Often eccentric and obsessed with a particular ﬁeld of study, most alchemists choose a specialty to master:Specialization (d8)1  Snake oils and “miracle” cures2  Deadly toxins3  Restorative elixirs4  Explosives and inflammables5  Glues, solvents, and similar agents6  Acids, bases, and caustics7  Cosmetic aids and alterations8  Hangover cures and home remediesYour choice of specialization may give you Advantage on ability checks to use, produce, identify, and sell related items, at the DM’s discretion.FEATURE: LABORATORY EXPERTAs an alchemist, you are commonly exposed to a wide range of chemicals, and you have learned to work safely and efficiently with materials.  You never risk accidental exposure or contamination when examining, using, or identifying unknown liquids, powders, potions, poisons, or other chemical substances.  If you have access to a laboratory, you can identify these items and their properties with a successful Medicine check over a short or long rest.FEATURE:  LONG LIFEYour knowledge of bodily functions, toxicology, long-term health, and medicine has served you well.  Your maximum lifespan extends by 10 years or by +10%, whichever is greater.SUGGESTED CHARACTERISTICSThough it is not a requirement, I recommend choosing your Personality Trait, Ideal, Bond, and Flaw from those available to the Sage background, on page 138 of the Player’s Handbook.  Alchemists are academics like any other, but tend to focus more on chemicals and compounds than on books and scrolls.[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
