Welcome to the PF2e Alchemist Remaster Duct tape wiki!

[!IMPORTANT] PF2e system has been updated with the Player Core 2 Alchemist features. This module still functions and provides added functionality and quality of life features aimed to streamline playing Alchemist.

This module was originally created to be a hot-fix for some Remaster Alchemist functionality, mainly Quick Alchemy (using versatile vials to craft infused alchemical items rather than reagents), in Foundry until the official update was released. It has grown from suggestions of the community and now it has more features.

Explaining Quick Alchemy, Versatile Vials, "Quick Vials", "Field Vials", etc.

Supported Features

This module implements features using the following "sub-modules":

• Quick Alchemy – Macro tool to craft infused alchemical items using versatile vials. Support for Double Brew feat and expanded functionality for Field Vials and Healing Bombs.

• Alchemist Feats

  • Powerful Alchemy – Will monitor crafted infused items, and if relevant will update the item description, including inline checks to use the Alchemist Class DC for saves if the character has the Powerful Alchemy feat.
  • Double Brew – Quick Alchemy macro will prompt to make an additional item using Double Brew.
  • Debilitating Bomb – Will monitor crafted infused items and if relevant, will update the item description to include the debilitating bomb effect and saving throw.
  • Healing Bombs – Healing bombs are now fully supported. When using a Quick Vial for a healing item, the module creates a ranged Strike with proper tags (Alchemical, Consumable, Healing, Splash). Includes support for Greater Field Discovery: Chirurgeon (Automatically applies maximum healing). Splash Healing support.

• Vial Search – Will monitor game world time. When 10 minutes or more pass, it will prompt in chat to "find" versatile vials and add them to inventory. Supports Alchemical Expertise feat.

• Level Up – Monitors when an Alchemist levels up, and adds higher-level versions of known formulas. For example, if a character knows Elixir of Life (Minor), when they reach level 5 it adds Elixir of Life (Lesser) formula.

• Formula Search – Adds a search bar to the crafting tab for formulas to help filter and locate known recipes.

• Localization – All chat messages, settings, tooltips, and labels are localized. Currently supports English (en), Polish (pl), and Brazilian Portuguese (pt-BR). Community translations are welcome!

• Homebrew Alchemical Support – The module now better supports custom homebrew alchemical items, including healing bombs and poison vials, as long as they use standard PF2E item flags and system fields.
