Research Field

Your inquiries into the alchemical nature of the universe have led you to focus on a particular field of research.
You might have a degree from an scientific institute, correspond with other researchers in your field, or work as a genius loner. Choose a field of research. The research fields presented in this book are as follows.

Bomber

You specialize in explosions and other violent alchemical reactions. You start with the formulas for two 1st-level alchemical bombs in your formula book, in addition to your other formulas.
When throwing an alchemical bomb with the splash trait, you can deal splash damage to only your primary target instead of the usual splash area.

Chirurgeon

You concentrate on Healing others with alchemy.
You start with the formulas for two of the following in your formula book, in addition to your other formulas: lesser antidote, lesser antiplague, or lesser elixir of life.
As long as your proficiency rank in Medicine is trained or better, you can attempt a Crafting check instead of a Medicine check for any of Medicine’s untrained and trained uses.

Mutagenist

You focus on bizarre mutagenic transformations that sacrifice one aspect of a creature’s physical or psychological being in order to strengthen another.
You start with the formulas for two 1st-level mutagens in your formula book, in addition to your other formulas.
You can gain the benefit of any mutagen, even if it wasn’t specifically brewed for you. Whenever your proficiency rank for simple weapons increases, your proficiency rank for unarmed attacks increases to the same rank unless it’s already better.
