchemist must use a small vial containing a liquid catalyst. The alchemist can create this liquid catalyst from small amounts of chemicals from their alchemy lab or with natural components found in nature. These supplies can be refilled by purchasing component pouches. Alchemists can create a number of catalyst vials at the start of the day equal to the total number of bombs they can create a day. Once a catalyst is created, it will remain usable for years.

Bombs can be created either at the beginning of the day, or during combat.Drawing the components of, and creating a bomb during combat is an action that provokes an attack of opportunity. Thrown bombs have a range of 20 feet and causes splash damage equal to half the bombs damage. Those caught in the splash damage can attempt a dexterity save for half damage. The dc of this save equals 8 + the alchemist proficiency bonus + the alchemist intelligence modifier. Splash damage does not benefit from critical hits, and must be calculated before critical multipliers are applied.  Bombs are considered weapons and can benefit from feats such as sharpshooter. On a direct hit, an alchemist’s bomb inflicts 1d6 points of fire damage + additional damage equal to the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier. The damage of an alchemist’s bomb is 1d6 + the alchemist intelligence modifier,  and increases by 1d6 points at levels 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 20 for a maximum of 8d6. 

Alchemists can learn new types of bombs as discoveries (see the Discoveries) as they level up. An alchemist’s bomb, inert and unusable if used or carried by anyone else.

Mutagens

At 1st level, an alchemist discovers how to create mutagens that they can drink in to heighten their physicality at a cost. It takes 1 hour to brew a dose of mutagen. Once a mutagen is brewed, it remains potent until used. An alchemist can only create and maintain one dose of a mutagen at a time. If a second dose is brewed, the previous mutagen becomes inert and usable, if it was not used previously. Mutagen's become inert and unusable if it is not in the possession of the alchemist that created it.

When an alchemist brews a mutagen, they select one physical ability score, Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. It is a bonus action to drink a mutagen. Once drank, the mutagen causes the alchemist to transform and become more bestial, granting a +2 alchemical bonus to the selected ability score for 10 minutes per alchemist level. Additionally, while the mutagen is in effect, the alchemist takes a –2 penalty to one of their mental ability scores.

If the mutagen enhances their Strength, the alchemist becomes bulkier, and it applies a  -2 penalty to their Intelligence, but has resistance to bludgeoning damage. 

If the mutagen enhances their Dexterity, the alchemist becomes more slender, and it applies a -2 penalty to their Wisdom, but had resistance to piercing damage.

If the mutagen enhances their Constitution, the alchemist skin becomes calloused, and it applies a -2 penalty to their Charisma, but as resistance to slashing damage.

A non-alchemist who drinks a mutagen must make a Fortitude save equal to 8 + the alchemist proficiency bonus + the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier, or become poisoned for 1 hour. A non-alchemist can never benefit of a mutagen. Alchemist can only gain the benefits of a mutagen they create, although alchemist will never become poisoned if they drink another alchemist's mutagen. 

Extracts

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

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Extracts behave like spells but in potion form, and their effects can be dispelled by effects like dispel magic and counter spell Unlike potions, extracts can have powerful effects and duplicate spells that many potions normally could not.

Alchemist are only able to create a number of extracts each day per level. Their daily allotment of extracts per day is given on the Alchemist Table. Alchemist infuses a bit of their own magic, from their magical aura, with the chemicals and appropriate reagents when mixing an extract. Extracts become inert and unusable if it is not in the alchemist’s possession. Extracts reactivate as soon as it returns to the alchemist who created it. Only the Alchemist that created the extract are able to drink it, If a non-alchemist attempts to ingest an extract, they must make a constitution save of 8+ the extract level + the alchemist intelligence modifier. If the save is failed, the non-alchemist who drank the extract will suffer from the poisoned condition for 1 hour.

Once and extract is created, it will remain potent for 1 day before becoming inert and unusable, so an alchemist must re-prepare their extracts every day. Mixing an extract takes 1 minute to create. Most alchemists prepare many extracts at the start of the day or just before going on an adventure, however, it’s not uncommon for an alchemist to keep some or all of their daily extract slots open so that they can prepare extracts in the field as needed. Drinking and casting an extract is a standard action, due to the time it takes to draw the extract, drink it, and then casting it. 

 

Formulae

Although alchemist do not actually cast spells, they do have a formulae list that determines what extracts they can create.  An alchemist “cast” an extract by drinking it. The effects of an extract exactly duplicate the spell which its formula is based upon. Creating extracts consumes raw materials, similar to the physical materials wizards need to cast their spells. Alchemist can use component pouches for materials that do not have a specific cost, such as a diamond that cost 1000gp. Components are expended when the extract is created. Extracts cannot be made from spells that requires concentration checks to maintain.

An alchemist can prepare an extract of any formula they know. Alchemist store their formulae in a tome called a formula book. They must refer to this book whenever they preparesan extract but not when they consume it. An alchemist begins play with two 1st level formulae, plus additional forumlae equal to their Intelligence modifier. At each new alchemist level, tey gain one new formula of any level that they are able to create. An alchemist can also add formulae to their book, similar to how a wizard adds spells to their spellbook, using the same costs and time requirements. An alchemist can study other formula book's to learn any formula that the other formula book contains. 

Your Formula Book

The formulae that you add to your formula book as you gain levels reflects the research you conduct on your own, as well as breakthroughs you have had about the nature of the natural elements found around you. You might find other formulae  or formula books during your adventures. You could discover a formula recorded on a scroll in a mad scientist workshop, or in a old abandoned library. 

Copying a Formula into the Book. When you discover a new formula, you can add it to your formula book if it is of an  extract level you can prepare and if you have the time to decipher and copy it.

Copying that formula into your formula book involves reproducing the formula he basic formula, then deciphering the mathematical equations used by the alchemist who wrote it. You must practice the formula until you perfect the extract, then transcribe it into your formula book using your own notation.

Each level of the formula requires 2 hours and costs 50 gp to copy. The cost represents material components you expend as you experiment with the formula to master it. Once you have spent this time and money, you can prepare the extract just like your other extracts.

Replacing the Book. You can copy a formulae from your own formula book into another book, if you want to make a backup copy in case of an emergency. This is just like copying a new formula into your formula book, but faster and easier, since you understand your own notation and already know how to create the extract. You need only 1 hour and 10 gp for each level of the copied spell.

If you lose your formula book, you can use the same procedure to transcribe the formulae that you have prepared into a new formula book. Filling out the remainder of your formula book requires you to find new formulae to do so, as normal. Alchemist typically keep a back up formula book in case they lose their original book. 

The Book’s Appearance. Your formula book is a unique compilation of formulae, with its own flourishes and margin notes. It might be a plain, leather book that you bought at childhood, it a finely decorated tome you received at a learning institute or academy, or even a loose collection of notes scrounged together over time.

Discovery

At 2nd level, and then again every even level after, an alchemist makes an alchemical discovery. Alchemist cannot select an individual discovery more than once, unless otherwise specified. Some discoveries have level requirements, or can only be learned if another prerequisite discovery is learned first. Discoveries that modify bombs that are marked with an asterisk (*) do not stack. Only one such discovery can be applied to an individual bomb. The DC of any saving throw called for by a discovery is equal to 8 + the alchemist’s proficiency + the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier.

• A complete list of discoveries can be found below

Alchemical Evasion

On a successful save against area of affect spells and splash damage, Alchemist take no damage instead of half damage 

Persistent Mutagen

At 14th level, the effects of a mutagen last for 1 hour per level.

 

Instant Alchemy

At 18th level, an alchemist can create alchemical items with near supernatural speed. The alchemist can create nearly any alchemical item during their turn. If they succeed at the Craft alchemy check and has the appropriate resources at hand to fund the creation.

The alchemist are unable to use the move or disengage action, and must use their bonus action to draw the components and materials to create the alchemical item. Items that can be created will be at the Dungeon Masters discretion. 

Grand Discovery

At 20th level, the alchemist makes a grand discovery. They  immediately learn two normal discoveries, but also learns a third discovery chosen from the Grand Discovery list below, representing a truly astounding alchemical breakthrough of significant import. For many alchemists, the promise of one of these grand discoveries is the primary goal of their experiments and hard work.

Toxic skin	—
The alchemist flesh becomes toxic. Any creature that uses a bite attack against the alchemist becomes poisoned for 1 round unless it succeeds at a Constitution save using the alchemist spell save dc. A creature that swallows the alchemist whole becomes poisoned unless it succeeds at a Constitution of the alchemist spell save dc with disadvantage. If the creature fails the save, it vomits him back out immediately as a free action at the start of the creature’s turn; the alchemist lands prone adjacent to the creature.
Blinding Bomb	Alchemist 8
The alchemist creates a bomb that emits a bright light upon detonation. Creatures that take a direct hit from a blinding bomb will be blinded for 1d4 rounds unless they succeed at a Constitution save using the alchemist spell save dc. Creatures in the splash area that fail their saves against the bomb are stunned for 1 round.

These poisonous bombs are extra effective against plant creatures. Non plant-like creatures affected by these bombs take half damage. These bomb deal an additional 1d8 points of damage, against plant like creatures. This is a poison-like effect and can kill regular vegetation, such as weeds, bushes, and the like, in the target’s square and its splash area. Plant-based difficult terrain in the affected by the bomb becomes normal terrain.
Delayed Bomb	Alchemist 8
The alchemist can rig a bomb so that it explodes after a set number of rounds up to equal to alchemist level.The alchemist can choose to deactivate the bomb as a bonus action by picking it up. A delayed bomb immediately detonates if any other creature o touches or move it, or if the bomb’s takes damage. The bomb deals damage as normal if it detonates while a creature is in the same square as the bomb when it detonates; creatures can take half damage upon a successful dexterity save using the alchemist spell save dc. It does splash damage, as normal, to all adjacent creatures, and does half damage upon a successful dexterity save using the alchemist spell save dc. An alchemist cannot have more than one delayed bomb active at a time. If another delayed bomb is created, the previous bomb becomes inert and unusable. Dispel magic can neutralize a delayed bomb, as as Rogues using thieves tools, the dc to disable the bomb is equal to the alchemist spell save dc.
Demolition Charge	Alchemist 8
These bombs are designed to deal damage to buildings and inanimate objects, by shaping the charge in a single direction dealing an additional 2d6 damage to inanimate objects such as walls and doors. Demolition charges work similarly to delayed bombs, however, these bombs must be placed on an inanimate object such as the hull of a ship, a door, or a wall. Demolition charges do splash damage as normal, but does not increase with the additional 2d6 damage.  When using a demolition charge, roll the bombs normal damage to calculate splash damage before adding the additional 2d6 damage from the demolition charge.
Diluted potion	Alchemist 12
Twice per day, the alchemist can dilute any one potion to create  two doses of the same potion. Diluting a potion costs is equal to one-quarter of the potion’s market value. A potion that has been diluted cannot be diluted again. This discovery cannot be used to dilute extracts or mutagens.
Directed Bomb	—
Bombs do splash damage in a 15-foot cone instead of a 5-foot-radius. The alchemist has the ability to choose the direction of the cone. If the attack misses, roll an additional 1d8 to determine the direction of the blast from where the bomb lands. This discovery can’t be combined with the explosive bomb or precise bomb discoveries.
Ectoplasmic Bomb	—
These bombs deal full damage to incorporeal creatures as if they were corporeal
Elemental Mutagen	—
Whenever the alchemist drinks a mutagen they must pick an element (acid, cold, fire, lightening, or thunder), whenever they drink a mutagen, they gain resistance to the associated element of the selected type. An alchemist can select this discovery up to two times, but must choose a different element each time. An alchemist can gain the benefits of only one elemental mutagen at a time when they drink the mutagen.
Explosive Bomb	—
The alchemist’s bombs now have a splash radius of 10 feet rather than 5 feet. Creatures that take a direct hit from an explosive bomb catch fire, taking an additional 1d4 points of fire damage each round until the fire is extinguished. Extinguishing the flames is a full-round action that requires a Dexterity save. If the take chooses to roll on the ground provides , it the target with a +2 to the save. Dousing the target with at least 2 gallons of water automatically extinguishes the flames. The save dc is equal to the alchemist spell save dc.
Explosive Missile	Alchemist 4
As a standard action, the alchemist can attach a single arrow, crossbow bolt, or one-handed firearm bullet with the power of his bomb, load the ammunition, and shoot the ranged weapon. If the alchemist is not proficient with the weapon, they must roll on disadvantage. When the infused ammunition hits its target, it deals damage normally and detonates as if the alchemist had thrown the bomb at the target. If the explosive missile misses, it does not detonate.
Extend Potion	—
Alchemist can cause any potion they drink, that does not have an instantaneous duration, will last twice its normal duration. Alchemist can use this affect a number of times a day equal to their intelligence modifier. This discovery does not apply to extracts or mutagens.
Fast Bombs	Alchemist 8
An alchemist with this discovery can quickly create enough bombs to throw more than one in a single round. The alchemist can prepare and throw one additional bomb as a bonus action.
Feral Mutagen	—
Whenever the alchemist drinks a mutagen, their finger nails grow into claw attacks and they gain a bite attack as their teeth grow sharper. An aclhemist can use all three attacks by using their standard attack action and bonus action, or do a single attack using a single claw or bite attack as a standard attack action. The claws deals 1d6 points of damage and the bite attack deals 1d8 points of damage. While the mutagen is in effect, the alchemist roll with advantage on Intimidate skill checks.
Force Bomb	Alchemist 8
These bombs  inflict force damage. Force bombs deal 1d6, and pushes creatures 10 feet instead of doing splash damage unless they pass a dexterity save equal to the alchemist spell save dc. Creatures that are hit directly by the force bomb are knocked prone unless they pass a dexterity save equale to the alchemist spell dc.
Frost Bomb	—
These bombs inflict an additional 1d6 cold damage. Creatures that take a direct hit from a frost bomb have their movement speed reduced by 20 feet unless they pass a constitution save equal to the Alchemist spell save dc.
Glassfoot Bomb	—
When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it cover the ground in crystals that act like caltrops, evaporating into a harmless gas in 2d6 rounds
Grease Bomb	Alchemist 6
When the alchemist creates a bomb, it affects an area similar to the grease spell when it detonates. A grease bomb can’t affect items or armor.
Greater Mutagen	Alchemist 12
The alchemist’s mutagen now grants a +4 alchemical bonus to one physical ability score (Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution), and is able to temporarily add their proficiency bonus to their associated physical score. The alchemist still takes a –2 penalty on both associated mental ability scores as long as the mutagen persists.
Grounding Bomb	—
The alchemist’s bomb applies a sticky residue after it deals damage to the creature. Creatures that can fly must make a strength check equal to the alchemist spell save dc or be grounded for 5 rounds. Creatures can attempt to save again at the end of their turn.
Hellfire Bomb	Alchemist 9 explosive bomb
When the alchemist creates a Hellfire bomb, it acts as an explosive bomb, but instead deals necrotic damage instead of fire damage.
Holy Bombs	Alchemist 8
Holy bombs deal radiant damage. When holy bombs directly hits an evil or undead creature, it must succeed a Constitution save, equal to the alchemist spell save dc, or be stunned on their next turn. On a successful save, they take half damage and ignore the stunned effect. Non evil, and non undead creatures are not affected by the stun effect.
Inferno Bomb	Alchemist 16, smoke bomb
Infernal bombs act similarly to the  incendiary cloud spell instead of fog cloud, filling a 20 foot radius for 5 rounds. The cloud is stationary and cannot move it. The spell dc of the cloud equals the alchemist spell save dc. This bomb cannot be affected by the precise bombs discovery
Malignant Poison	Alchemist 10
Once per long rest the alchemist can increase the save DC of any poison by 4 and double its duration and does 1 additional damage die. Malignant poisons immediately takes effect and do not have an onset time.
Plague Bomb	Alchemist 8, smoke bomb
Plague bombs cast a contagion cloud similar to the con, filling an area equal to twice the bomb’s splash area for 1 round per level.
Poison Bomb	Alchemist 12, smoke bomb
Poison bombs act similarly to the  cloud kill spell instead of fog cloud, filling a 20 foot radius for 5 rounds. The cloud is stationary and cannot move it. The spell dc of the cloud equals the alchemist spell save dc. This bomb cannot be affected by the precise bombs discovery
Precise Bombs	—
Whenever the alchemist throws a bomb, they can select a number of squares equal to his Intelligence modifier that are not affected by the splash damage from his bombs. If the bomb misses, this discovery has no effect.
Psychoactive Bomb	Alchemist 6
Psychoactive bombs are mixed with neurotoxins. On a direct hit, the target must make a Charisma Saving throw equal to the Alchemist spell save, or be affected as if the Bane spell were cast on it for 5 rounds.
Rocket Bomb
Alchemists with this discovery can prepare special rockets to deliver their bombs. Rocket bombs travel farther and explode bigger than normal bombs, but cannot target individual creatures. Rocket bombs explode in a 20-foot radius, and all creatures in that area take the alchemist’s normal splash damage. The range increment on a rocket bomb is 50 feet. Rocket bombs cannot be used with the precise bomb or fast bomb discoveries. An alchemist must be at least 6th level before selecting discovery.
Shock Bomb	—
When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it inflict electricity damage. Creatures that take a direct hit from a shock bomb are stunned for 1d6 rounds.
Smoke Bomb	—
When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it create a cloud of thick smoke when it detonates. The cloud functions as fog cloud, filling a 20 ft radius
Sticky Poison	Alchemist 6
Any poison the alchemist creates is sticky—when the alchemist applies it to a weapon, the weapon remains poisoned for a number of strikes equal to the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier.
Stink Bomb	Smoke bomb
The effects of the smoke created by an alchemist’s bomb can duplicate the effects of stinking cloud instead of fog cloud, with a 20ft radius.
Strafe Bomb	—
The alchemist can throw bombs that splash in a 40-foot line rather than affecting a radius. The line starts at the alchemist and extends away from him in the direction he chooses. The =alchemist designates one creature in the squares affected by the line to be the target of the bomb and makes his attack roll against that creature; all other squares in the line take splash damage. Special: If the alchemist has the explosive bomb discovery and throws an explosive strafe bomb, the line of splash damage is 80 feet long instead of 40 feet.
Snaring bomb	—
A creature that takes a direct hit from a snaring bomb must save against the bomb’s DC or be entangled and glued to the floor. The dc of this bomb is equal to the alchemist spell save dc
Underwater Demolition	—
The alchemist gains the ability to throw bombs underwater (normally, thrown weapons cannot be used underwater), including throwing from the air into the water. If the bomb travels through water, the range increment is reduced to 5 feet.
