Chemist

Class: Apothecary

A Chemist is a studied scientist whose advanced research in to chemical compounds has granted them the ability to terrorize their enemies with alchemical explosions, devastating gasses, and other horrific concoctions. Chemists love testing their new compounds in the field, and are always keen to advance their study and research further, finding new combinations to combust their foes with.

Features

Level 3: Chemical Compound

You gain proficiency in Alchemist’s Supplies if you do not already have it. You also learn the Firebolt cantrip and one additional evocation cantrip of your choice from the wizard spell list. These cantrips count as Apothecary cantrips for you, but do not count against your cantrips known.

Level 3: Chemist Spells

When you reach an Apothecary level specified in the Chemist Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.

Chemist Spells
Apothecary LevelSpells
3Burning Hands, Grease, Flaming Sphere, Melf's Acid Arrow
5Fireball, Stinking Cloud
7Ice Storm, Wall of Fire
9Cloudkill, Cone of Cold

Level 3: Precise Application

When you cast a spell that deals Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Poison damage to other creatures that you can see, you can choose a number of them equal to your Intelligence modifier. The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against the spell, and they take no damage if they would normally take half damage on a successful save.

Level 6: Chain Reaction

When you cast an Apothecary cantrip that normally targets only one creature and deals Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Poison damage, the spell can instead target two creatures that are within the spell’s range.

Level 6: Chemical Conditioning

As a Magic action, you give one creature you touch (including possibly yourself) resistance to Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Poison damage for 1 hour. This benefit ends immediately if you use this feature again.

Level 10: Bottled Spells

You can store a spell from your Chemist Spells feature as a liquid in a small vial or bottle you touch when you cast the spell. The spell has no effect other than to be stored in the bottle. The spell remains stored inside until a creature opens the bottle. Once you use this feature, any unused bottled spell you previously created becomes inert, and you can’t bottle another spell until you finish a Short Rest. Any creature holding the bottle may spend a Magic action to open it and cast the spell inside. The spell uses your spell attack bonus and save DC, but the spell treats the creature who released it as the caster in all other respects.

Level 14: Elemental Adjustment

When you cast a spell using an Apothecary spell slot which deals a type of damage from the following list, you can change that damage type to one of the other listed types: Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Poison.

Level 18: Chemical Cataclysm

When you cast a spell that deals Acid, Cold, Fire, Lighting, or Poison damage using an Apothecary spell slot, it is treated as if it was cast using a level 7 spell slot.
