Level 3: Alchemical Elixirs

Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can magically produce alchemical elixirs in an empty flask you touch. Choose an alchemical element (Acid, Fire, Necrotic, or Poison). Roll on the chosen element's Alchemical Elixirs table for the elixir’s effect, which is triggered when someone drinks the elixir. As a Bonus Action, a creature can drink the elixir or administer it to an Incapacitated creature.

Creating alchemical elixirs requires you to have Alchemist’s Supplies on your person, and any elixir you create with this feature lasts until it is drunk or until the end of your next Long Rest.

When you reach certain levels in this class, your elixirs become more potent and gain additional and improved effects as you perfect your craft: you create Superior elixirs at 9th level and Perfected elixirs at 17th level. Choose an alchemical element (Acid, Fire, Necrotic, or Poison) for each elixir and roll for that elixir’s effect separately from the chosen alchemical element's table. Each elixir requires its own flask.

You can create additional experimental alchemical elixirs by expending a spell slot of 1st level or higher for each one, superior alchemical elixirs by expending a spell slot of 3rd level or higher for each one, and perfected alchemical elixirs by expending a spell slot of 5th level or higher. When you do so, you use your action to create the elixir in an empty flask you touch, and you choose the elixir’s effect from any of the Alchemical Elixirs table.

Alchemical Savant

5th-level Alchemist feature

You've developed masterful command of magical chemicals, enhancing the healing and damage you create through them. Whenever you cast a spell using your alchemist’s supplies as the spellcasting focus, you gain a bonus to one roll of the spell. That roll must restore hit points or be a damage roll that deals Acid, Fire, Necrotic, or Poison damage, and the bonus equals your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).

Restorative Reagents

9th-level Alchemist feature

You can incorporate restorative reagents into some of your works:

  • Whenever a creature drinks an experimental elixir you created, the creature gains temporary hit points equal to 2d6 + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 temporary hit point).
  • You can cast lesser restoration without expending a spell slot and without preparing the spell, provided you use alchemist’s supplies as the spellcasting focus. You can do so a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Chemical Mastery

15th-level Alchemist feature

You have been exposed to so many chemicals that they pose little risk to you, and you can use them to quickly end certain ailments:

  • You gain resistance to acid damage and poison damage, and you are immune to the poisoned condition.
  • You can cast greater restoration and heal without expending a spell slot, without preparing the spell, and without material components, provided you use alchemist’s supplies as the spellcasting focus. Once you cast either spell with this feature, you can’t cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.
