Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Chemist.

Crafting Experience: At each level, a chemist gains an experience pool that can be used for crafting potions. Experience from this pool is lost when leveling up. At 9th level, a chemist no longer needs to use experience when crafting potions. A chemist may choose how much experience comes from this pool and how much comes from other sources.

Brew Potion or Potion Sipper: At first level, a chemist either gains Brew Potion or Potion Sipper depending on which feat the chemist did not have when entering the class. If the chemist has both of these feats, then the chemist gains a feat from the #Bonus Feats list.

Spellfree Brewing: A chemist may brew potions without knowing the spell. At each level, the chemist chooses 4 spells that he knows for the sake of brewing. Chosen spells must be able to be cast with an effective caster level equal to the chemist's challenge rating.

Faster Consumption: At various levels, a chemist can make potions that can be consumed faster. Even though these potions can be consumed faster, only one potion may be consumed in a round. Any other potions consumed do not take effect.

Movement Action: At second level, potions brewed by a chemist only take a movement action to consume.

Swift Action: At fourth level, potions brewed by a chemist only take a swift action to consume.

Potion patch: At seventh level, potions brewed by a chemist may take the form of a patch applied to the skin. When properly applied to the body, it only takes an immediate action to enable them. A creature may have no more than 4 patches applied at once. Applying more than four patches to a creature causes the initially placed patch to immediately take effect. Applying and removing patches takes one minute.

Advanced Brewing: At third level, a chemist transcends the normal limit of potions, and may make potions for all spells, irrelevant of level.

Throw Potion: At fifth level, a chemist may throw potions. Thrown potions effect hit creatures as if the creature consumed it.

'Anyshape Brewing: At sixth level, a chemist may create potions of any shape. The effect of the potion depends on the shape. Not all spells can be placed in potions. It is the final say of the DM what the effect of a potion will be. The consumer of the potion automatically fails any reflex save against the spell.

Line: The consumer of the potion is effected by the spell as if he was the target of the spell.

Cone: The effect of the spell only affects the consumer of the target. When thrown, the spell is centered where the potion breaks with an area of the spell is

Cylinder or other symmetrical shape: The effect of the spell is centered on the target. Thrown potions center where the potion breaks.

Bonus Feats: Heightened Potion
