My list of alchemical items

[Sakusammakko]

While putting together the Alchemist class for my new Legio campaign, I created this list of concoctions that they can make. In a low-magic campaign, they serve as a stand-in for magic spells.

They are also useful items to place around the dungeon as they can't be purchased. It's been fun coming up with new descriptions of what they look, smell, feel and taste like including the kind of container they come in. PCs will have to experiment to learn the effects.

For what it's worth...

I haven't had a chance to read everything here, but at first glance you have some good stuff here. Especially in a low magic world like I tend to use.
