Alchemist Subclasses: Venomsmith

For every Alchemist that devotes their life to healing the sick, another hears a darker calling. Commonly called poisoners or Venomsmiths, these Alchemists are masters in the art of crafting deadly and debilitating poisons. Whether employed by an assassin's guild or performing assassinations themselves, a Venomsmith's presence is usually accompanied by untimely death.

Level 3 Poisoner: You gain the Alchemy of Poison discovery and can ignore the prerequisite of Alchemist level 5 for brewing poisons. This discovery doesn't count against your number of discoveries known, and you can't later replace this discovery with a different one.

Level 3 Laughing Gas Bombs: You gain the Laughing Gas Bomb formula, which doesn't count against your total number of formulae known. If you already have it, gain another formula of your choice. For you, the Bomb is improved in the following ways.

Improved Damage. All of this Bomb's damage dice are d10s.

Side-Splitter. A creature that rolls a 1 on the d20 for its saving throw against the Explode property of this Bomb has the Prone condition and its Speed is 0 until the start of your next turn.

Level 6 Alchemical Assassin: You have a specially-designed needle ring for poisoning others. You can use a Bonus Action to deal 1 Piercing damage to a creature within 5 feet of you, subjecting the creature to contact and injury poisons on the ring. You have Advantage on Sleight of Hand and Stealth checks made to conceal and use this ring.

Level 10 Mithridatism: By administering small doses of poisons and toxins to yourself, you have Immunity to Poison damage and the Poisoned condition.

Level 14 Toxic Recompense: Whenever a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack, you can take a Reaction to unleash a spray of poisonous vapor. The attacker must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your Alchemist save DC or have the Poisoned condition for 1 minute. While it has the condition, the creature takes 1d10 Poison damage at the start of each of its turns. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Venomsmith

For every alchemist that has devoted their life to healing the sick and infirm, there is another with a darker calling. Commonly called poisoners or venomsmiths, these alchemists are masters in the art of crafting deadly and debilitating poisons. Whether employed by an assassin’s guild or performing assassinations themselves, a venomsmith’s presence is usually accompanied by untimely death.

POISONER Beginning when you choose this field of study at 2nd level, you gain the Poisoner discovery. Until you reach 3rd level, you have 2 reagent dice, which you can spend only on crafting poisons using this discovery. This discovery doesn’t count against your number of discoveries known, and you can’t later replace this discovery with a different one when you gain a level in this class. Additionally, when you deal poison damage to a creature, you ignore resistance to poison damage and you treat immunity to poison damage as resistance instead, dealing half damage.

FORMULA: VENOM BOMB At 2nd level, you can mix a few drops of a fastacting toxin into your bomb’s explosive components, changing it into a venom bomb. A venom bomb deals poison damage instead of fire damage, its damage dice are d8s, and it requires a Constitution saving throw instead of a Dexterity saving throw. Additionally, the target, as well as each creature within the blast radius that fails its saving throw, has disadvantage on the next Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution saving throw it makes before the end of its next turn.

ALCHEMICAL ASSASSIN Beginning at 6th level, you are adept at applying poisons without being seen. You have advantage on Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) checks you make to add ingested poison to food or drink, to apply poison to a weapon you are holding without being seen, or to place a vial of poison on another creature without it noticing.

MITHRIDATISM By 10th level, by administering yourself small doses of various poisons and toxins, you have developed an immunity to their ravages. You have immunity to poison damage and can’t be poisoned.

TOXIC RECOMPENSE Starting at 18th level, whenever a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to unleash a spray of poisonous vapor. The attacker must make a Constitution saving throw against your bomb save DC or be poisoned for 1 minute. While poisoned, the creature takes 1d10 poison damage at the start of each of its turns. A poisoned creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
