The Alchemist subclass is for characters that have a penchant for mixing and brewing things for whatever purposes they need them for. Alchemists can use the herbalism system to mix up many different things using herbs and ingredients foraged from various places. They also get access to the 'brew' skill, which lets them create magical potions, and 'encapsulate' which allows them to take a potion and create several pills from it. In addition to these things, Alchemists gain the use of the 'concoct' system, which allows them to create new types of poisons, and their antidotes. These new concocted poisons add status effects rather than the normal way that spells add things to players. These status effects can paralyze, petrify, confuse, and even poison you in new, creative ways. When it comes to mixing up chemicals to improve, help, hinder, or cripple people, no one excels more than the Alchemist.
