Choose one of the following Specializations: Alchemist,
Armorer, Battle Smith, Forgewright, or Wandslinger.
Alchemist
Alchemy is a delicate art, tip the ratio of ingredients too far
out of line and the effects could be disastrous. Alchemists are
experts at combining exotic reagents to produce a variety of
materials and effects. From healing droughts that can heal

a wound in moments, to sticky goo that explodes when it

comes in contact with flame. With the right reagents and a bit
of luck, Alchemists use their wondrous Elixirs to give

life to their allies and leech it away from their foes.
