Forage (Level 1)
Alchemists are adept at finding ingredients in the wild that they need to create their potions.
Passive
Recipe Book (Level 1)
Gain access to an old recipe book with a variety of alchemical recipes that you can now create.
The Recipe Book is divided into four sections: Novice Alchemy, Expert Alchemy, Master Alchemy, and Grandmaster Alchemy. The Alchemist begins in the Novice Alchemy section of the book, where they initially have access to four Novice potions. Once the Alchemist successfully brews 15 potions in a certain tier, their skills will be sufficient enough to attempt recipes in the next tier.
As you learn the art of alchemy, failure is inevitable. Each time you attempt to create a potion, you roll a 1d20. If you roll a 1, the potion blows up in your face, leaving you with a "Ruined Potion". As your skills increase and you progress to making higher tier potions, you can no longer fail at creating potions in a lower tier. Note: Ruined Potions do not count towards your tier progression.
Each attempt at alchemy costs 1AP.
