Well, yeah XP. And probably a load of money due to research. The 1st time at least, becuase all the research would take money the first time.
I like the branching idea.
... WOW. You are so helpful G. I think branching on what would be more traditional alchemy by region is a cool idea. When...
Well, it wasn't suppose to dissolve organic material (in some contexts at least). You could keep it in a wineskin then.
Thats going to be a royal pain in the ass ... Got to put some sort of limitation on it
Sorry about that ... Sometimes silly little stuff like that doesn't occur to me. :erm:
So, over on Giant in the Playground, theirs a discussion on Deadliest Warrior. They say the show doesn't do research because the fight scenes are unrealistic. I say the actual fight scenes don't matter as...
I think I'll be sticking to a more middle-eastern (maybe a little western) approach to Alchemy.
Yeah, I got the whole perfection of self thing to, but I was thinking that might be a bit ridiculous
Hmm ... I need some sort of compromise then ...
You mean Alkahest? Not sure how I could fit...
OK ... So, doing some more digging. Please remember, Im new at this sort of thing, and I thnk I may be geting ahead of myself ...
The ultimate goal of many Alchemist was to create an Elixir of Life, called Pancea. Pancea would, supposedly, cure any disease and prolong life indefinitely. Though...
Forked from History, Mythology, Art and RPG's ...
OK ... So, this is a thread about building a more realistic Alchemist class. I want to use it for E6, but I guess I'll build it to/through level 20 ... I am very new at this, so please critique thoroughly, but please, dont be a jerk about it...
Oh, no, I'd be obliged if you did. I just did some digging through Wikipedia. How did people homebrew with out the internet?
No to be, uhh, self-centered, but do you mean me, or G?
I thank you for the advice. The thing about Alchemists doing magical stuff is that the good ones (as I perceive it) realized that magic wasn't real, and so science became the answer. In a realistic/historic D&D game, this could go 1 of 2 ways as I see it. The 1st is that yes, they could at 20th...
Tell me about it. The most beneficial (realistic) thing that I can come up with is the ability to come create Liquid/Greek Fire, and use them as Grenades at level 6 (because I'd like to try and run E6 as long as I can get my player to agree with it). The upside to having a not so battle related...
