Personality: I am driven to discover secrets, lost treasure, and other hidden things.

 

Ideals: Friendship.

 

Bonds: I love and am proud of my alchemy shop and, as it is kind of run down and shabby, am committed to improving it.

 

Flaws: I’m easily distracted by beautiful women, especially soft, quiet, dark-haired ones, and will often pay attention to them to the detriment of what I’m supposed to be doing.

 

Feat: Skilled (Language: Draconic, Athletics, Perception).

 

Defect: Haunted. Paros is followed by the ghost of a pre-Cataclysm Koan woman who thinks he is her husband and who will turn up at inconvenient times and give him disadvantage on a single attack, ability check, or saving throw (typically once per session). Paros can use Inspiration once per session as an offset to this.

 

Backstory: “Alchemical Rogue” Paros is a native of Kos City and is well acquainted with its streets and inhabitants. He is a skilled locksmith who is also adept at find and disabling traps and other hazards. Much of his time is spent, however, honing his skills as an alchemist, and he specializes in creating substances that can help him during his adventures. He is moderately devoted to the god Hermes.

 

 

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.
