3rd-level Apothecary feature

You gain proficiency with martial weapons and the poisoner’s kit. If you are already proficient in the poisoner’s kit, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan’s tools of your choice.

Poison Tonics

3rd-level Apothecary feature

Your experiments with various poisons and antidotes grant you the ability to produce Poison Tonics. Whenever you finish a short or long rest, you can expend a spell slot of 1 level or higher to create a Poison Tonic. Roll either on the Combat Tonics or Adventuring Tonics Table to determine the effect. You can produce Poison Tonics equal to your Proficiency Bonus per day. There can be Poison Tonics equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 2) in existence. If you produce more than that, choose one of the existing ones to be replaced.

As a bonus action, a creature can consume a Poison Tonic to receive its effects. Alternatively, it can be thrown at a creature using an action, forcing the target to succeed a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC or receive its effects. A creature can choose to fail this saving throw automatically.

Over time, you increase your understanding of the Poison Tonics learning their recipes. The DM can give you the recipe for one or multiple Poison Tonics during the time of your adventure. If you have the recipe for a Poison Tonic, you can choose to create that specific one instead of rolling. Doing so costs either 10gp or 1 hour searching for the ingredients.
