This is a list of all the alchemical creations available in the game, either for sale, or as craftable items.

Alchemical items are similar to [[Magic Potions]], and [[Lay Magic]], but represent a third option for wondrous items and effects. At the GM's discretion, Alchemical items may be considered either magical or non-magical, to better fit into whatever game world they are crafting.

Regardless of their magical nature (or not), Alchemical items can have very potent effects, and for the most potent, be very expensive. All Alchemical items are expended upon use, and if an Alchemical item has multiple uses listed among its effects, once it has been partially consumed it cannot be used for any purpose that requires a full flask.

Alchemical flasks, when carried by a player or NPC, are considered Attended Objects, and have a Durability of 1, thus being immune to hit point damage. This effect renders them invulnerable to most rough handling while being carried, but if a vast treasure trove of flasks is found unattended, some care is warranted around them if Sunders and Burns and the like are being used.

Alchemical Flasks are often available for purchase from merchants, subject to GM approval.

{{EquipmentPageAid|Smoke Pellet}}
===Smoke Pellet===
* '''Cost:''' 25 gp
* '''Weight:''' -
* '''Craftable?''' Yes
** '''Skill:''' Craft (Alchemy)   
** '''Check DC:''' 20

This small clay sphere contains two alchemical substances separated by a thin barrier. When you break the sphere, the substances mingle and fill a 10-foot cube with a cloud of foul but harmless yellow smoke. You may throw a smoke pellet as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet.

The smoke fills a 10-foot cube and obscures all sight-based senses, including [[darkvision]], beyond 5 feet. When using sight-based senses to target creatures within the effect, any creature within 5 feet has [[partial concealment]] of its perceiver, while creatures farther away have [[total concealment]].

Any dispersing effect, including natural winds or gusts greater than 10 mph, can immediately end the effect in whichever squares the dispersing effect is applied.  Otherwise, the cloud persists until the end of the encounter, or for 1 minute, whichever is sooner.

{{EquipmentPageAid|Tanglefoot Bag}}
===Tanglefoot Bag===
* '''Cost:''' 50 gp
* '''Weight:''' 4 lbs
* '''Craftable?''' Yes
** '''Skill:''' Craft (Alchemy)   
** '''Check DC:''' 40

A tanglefoot bag is a small sack filled with tar, resin, and other sticky substances. When you throw a tanglefoot bag at a creature (as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet), the bag comes apart and goo bursts out, entangling the target and then becoming tough and resilient upon exposure to air. An entangled creature takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls and a -4 penalty to Dexterity and must make a DC 15 Reflex save or be glued to the floor, unable to move. Even on a successful save, it can move only at half speed. Huge or larger creatures are unaffected by a tanglefoot bag. A flying creature is not stuck to the floor, but it must make a DC 15 Reflex save or be unable to fly (assuming it uses its wings to fly) and fall to the ground. A tanglefoot bag does not function underwater.

A creature that is glued to the floor (or unable to fly) can break free by making a DC 17 Strength check or by dealing 15 points of damage to the goo with a slashing weapon. A creature trying to scrape goo off itself, or another creature assisting, does not need to make an attack roll; hitting the goo is automatic, after which the creature that hit makes a damage roll to see how much of the goo was scraped off. Once free, the creature can move (including flying) at half speed. If the entangled creature attempts to cast a spell, it must make [[Caster Check]] with a DC of 15 + double the spell's level or be unable to cast the spell. The goo becomes brittle and fragile after 2d4 rounds, cracking apart and losing its effectiveness. An application of alchemical solvent to a stuck creature dissolves the alchemical goo immediately.

{{EquipmentPageAid|Thunderstone}}
===Thunderstone===
* '''Cost:''' 30 gp
* '''Weight:''' 1 lb
* '''Craftable?''' Yes
** '''Skill:''' Craft (Alchemy)   
** '''Check DC:''' 40

You can throw this stone as a ranged attack with a range increment of 10 feet. When it strikes a hard surface (or is struck hard), it creates a deafening bang that is treated as a sonic attack. Each creature within a 10-foot-radius spread must make a DC 15 Fortitude save or be deafened for 1 hour. A deafened creature, in addition to the obvious effects, takes a -4 penalty on initiative and has a 20% chance to miscast and lose any spell with a verbal component that it tries to cast.

Since you don't need to hit a specific target, you can simply aim at a particular 5-foot square. Treat the target square as AC 5.

{{EquipmentPageAid|Tindertwig}}
===Tindertwig===
* '''Cost:''' 1 gp
* '''Weight:''' -
* '''Craftable?''' Yes
** '''Skill:''' Craft (Alchemy)   
** '''Check DC:''' 15

The alchemical substance on the end of this small, wooden stick ignites when struck against a rough surface. Creating a flame with a tindertwig is much faster than creating a flame with flint and steel (or a magnifying glass) and tinder. Lighting a torch with a tindertwig is a standard action (rather than a full-round action), and lighting any other fire with one is at least a standard action.


{{EquipmentPageAid|Vitus Flask}}

===Vitus Flask===
* '''Cost:''' 80 gp
* '''Weight:''' 1/2 lb
* '''Craftable?''' Yes
** '''Skill:''' Craft (Alchemy)   
** '''Check DC:''' 25

Drinking this crystal-clear liquid accelerates the natural process of healing Constitution damage. Resting for 1 hour after drinking a vial heals the drinker of 1 point of Constitution damage as if the drinker had benefited from a full night's rest. Taking multiple doses in an hour does not increase the rate of healing; as each dose must be taken individually, followed by an hour of rest, for it to have any effect. Using more than 4 doses in 1 day has no effect.
