Path of the Mutator

Brew Potion

• Requirements: Craft (Alchemy) 3, 10 EXP

You may create a Potion of any spell which you know and that targets one or more creatures or objects. See the Magic Items page for more information about Potions.

If you do not know the spell, you may still create a potion of it if you are sufficiently skilled. Select the higher of your BaB or CL, and use it as your CL to determine what Spells you may access. To create a potion without knowing the spell, you must first research the Formula. This takes 10 hours per Spell Tier of the desired spell. Once done, you may make potions of that spell without further research impediments.

All potion formulae must be stored in a Formula Book. Creating the Formula itself has no TU cost, it is solely a time expenditure.

Mutagen (Ex)

• Requirements: Craft (Alchemy) 5 or Survival 5 or Heal 5, CL 4 or HD 4, 35 EXP

You learn how to make a potent brew to empower yourself, known as a Mutagen. It takes 1 hour to brew a dosage of mutagen, and once created it remains potent until used. However, you may only maintain one dose of mutagen at a time - if you create a second dosage, any existing doses become inert. Your mutagen only works on you - if someone other than you drinks your mutagen, they must make a Fortitude Save (DC 10 + 1/2 your HD or CL, whichever is greater + your Primary Casting Attribute) to avoid becoming nauseated for the duration. Consuming a Mutagen is a Full Round action. You may only have one Mutagen active at a time.

When brewing a Mutagen, it has three “slots” to put Mutations into. These can not be changed once the Mutagen is brewed and it must be remade if you wish to change the Mutations. If you select the same Mutation three times or more, you also must select an Instability as well. For every additional duplicate of the Mutation you select you must select another Instability. You may select the same Instability multiple times, the effects stack.

Mutagen gives the following base Mutations to choose from:

• Ability Enhancement: You gain a +2 enhancement bonus to one ability score
• Armored Flesh: You gain a +2 enhancement bonus to your AC

Mutagen gives the following base Instabilities to choose from:

• Ability Decay: You take a -2 penalty one one ability score
