You’ve discovered how to concoct extraordinary wonders, combining natural and alchemical components to create something greater than the sum of its parts.
|
||
|
||
You might have learned to transform one substance into another through careful study, had the secrets of poisons and potions passed down to you from a mentor, or stumbled onto alchemical formulas while trying to survive in harsh circumstances. Once you mastered the alchemical arts, you might have offered your knowledge to all or sequestered yourself to search for new truths, might have become a resource to those in need or offered your creations to the highest bidder. Whatever the outcome of your work, you gained an understanding along the way of how the essences of the world could be distilled, combined, and transformed.

| d8 | Adventuring Motivation |
|
||
| 1 | Adventuring is the best way to earn coin to buy new materials for my work. |
|
||
| 2 | After supplying so many adventurers for their journeys, I felt compelled to go on some of my own. |
|
||
| 3 | I created a substance for someone who used it in a way I never intended. Adventuring gives me a way to atone for my mistake. |
|
||
| 4 | I found a secret so dangerous that other alchemists placed a bounty on my head. Adventuring might help me escape with my life. |
|
||
| 5 | I was asked to deliver one of my creations to a dangerous battlefield and found myself drawn to the challenge of adventure. |
|
||
| 6 | The things I encounter while adventuring give me inspiration for new discoveries and creations. |
|
||
| 7 | There is a rare substance that I need to create my crowning achievement, and adventuring can get me closer to it. |
|
||
| 8 | While experimenting with alchemy, I altered myself. The adventurers’ life is the only one that fits the new me. | |
