One comment on ...Hey James, thanks for the review!<br /><br />One comment on the transmutation ability: I thought it was open-ended and powerful enough to equate it with the "wish" ability, so that's why it comes so late.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05334071256551332865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-57028811331419556832010-01-30T13:41:00.508-05:002010-01-30T13:41:00.508-05:00I've been using the Bard Games version of the ...<i>I've been using the Bard Games version of the Alchemist class for over 20yrs.</i><br /><br>Ah, Bard Games!

Very handy class. The BG version has one basic spell that all alchemists learn to activate the "rare earths" in their concoctions. That keeps non-alchemists from just looking up a "recipe" and whipping up the often powerful compounds. BG's "Charlatan" class sounds very similar to EGG's idea for a "Mountebank" class. I;ve had one player play one and his PC was a big hit.deucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10050461841969254354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-71209680369165698732010-01-30T01:26:53.439-05:002010-01-30T01:26:53.439-05:00Interesting, this looks like a similar take to my ...Interesting, this looks like a similar take to my own Alchaemist for AD&D/OSRIC.<br /><br />http://oldguardgamingaccoutrements.blogspot.com/2009/10/alchaemist-magic-user-subclass-for-ad.htmlE.G.Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10229893317543621720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-91909362799006136762010-01-29T20:49:01.382-05:002010-01-29T20:49:01.382-05:00http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishi...http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/pathfinder/pathfinderRPG/advancedPlayersGuidePlaytest/round3<br /><br />Paizo has already been playtesting an Alchemist class for their Pathfinder game (3e).
