No. Would be interesting as a Binder class or subclass
All I know of Thibaults Circle is that it was a Renaissance sword style (?) based upon geometry and the circle. So, no
I guess what I want is something that covers Chinese external alchemy, Latin Alchemy, Indian alchemy, Arabian alchemy and such, but without the religious mysticsm aspects ( or maybe Chinese (internal), Indian mysticsm, and Hellinistic spirit binding which you had mentioned) as some of the available subclasses.
Ah okay so basically just the magical chemist in the base class.
I don't know about the magical chemist. I through in Chinese (internal), Hellinistic, and such as subclasses begrudgingly. I more want to see healing (through elixirs, tinctures, etc), blinding powders and flash powders, creating smokey darkess, greek fire, acids, bases, poisons, explosives (just not as a defining class feature and no radiant damage, lightning damage, etc. ). Transumation can be a goal or have a magical subclass that actually achieves it (the same for immortality).
I tend to not strongly tie transmutation to alchemist classes in games, because it wasn’t actually the focus of that many alchemists irl and I find almost the other stuff they did more interesting. Indeed, I tend to think of both wizards and artificers in D&D as Alchemists.
| Level | Features |
| 1 | Hermetic Formula At 1st level, you learn three Alchemical Formula options of your choice. You learn an additional formula of your choice at 3rd, 9th, 14th, and 17th levels. To use any of these options, your Alchemist's Satchel must be within reach. If an Alchemical Formula option requires a saving throw, the DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier. Experimental Elixir Beginning at 1st level, whenever you finish a long rest, you can magically produce an experimental elixir of your choice in an empty flask you touch. As an action, a creature can drink the elixir or administer it to an incapacitated creature, which triggers the effects. Creating an experimental elixir requires you to have alchemist's supplies on your person, and any elixir you create with this feature lasts until it is drunk or until the end of your next long rest. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and you regain all uses when you complete a long rest. Experimental Elixir Healing. The drinker regains a number of hit points equal to 2d4 + your Intelligence modifier. Swiftness. The drinker's walking speed increases by 10 feet for 1 hour. Resilience. The drinker gains a +1 bonus to AC for 10 minutes. Boldness. The drinker can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to every attack roll and saving throw they make for the next minute. Flight. The drinker gains a flying speed of 10 feet for 10 minutes. Transformation. The drinker's body is transformed as if by the alter self spell. The drinker determines the transformation caused by the spell, the effects of which last for 10 minutes. |

Sure, the wizard has that - in exchange for having very powerful spellcasting. No one - not WotC, not a 3PP - is going to design a d6 HD class that doesn't get something of similar power to Wizard spellcasting in exchange.
Absolutely. Isaac Newton invented the cat flap.
I don’t know what that is, but yeah Isaac Newton invented a lot of stuff and advanced other stuff, Paracelsus invented toxicology, alchemists invented optics, several tools still used in modern chemistry, and a bunch of other stuff.
It's a small swinging doorway within a larger doorway that allows felis catus to enter and exit human residences at will.
