## Alchemist

Spellcaster. While Smiths are toilers of the flesh, Alchemists are toilers of the mind. Like their potables, Alchemists come in many flavors, ranging from hermit mystics brewing unknown elixirs, to disciplined urban proto-scientists and their miracle cures.

1 point

Distill Life

Spell, Recharge 2

The saying goes ‘Life is hard’. This is incorrect. Solids are hard. Life is a liquid.

Create three Health Potions which you may distribute freely to nearby party members, on a critical success, create four. Consuming a potion is an Instant Automatic action that restores three hits. A character can only hold one Health Potion at a time.

Dream Wine

Spell, Recharge 2

Brewed from a mix of alcohol and mind-altering chemicals, it is said to make you feel four-dimensional

In combat, the crit range for your next attack is increased by 2.

Outside of combat, invoke prophetic visions.

Field Kit

A good field kit contains tools for all sorts of work, including the kind those tools weren’t meant for

Forge a fake duplicate of an item with plaster or iron, melt items and incriminating bodies to nothing with powerful solvents, plate items with a thin layer of metal to make them seem dangerous or valuable, and so forth.

Alchemist Fire

Spell, Ranged, Recharge 2

Alchemist Fire can catch onto anything, even water, and produces virulent smoke.

Deals damage and lowers target’s Skill Tier by 1 for a turn. If this renders the target Helpless, it needs two successful rolls to stand back up.

Lightning Grease

Passive

Revitalizing and energizing, grease up once and you’re good to go forever. Long term side effects may apply.

When you successfully roll to stand up from helplessness, you may take an additional standard action.

2 points

Hop-Scotch

Spell, Recharge 2

A bouncy brew that sends you flying like a cannonball. Or cannon-person-shaped-object.

Jump on top of an enemy, dealing damage, and lower one remaining recharge by 1.

Acid Spray

Spell, Recharge 4

Not many good things come from leaking acid. This is one of them.

Deal damage to all enemies. All actions against affected enemies crit on 1 less next turn.

Can also be used outside combat to reduce the Skill Tier needed to break objects by 2

Experimental Alchemy

Passive

You get a little extra creative with ingredients due to curiosity or sheer cheapness. Effects may vary. Wildly.

Your Distill Life potions now also grant one of the following effects to whoever drinks it for 1 turn, chosen when the potions are made

- -1 min to succeed with all other skills
- -1 recharge to all skills
- +2 to crit range

Your Spellbound Alchemizing potions can also contain non-spell Skills.

Your Cans of Whoopass last until the user goes Helpless

Revolving Drum

Passive

Good work is rarely done fast. When it is, make the most of it.

When you critically hit, your next Alchemist skill is Instant.

3 points

Can of Whoopass

Recharge 5 when all potions have been used

Crack open a cold one, then crack open some heads.

Creates a sixpac of whoopass and passes one to everyone in the party

Consuming the can grants +1 Skill Point, +1 Hit and +1 Skill Tier until they fall below half Hits (rounding down)

Consuming a potion is an Instant Automatic action. Allied characters can only have one Whoopass Potion at a time

Spellbound Alchemizing

Automatic, Spell

Bottle up some spells for a rainy day. Or any day, really.

Create a special potion bound with any one skill point spell from any class. You may have up to three of these at a time. Casting the spell consumes the potion.

## Alchemist Multiclasses

The following skills can be picked by anyone Multiclassing with a Alchemist as one of the two parent classes

Visionary

To see into the future, even slightly, is a power anyone would risk some experimental drinks for

Passive

When you make a basic attack, you may declare the target after seeing the roll result.

Poet

Not everyone is great at making friends and finding acceptance. Luckily, there are ways to bottle love, affection and respect.

Spell, Recharge 1 after effect ends

Infatuates the target, making it more willing to help you if out of combat, or forcing it to deal any counterattack damage to other party members (unless no valid alternatives remain) in combat. Lasts three turns.

###

Experimentalist

Alchemy has countless applications, making it important to label your creations more informatively than “drink me”

Spell, Recharge 1

Grow or shrink an incapacitated, willing, or inanimate organic target with a potion. Skill Tiers, Hits and wounds are not changed by this effect, but the target will retain proportional weight to its new size.

Brewmaster

Building resistance to substances over long periods of use is normal. However, with a little aid, it is possible to build similar resistance to physical pain as well.

Spell, Recharge 2 after effect ends

Target lingers at 1 Hit rather than going Helpless the next time it normally would fall Helpless.

###

##

## Chronomancer

Mythical magi who travel time the way you walk across a room, correcting inconsistencies, preventing disasters, or manipulating the future to their own benefit. Disappointing many of those who study it, the reality of Chronomancy is more on the scale of minutes or days.

1 point

Undo

Spell, Recharge 2

Erase history, or at least the last few seconds.

Your Target jumps back to last turn, in the exact same conditions he was, both in terms of hits/wounds, position, and cooldowns.

Outside Time

Passive

Act outside the limits of time

Every time you are about to go helpless, you may take one instant action. Afterwards you take damage and go helpless as normal.

Future Strike

Spell, Recharge 1

You fire into the future

This attack will land on your target enemy 3 turns from now, but will autocrit. You have to call whether your roll will be even or odd. If you get it right, the wait time is only 2 turns.

Rebound

Spell, Recharge 3

What goes around comes around

The next time you receive counterattack damage, add the amount of hits you took as a bonus modifier to your next roll.

Freezeframe

Spell, Lasts 4 turns, Recharge 2 after effect ends.

Let’s slow things down a little

You slow down the flow of time for a given object, such as a small stream, falling rocks, or opening gates. This makes some obstacles easier to traverse, (-2 to the skill challenge difficulty), and others almost entirely immovable.

2 points

Time Capsule

Spell, recharge 3

Time is valuable, don’t waste yours.

The Target is insulated from the time for a number of turns equal to how much your roll beats their skill tier. This can work on allies, foes, and objects. While ‘bottled’ they cannot interact or be interacted with, and cannot take action. The target has no awareness of what happens during the time he is bottled.

Elsewhen

Spell, Automatic

Lets’ meet again yesterday.

Choose a place you have been to in the last day, you or a willing ally can return there at the cost of losing all you didn’t possess when you last were there. Memories are intact.

Echoes of Time

Spell

If only I could just see what happened here...

Focusing, you can see and hear the past, even the distant past, of the place you are currently standing in. This doesn’t allow you to interact or change things.

Double Time

Spell, Automatic

The clock doesn’t always tick at the same pace anymore.

By channeling this spell, you can speed up or slow down the passing of hours: however you can not do anything else while you channel this spell.

3 points

XXI

Passive

Storing movement like sand in an hourglass.

Every two turns, you gain an instant action. Said actions can all be spent in the same turn to take as many actions as you want. You start every encounter with two actions already stored. The stored actions fall to 0 at the end of each battle.

Temporal Anomaly

Passive

Flavor Text.

Sets the Recharge of all your skills to 1 unless it was 5 or more. This effect can be given to an ally as automatic action, but doing so makes it stop affecting you until you take it back.

## Chronomancer Multiclasses

The following skills can be picked by anyone Multiclassing with a Chronomancer as one of the two parent classes

Timewarden

Passive

Every enemy you send helpless becomes a temporary minion.

These minions count as 2 skill tiers below yours and break free of your control on the first failure, but also suffer counterattack damage for them.

Distortionist

Recharge 3 after effect triggers

The next time you would take counterattack damage, you instead leave an after image in your place and disappear, making you impossible to detect until you act and making your next roll Autocrit.

###

Paradox

Spell, Recharge 3

Summons a duplicate minion of yourself or the target that can hold physical objects and deal damage if they pick up weapons. This Minion has one hit and no wounds

Everliving

Automatic, Once per gameplay session

Returns to life in a safe place close to where you died. Cannot be used in combat, but will instead trigger when combat ends.

###

##

## Cultist

Privy to truths beyond the minds of most, Cultists oft endure the label of fanatic or madman.

But let them mock. They will see. They will ALL see, in the end!

1 point

Evil Twin

Recharge 3 after duplicate vanishes

Creates a magical copy of the target, which knows all the target’s skills and has its memories.

These copies are obviously fake, with a reversed color scheme and obvious magical aura, and they are prone to being stubborn. As such, an Evil Twin is 2 Skill Tiers below the caster just out of spite, but acts as a Minion otherwise. If asked for information, it may need coaxing before it becomes helpful.

The duplicate lasts until it is is killed or dismissed as an Automatic action. On a crit, the summoned Evil Twin is only 1 Tier below the caster and more helpful when spoken to.

Irrational Fear

Recharge 2 after target reverts

The target sees all things as terrifyingly powerful foes, lowering its skill tier by 1, or 2 on a crit, until someone fails to hit it, proving they aren't that scary after all. Good for spooking people outside combat too.

Narrative Madness

Recharge 3

Causes the target to talk endlessly but renders them unable to lie. It may take some skill to pick out the useful info from the unpunctuated torrent of words though. On a crit, the target can be easily guided to talk about things relevant to what you want to hear. Otherwise they just say what comes to mind.

Gift of Change

Recharge 3

The target grows a new limb, which proceeds to attack them. They suffer 1 Hit of damage each turn until they elect to sacrifice 1 Wound (or 5 hits) to cut it off, or fall Helpless.

On a crit, the mutant limb lingers until removed, even persisting through Helplessness.

Unreal Being

Recharge 2 once the being disappears

Summons an image of an impossible creature from beyond the veil of sanity. This thing cannot interact with the physical world, but you can see what it sees, speak through it and it looks very creepy. Dissipates if attacked or dismissed. Dismissing it is Instant and Automatic.

2 points

Psych Out

Recharge 3

Calls forth a distracting mental oddity in the eyes of a target.

This oddity only exists in the eyes of the caster and target, and will wholly distract the target’s attention and, in combat, their weaker counterattacks by 1. It cannot, however, fight back in any way or interact with people other than the target. It disappears when the target goes Helpless.

Sanity Loss

Recharge 3

Twists the world of an enemy, showing their allies as hungering beasts gathering on a fresh kill

Affected target will lash out against allies if they try to help him out of helplessness. When the target gets up, one of its allies will fall Helpless instead (or suffer 5 Hits). On crit, the affected target also takes 1 immediate Hit as it gets up.

Cursed Item

Recharge 5

Curses an item with horrible misfortune. Weapons cause glancing blows and shallow cuts. Armor fits poorly and restricts movement. And so forth.

Anyone wearing or using a Cursed Item suffers from awful luck. All attacks against them Autocrit, all of their failed rolls count as Critfails. They never win contests, forget their words at important moments, trip on their feet, and so forth. Effects last until they remove the cursed item.

The cursing process is obvious and takes time to do, so it cannot be used in active combat.

Sealed Pact

Sell your future fortune for some good luck here and now.

Automatic Instant, Recharge 1 after the crit fail returns to haunt you.

Gain an immediate natural crit on your other action this turn. Your next crit is a crit fail instead.

3 points

Paranoia

Recharge 3

The target is is afflicted with a gnawing paranoia

Lowers the crit limit of all actions against the target by 1 every turn until someone crits against them. This also works on out of combat actions.

Inner Demons

Recharge 5 after reverting

Transforms the target into a representation of their inner darkness.

This transformation lasts up to 5 turns or until the target falls Helpless. The target can pick three bonuses from the following list, and can pick more at the cost of 1 Wound per additional bonus, lost upon reverting. Can be used on self.

- +1 Skill Tier
- +1 Hit and +1 Wound
- +1 damage to all Skills and attacks
- +1 to all rolls
- -1 critical limit to all actions
- -1 damage taken from all sources
- -1 skill tier to all enemies struck (does not stack with itself)

## Cultist Multiclasses

The following skills can be picked by anyone Multiclassing with a Cultist as one of the two parent classes

Mad Scientist

Certain kinds of modifications to weapons and spell catalysts are forbidden for being simply too dangerous. For all parties involved.

Recharge 2

Increases an ally’s crit AND crit fail limit by 1. This can be stacked. Lasts for the duration of the battle, or until the target dismisses the effect with an Instant Automatic action.

Possessed

You are host to powers from the unknown beyond. They lend you their power, and offer a partner for conversing. All they ask in return is to feed on your sanity.

Passive

The voices you hear have limited sentience and can reveal strange facts about the world if talked to. When you go Helpless, you can keep using basic Attacks until your next failure, at which point you go Helpless as normal. This effect also ends if you are Healed. You also gain 1 Skill Tier for the duration.

###

Zealot

Blind, fanatical devotion to a single being can come off as flattering or creepy depending on presentation, but in either case it is an endless source of power to the devotee.

Passive

Pick one ally as your object of obsessive worship. You can accurately locate this target regardless of distance. If this ally falls Helpless in combat, you gain Autocrit against the enemy who caused it, until that enemy is Helpless or three successes against it if it cannot go Helpless.

Otherworlder

In touch with the beasts of the beyond, and monsters of the mortal realm, you are able to call upon the most terrifying of aid in times of need.

Spell, Recharge 4 after monster is gone

Summons a Hero Tier monster as a Minion that lasts until it misses an attack. If the caster is already Hero Tier, the monster is instead 2 tiers above the caster.

###

## Monk

A philosophy exists that regards one's body as the ultimate weapon. Monks embody this ideology in full, channeling themselves into feats of great power.

The Chi Pool:

Monks have a starting chi pool of 5, these Chi Points are used to power many skills.

You start combat with 4 chi points, Every success generates a Chi Point, and every critical hit and miss generates an additional Chi Point (A 10 will generate 2 chi, a 6 will generate 1 chi, and a 1 will generate 1 chi)

Purchasing Chi

Players may purchase additional chi points at a rate of 1 skill point for 2 chi points. These additional chi points are added to the pool and you will start combat with them. IE: spending one point to buy chi points, will result in a maximum chi pool of 7, and starting each combat with 6 / 7 chi points.

Using Chi

Chi is used to boost several skills for an added effect.

1 point

Leg Sweep

The target does not take damage from this skill.

Chi Boost: for 3 Chi

Choose another target that gets stunned for 2 turns as well, counting as helpless, until damaged.

Stances

Passive

Stances are the key to martial arts. Learning when to be firm and when to be flexible is the difference between a master and a corpse

- Crane Stance: each turn you generate 1 Chi Point
- Cross Stance: Self-inflicted helpless does not cause a wound of damage.
