IMPROVED ALCHEMICAL SUBSTANCES

As an alchemist and the owner of a shop laboratory, Paros is capable of creating alchemical substances that are more potent than those commonly available off-the-shelf to characters. Following are the characteristics of these improved alchemical substances.

 

Acid II: As an action, you can splash the contents of this vial onto a creature within 5 feet of you or throw the vial up to 20 feet, shattering it on impact. In either case, make a ranged attack against a creature or object, treating the acid as an improvised weapon. On a hit, the target takes 3d6 acid damage.

 

Alchemist’s Fire II: This sticky, adhesive fluid ignites when exposed to air. As an action, you can throw this flask up to 20 feet, shattering it on impact. Make a ranged attack against a creature or object, treating the alchemist’s fire as an improvised weapon. On a hit, the target takes 2d4 fire damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature can end this damage by using its action to make a DC 11 Dexterity check to extinguish the flames.

 

Antitoxin II: A creature that drinks this vial of liquid gains advantage on saving throws against poison for 2 hours. It confers no benefit to undead or constructs.
