Norman Lindsay - The Cautious Amorist, 1932, pen and ink Norman Alfred Williams Lindsay (1879 – 1969) was a versatile and prolific Australian artist, working as a painter, cartoonist, illustrator, etcher, sculptor and author. Lindsay was masterful with his drawing and painting technique, but his talent was often overshadowed by the controversy created by his works depicting paganism, eroticism, and attacking society's attitudes and morals. Lindsay was born in Creswick, Victoria and moved with his family to Melbourne. He tried attending drawing classes at the National Gallery School but quit after a few months. He began drawing for newspapers and worked as a ghost illustrator for his brother Lionel. Norman later attended life drawing classes and Lionel taught him how to etch. Norman focused on light and colour as he developed proficiency in watercolour and oils. Lindsay moved to New South Wales in 1901 where he worked for many years as the chief cartoonist for the Sydney Bulletin, his works often commenting on politics and society. His first novel was published in 1913. Lindsay became the highest paid Australian artist of is time.

Alchemist: Amorist

The study of mind-affecting alchemy is a delicate one, practiced only by a small number of Alchemists, known as Amorists. Often called "love doctors" by their clientele, Amorists specialize in the brewing of potions that produce strong emotional responses in their drinkers. While love potions are by far their most popular product, Amorists can also craft pungent pheromone bombs that can even soften the hearts of terrible monsters.

Level 3 Charmer: You gain proficiency in Deception and Persuasion. Additionally, when you make a Charisma check using these skills, you can make it as an Intelligence check.

When you brew potions, you can create a Philter of Love for 1 Reagent.

Level 3 Pheromone Bomb (Formula): By adding a potent pheromone to your Bomb, you can change it into a Pheromone Bomb. This Bomb deals no damage. When you use the Bomb's Explode property, each creature within the explosion makes a Wisdom saving throw, instead of Dexterity. A target hit by this Bomb or that fails its saving throw against it has the Charmed condition until the start of your next turn or until it takes damage.

Level 6 Magnetic Personality: You can take the Influence action as a Bonus Action.

Level 10 Beguiling Perfume: You wear a mind-altering perfume that endears others to you. When an enemy within 5 feet of you makes an attack roll against you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your Alchemist save DC or either choose a new target or lose the attack. A creature that takes damage from you is immune to this feature for 1 hour.

Level 14 Alchemical Romance: When you use your Pheromone Bomb, you can expend 1-4 Reagents to improve it. Choose a number of benefits equal to the number of Reagents expended.

Dreamy Haze. Choose one creature that has the Bomb's Charmed condition. While Charmed, that creature falls into a dreamy state in which it regards every creature it sees as the condition's charmer.

Extended Charm. Choose one creature that has the Bomb's Charmed condition. The Charmed condition lasts for 1 minute for it or until it takes damage.

Ignore Immunity. Your Pheromone Bomb ignores Immunity to the Charmed condition.

Toxic Love. A target hit by your Pheromone Bomb or that fails its saving throw against it takes Poison damage equal to 4d8 plus your Intelligence modifier. A creature takes half as much damage on a successful save. This damage doesn't end the Bomb's Charmed condition.

Amorist

The study of mind-affecting alchemy is a delicate one, practiced only by a small number of alchemists, known as amorists. Often called “love doctors” by their clientele, amorists specialize in the brewing of potions that produce strong emotional responses in their drinkers. While love potions are by far their most popular product, amorists can also craft pungent pheromone bombs that can even soften the hearts of terrible monsters.

BONUS PROFICIENCIES When you choose this field of study at 2nd level, you gain proficiency in the Deception and Persuasion skills.

FORMULA: PHEROMONE BOMB Starting at 2nd level, you can replace your bomb’s explosive contents with a potent pheromone, changing it into a pheromone bomb. A pheromone bomb requires a Wisdom saving throw, instead of a Dexterity saving throw. The bomb deals no damage, and instead causes the target, as well as each creature within the blast radius that fails its saving throw, to be charmed by you until the end of its turn or until it takes damage.

MAGNETIC PERSONALITY Starting at 6th level, you can add your Intelligence modifier to Charisma checks that you make.

ALCHEMICAL PERFUME Beginning at 10th level, you wear an aromatic, mind-altering perfume that endears others to you. When a hostile creature within 5 feet of you makes an attack roll against you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your bomb save DC or have disadvantage on the attack roll. Once a creature succeeds on this saving throw, it is immune to this effect for 24 hours. A target automatically succeeds on this saving throw if it can’t be charmed.

ALCHEMICAL ROMANCE Starting at 18th level, during a long rest, you can spend 4 reagent dice to make an extremely potent potion of true love. This potion acts much like a philter of love, except that when you make the potion, you choose the creature the target regards as its true love, provided the target knows the creature or meets it within 24 hours of consuming the potion. Additionally, this effect lasts indefinitely, ended only when you make a new potion of true love, or the effect is removed with a remove curse spell or similar magic. When this potion’s effects are ended on a target, it regards the creature it once loved with total disgust, and can never love that creature again.
