Alchemist Miniatures

About

Alchemists are practitioners who combine scientific methodology with magical theory to transform raw materials into potions, explosives, poisons, and experimental compounds that produce effects ranging from healing to devastation. Their work sits at the intersection of arcane study and empirical research — part scholar, part engineer, part field operative — and their effectiveness depends as much on preparation and resource management as on ability in direct confrontation. Subfields within alchemy span medicinal brewing, volatile munitions, mutagenic self-experimentation, and the ancient pursuit of transmuting base materials into precious ones. In fantasy RPG settings, alchemists serve as suppliers to adventuring parties, researchers in arcane institutions, military contractors who produce alchemical weapons for standing armies, and independent operators whose volatile experiments make them unwelcome in densely populated areas. They appear in campaigns involving plague outbreaks, siege warfare, black market trade in restricted substances, and the consequences of research conducted without adequate regard for safety or ethics.
