Alchemy 1

Alchemy 1(Wizard, 3)
Ability: Intelligence
Modifier: ‐2
Allows a chance to identify potions, poisons & recognize potential ingredients for alchemical potions (said ingredients being useful parts of recently slain creatures or discovered plants). A character making a proficiency check can properly identify potions and poisons correctly. Failure indicates that the character cannot properly identify the potion in question. Failing the proficiency check when sampling poison is handled differently: the character must make a save vs poison for failure, though they do get a +2 bonus to the save (in addition to any other bonuses, based on the poison type). Failing on a natural 20 when attempting to identify poisons of any type removes the +2 bonus to the poison save that is required for failing the proficiency check. Please note that this proficiency does not allow brewing of potions, poisons etc. if taken on its own.
