Alchemy

Alchemy is a known profession that allows anyone who would pick it up to take typical reagents that one can find or acquire and mix them together into potions and elixirs. This page will go over what the profession needs in terms of tools and ability scores. It should be noted that alchemy recipes cannot be salvaged, and failing a crafting check will result in all crafting materials being destroyed.

Related Tool & Ability Score

Alchemy works using Alchemist’s Supplies. Attempting to craft a potion without these will almost always be made with disadvantage, and proficiency with these allows you to add your proficiency to any alchemy crafting roll.

Alchemy uses your choice of your Intelligence or Wisdom modifier.

Shelf Life & Expired Potions

A unique attribute to alchemy, potions once crafted have a shelf life of 1 year before coming expired. This shelf life is shortened to 1 month if the potion contains any reactive ingredient.

If an expired potion is used or consumed within double its shelf life, roll a d4. On a 1, you become poisoned for 1 minute. On a 2 or 3, the potion will work with reduced effect; its duration will be halved if it had a duration, and damage or healing it dealt will be halved. On a 4, it works as expected.

Any potion that is older than twice its shelf life has no effect besides causing the imbiber to become poisoned for 1 minute.

Crafting Roll

Putting that together means that when you want to work on Alchemy, your crafting roll is as follows:

Alchemy Modifier = your Alchemist’s Supplies proficiency bonus + your Intelligence or Wisdom modifier (your choice)

Success and Failure

For Alchemy, after you make the crafting roll and succeed mark your progress on a crafting project. If you succeed, you make 10 Minutes of progress toward the total crafting time (and have completed one of the required checks for making an item). Checks for Alchemy must be consecutive, meaning that if you wish to continue after a failed craft, you need to extend your crafting time.

Failure means that no progress is made during that time. Once an item is started, even if no progress is made, the components reserved for that item can only be recovered via salvage. If you fail three times in a row, all progress and materials are lost and can no longer be salvaged.

Alchemy Saving Throw

Some alchemical creations trigger a saving throw. In instances that they do, the following is the formula for calculating the saving throw. The saving throw is calculated at the time of creation based on the creators attributes and proficiency, and doesn’t change once it is created.

Alchemy DC = 8 + your Alchemist’s Supplies proficiency bonus + your Intelligence or Wisdom Modifier (your choice)
