This article by Matt Roth presents a new Alchemist's Apprentice background (and it variant, the unorthodox Self-Made Master), a bunch of new alchemical items, and three new feats designed especially for alchemists - Alchemical Artillerist, Expeditious Alchemy, and Pernicious Poisoner. Illustrated by Nick Cramp and Jen Tracy.

Adventurer's Guide pg. 75: Making Backgrounds If you want to design your own background, it should include the following: • +1 to two ability scores of your choice. • Proficiency in two skills. • Proficiency in two tools, two languages, or one of each. • One connection: an acquaintance, ally, or enemy from your past. • One memento: an item of sentimental value worth less than 30 gold. • A background feature describing your relationship with the world. Your background feature typically provides a source of information, shelter, or financial support in a certain lifestyle. In the background & variant here: Skill Proficiencies: Medicine, Nature Tool Proficiencies: Alchemist’s supplies Language: One of your choice

2016-02-18 15:24:56 +0000 UTCI really like this style of an article. I also really like the feats, both while very useful are not too situational or over powering.
