Synonyms: Erudite, Philosopher, Scholar, Doctor
Special: Archetype
Alchemist is an Archetype, it is a special kind of Feat. A character can only have one Archetype in total. Apart from that, Archetypes are like normal Feats and may be taken at character creation or on any level up. On your sheet, mark Alchemist as one of your Feats and add all Feats gained separately.
Description
"This true without lying, certain and most true. That which is below is like that which is above and that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracles of one only thing (...) The Sun is its father, the moon its mother, the wind hath carried it in its belly, the earth is its nurse. The father of all perfection in the whole world is here. " Hermes Trismegistus, father of alchemy
