  Effects:The Alchemy skill has the following effects:
   * Identify Potions (Passive): Characters with exceptional ratings in the Alchemy skill can identify potions. This requires a check against a DC of 15 + twice the depth the potion is usually found at, and is only made one per potion, ever.
   * Create Alchemical Items (Active): The primary purpose of the Alchemy skill is the manufacture of alchemical items. A character with the Alchemy skill and access to an alchemy kit can create a number of different items equal to their Alchemy skill rating, albiet with a cost in both experience and time.
   * Potion Formulas (Passive): A character with the Brew Potions feat is able to create potions; the number of formulas for potions she knows is based on the average of her skill ratings in Alchemy and Knowledge (Magic). This total does not include any potions she may be able to manufacture as a result of knowing the spell the potion is based on.   * Identify Potions (Passive): When your character drinks an unknown potion, and the effect is not immediately obvious, an Alchemy check is allowed against a DC of 10 + the potion's depth in order to identify the effect that potions of that type contain.
