[QUOTE="Falling Icicle, post: 4475342, member: 17077"] I agree. I was considering getting the Alchemist feat, but then I realised I'd still have to pay just as much to make this stuff as it would to just buy it at the store. The extremely rare situation where I'd want to make this stuff out in the wilderness just doesn't justify the cost of a feat. Now, give me a 25% or more discount on the stuff I make, and I'd consider picking it up. And most of the items, especially at high levels, just aren't worth the cost, IMO. 45,000 gp for 4d6 alchemist's fire? Like hell! And it really ticks me off how you don't even use your own attack bonus, which is one of the ways they force you to buy the more expensive versions. Well, I'm sorry, I can never justify paying 45,000 gp for an item that is less effective than my at-will scorching burst! [/QUOTE]
