Open Alchemy

Non-magical crafters

Many of the feats here will refer to your Spellcasting Ability Score. If you do not have a spellcasting ability, use intelligence instead.

Complex Mixtures

The Wilderness Survival Guide works for creating simple products, however, those who are proficient in the relevant are capable of creating more complex devices. When creating a mixture, use the element map seen below.

Element Maps

The drawing of an element map is part of the process an alchemist, herbalist or artificer must undertake when preparing their spells. When you have selected which spells you will prepare, draw a spell map according to the following rules:

• Draw a node representing each the Element elements of the same type. The connections must form an unlooped chain with open ends, such that each element is connected to two others, except for the ends of the chain which are connected to only one. For example, for four elements, connect the nodes as follows: o-o-o-o.
• Draw additional-line connections equal to your proficiency bonus (if you are proficient in the tools you are using).
• Connections must not cross any other connections you have drawn.
• If you are unable to draw a straight-line connection which fits these rules, you may have to re-configure your pattern of nodes. If it is not possible to draw a potential connection under these rules, you cannot benefit from that connection.

Complexity

Complex mixtures are not meant to be created mid-session in the same way that simple mixtures are. A complex mixture should be something discussed with your GM in between sessions whilst your characters are in some form of downtime. Complex mixtures are designed to be custom items that reward a player following a particular pursuit of craftings, such as a chef or golemancer.

Tool-based mixtures

Depending on which tools you use to create a mixture, you may require different ingredients that create different effects:

Expanding Choices

Whilst these mixture lists are designed to work with that tool set, sometimes it may be suitable to change the lists around. For example, a turret made by tinker's tools might want to pick from the Woodcarver's Tools set.
