Bastion had Alchemy and Herbalism or something like that. My DM has it and she really like it a lot.

Alchemy & Herbalists, to be exact. Steven Schend (longtime writer for the Forgotten Realms) wrote this for us before he became a full-time staffer. Here's the specifics for you if you need to track it down:

SKU#: BAS-1003; ISBN: 0-9714392-4-9; $24.95

It should be available at your local hobby shop, or you can order it here. (where you can also see more of what's in it).

Bastion's book was very high on my list in the Best Rules Supplement category during ENnies judging. Really digs deep and fills a gap in D&D.

Alchemy & Herbalists is an excellent book. Several good PrC, many new feats, and lots of cool alchemical items. One of the only things that I have seen that provides indepth info on alchemy.

There is a chapter on Alchemy in Occult Lore -- as well as a bunch of other good stuff. Simon Collins just posted a review on this site yesterday (and rated the book 5/5).

Well I have a page and half of alchemical perfumes in Joe's Book of Enchantment. Not exactly what you are looking for but I figured I could sneak a small plug in and have it on topic too.

Alchemy & Herbalists was a book I really was taken with during the ENnies nomination process. Eric has it right; it fills a niche in D&D, and does it very well. I still think this is a great book, very useful.

Occult Lore is also another great book. I think A&H covers the subject more thoroughly, but OL has tons of other goodies.
