Base Class: Artificer
Alchemy is, at it's core, is a search for truth, the true nature of the material. A wizard of the alchemist subclass is an expert at transmuting materials and combining reagents to magical effect, using their creations to give life and to leech it away. Some may be healers, pursuing their art to help the sick, others may have more selfish goals, aiming to purify and preserve their own mind and flesh at any cost. Regardless of their reasons, all alchemists seek one thing: Alkahest, the universal solvent. They work to distill material essence into the most potent of concoctions, until they find the single, immutable truth.

Level 3: Tool Proficiency
When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with alchemist's supplies. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.
Level 3: Alchemist Spells
Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Alchemist Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Level 3: Alchemical Formulae
Beginning at 3rd level, whenever you finish a long rest, you can magically produce an experimental elixir in an empty flask you touch. Roll on the Experimental Elixir table for the elixir's effect, which is triggered when the elixir is applied using one of the five methods of application. As an action, a creature can drink the elixir, administer it to an incapacitated creature, or throw it at an enemy target. Consuming a healing potion as an action restores the maximum number of points of healing given by the potion, consuming a healing potion of a bonus action requires a roll to determine the number of points of healing awarded.
Targets affected by the potion must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC.
You can create additional experimental elixirs by expending a spell slot of 1st level or higher for each one. 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 the Experimental Elixir table.
Creating an experimental elixir requires you to have alchemist 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, you can make more elixirs at the end of a long rest: two at 6th level and three at 15th level. Roll for each elixir's effect separately. Each elixir requires its own flask.

Alchemists have a variety of methods in which they are able to deliver their creations in the field.
| Container | Effect |

| Hypodermic Syringe | The dose is in liquid form that is injected into a target as an action by hand, blowgun or crossbow. |
Level 5: Arcanum Adept
At 5th level, creating mixtures with an alchemy kit takes half the normal time. Potions created by you add your proficiency bonus to their damage and healing. You have advantage when trying to identify the chemical makeup of an object.
Crackerjack Compositions
Additionally, 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).
Level 9: Restorative Reagents
Starting at 9th level, 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.
Level 15: Felicitas Acheived
By 15th level, 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 now immune to the poisoned condition.
- You can cast Greater Restoration and Heal without expending a spell slot, without preparing the spell, and without providing the material component, 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.
