Alchemist

Where others see weeds, ash, and dust, an Alchemist sees possibility. They wander the world with bulging pouches, scavenging ingredients from swamp muck, mountain stone, or slain beast. Their lives are a constant symphony of hisses, pops, and bubbling flasks, as each discovery demands to be tested—preferably on something (or someone) nearby.

Alchemists are curious to a fault. Some are bright-eyed wanderers who marvel at every sprig of moss and glowing mushroom; others are gaunt scholars muttering formulas through cracked lips, chasing perfection one explosion at a time. Whatever their temperament, they are endlessly resourceful, fashioning tools, potions, and poisons for any occasion.

On the battlefield, an Alchemist is never predictable. One moment they are hurling fiery explosives, the next they are clouding the air with choking fumes, or mending a wounded ally with a draught of shimmering liquid. They are not specialists, but versatile survivors who thrive on improvisation and preparation.
