This is one of my favourite Homebrew classes for Dnd. I didn’t make it (though I wish I did) I just post these to see what you guys think about it.
CaldariBob
So the apothecary can make all sorts of drugs?
soulscythe
The bombs are a little unfair. Generally a source of damage either rolls to hit, or allows a save. Both makes it too easy to avoid damage.
BaldurDash
I really enjoy how much D&D I've been seeing here lately.
BlackBiblio
There a PDF link anywhere?
Lucasdagon
You know I keep hearing how great 5e is but all I ever see as far as fan content is ripping off things from Pathfinder. Is it that bad?
ChibiYui
It's worse.
SunnyDetox
"homebrew"... I see what you did there

Let me help you out: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/alchemist/
Haiddon
please stop using pathfinder art for D&D
Sheepyhead
Now that we're at it can we stop using Pathfinder art for Pathfinder
CpnCanada
I have played this and there are some major problems, especially with regards to action economy.
Tylendal
Gonna be playing one of these guys in a campaign soon. I'm looking forward to finding a way to make use of the Skinsend spell.
Ryknel
Brb just gonna make an alchemist with min-maxed strength and charisma that wields a peasant beating stick
VitaminJay
It's a fun class. If you have a chance, play it in your campaign!
HalloIamherenow
How many bombs can your Alchemist carry at one time or per day? Or is it just unlimited?
VitaminJay
The one posted was someone's port of the Alchemist class from Pathfinder. I'll grab my books and double check for you shortly.
HalloIamherenow
According to Pathfinder you could craft a number of bombs equal to your Alchemist level + Intelligence modifier per day. Seems fair.
Dmetal2001
that would be so cool to play
BasicLurker
If you're into homebrew tabletop and D&D stuff, check out https://tabletoptrinketsbyjj.tumblr.com/ for items, baubles, trinkets and more
KingTonTon
That's cool, but also you can just play pathfinder which has a better version of this and everything is free at pfsrd.com
AngelZiefer
While I agree with you, I can concede that 5e is WAY easier for beginners. It's rules light and easy to understand vs the 1456345 pf books
KingTonTon
Yeah, PF needs a guide if there is a newbie playing. 5e is more manageable on your own.
qtRaven
I cast Shatter.
mebe21
As a Dm, I HATED that spell. Ruins so many encounters. So broken.
boredoooolookimgur
Where’s this from? The Alchemist is my favorite Pathfinder class and didn’t know there was a DnD version.
BlackBiblio
Looks like homebrew content based on tags. Not AL legal.
DichotomusPrime
Seems like a good foundation. Would like to see more potions that aren't just copies of spells. Also the classic Jekyll/Hyde mutagen build.
DichotomusPrime
(Yes I know the latter is in Pathfinder, but it has its own issues)
Voltrondestroyerofcpu
Waaaiit...is this not the pathfinder Alchemist?
Eightbitnovik
They used the art from pathfinder that makes it confusing.
Voltrondestroyerofcpu
With 5E and PF being so established. Can they even use the Sam art...two difderent games/company. The pages look like it came out the 5E boo
ColonelColon
No, its the much lamer version that doesn't have Jekyll and Hyde
mrlemonofbanana
And they should have used a variation of the Warlock's Spell system for Elixirs instead of that weird Brew Potions thingy.
xyster2202718
Truth, nothing like turning Hyde, gaining a size, then beating a motherfucker with another motherfucker using improvised weapon
utdrmac
@OP got link to original or a PDF?
Dicelord
Sorry, I tried to find one but it wasn’t there.

Thanks! Your help is appreciated.
strugglesnuggler
As a fan of the pathfinder alchemist... this is an abomination. Where's the Vivisectionist? The homunculist? The Winged Marauder?
strugglesnuggler
Come to think of it, where the fuck is Hyde?
DichotomusPrime
You could... make them as Fields of Study? Or add them as potion formulae
strugglesnuggler
But seriously, very fun class, (and way better in Pathfinder cause it's just so damn flexible).
threepwood007
Just made one for a game; using the Ectoplasmic Master 'cause spooky ghoooooosts
strugglesnuggler
I'm doing a homunculist now, little nerfed but took Craft Poppets and refluffed them as fleshlings, it's a fun weird build.
SoIHeardYouGuysLikeReposts
The vivisectionist with haste, rapid reload, two weapons fighting and fast bombs means that I am THE highest DPS in my party. It's absurd.
Sheepyhead
How are you using bombs as a vivisectionist?
Chroven
Vivisectionist loses bombs tho
NickPimpslap
How many Alchemy Points do you get per level? When do they refresh? How long do bombs take to make? Does a doctor stick come with the mask?
Pukako
Yes. Or, you decide.
hjguy12
1/2 your level, during a long rest. It's mentioned under the brew potions feature.
NickPimpslap
That seems to be a restriction on the total alchemy points you can spend to brew those potions, not the total you get.
hjguy12
It's the only time it's mentioned, though, and it seems to make sense with how other classes with similar resources work.

NickPimpslap
I think the issue here is that the class as presented above just isn't fleshed out, or is incompletely adapted from Pathfinder.
NickPimpslap
Other classes usually have scaling points per level when it comes to consumable resources. Like Sorcery Points or Barbarian Rages.
MissCinder
Is this for 5e?
ChibiYui
Unfortunately
WarDragon1984
5e, converted from Pathfinder.
Dicelord
Yes.
Pukako
I'm converting it to Dragon Warriors, so thanks.
DagothWit
What book is it in?
NickPimpslap
It's a homebrew, so it isn't.
