Apothecary

AKA Plague Doctor / Medicine Man / Pathologist

“Don’t worry, this will probably work… probably”

Apothecaries are holistic medicine specialists that don’t use magical means to support their
allies and themselves. Their treatments are just as potent, if not more so, but come with a side
effect. Aiding their allies and harming their enemies with their different concoctions, they know
how to mend any injury or apply debilitating side effects before launching a counter offensive.

Character Building Questions

● Was your discovery of medicine an accident - or deliberate?
● Do you treat your research as who you are or as just a means to an end?
● Do you let magic discourage you from your research or let your work speak for
itself?
● How do you administer your remedies?

Apothecary Free Benefits

● Increase your maximum Inventory Points increase by 2.
● You may start Projects to create unique medicines; they are always
consumable and their area is based on the number and type of creatures you
need to cure.

Tinctures

Vials
When you discover a tincture, it is placed inside of a vial for future use. Vials are an
abstract container for ease of tracking whose appearance varies based on your
character’s look: they may be standard glass tubes, stones imbued with magical
properties, or otherworldly creatures you keep inside of a capture device that represent
the various remedies you have acquired.

Using Tinctures
Tinctures do not require an action, but can only be used before or after an action, and
only once per turn. When you do so, you spend Mind Points in order to apply the effects
of that tincture to the target.
● Every tincture requires you to spend Mind Points equal to its cost.
● Every tincture has an Amplified effect that can be used by erasing 1 section of
your Dosage Clock.
 ● If a tincture’s effect involves Hit Point and/or Mind Point loss and/or recovery, the
amount increases by 10 if you are level 20 or higher, or by 20 if you are level 40
or higher.

The Dosage Clock

When you gain the Tincture Skill, you also receive a Dosage Clock which interacts
with your tinctures.
● Your Dosage Clock has 4 sections and begins filled.
● When you use one of your tinctures, you can erase 1 section of your Dosage
Clock to amplify the effects of your tincture.
● Your Dosage Clock determines how many times you can amplify your tinctures
effects. You can still use your tinctures when the Clock is empty.
● All Sections of your Dosage Clock may only be filled while resting in a
settlement or through effects that expressly influence Dosage Clocks, and they
may only be erased by amplifying tinctures or Apothecary skills.

Tincture List
Below and in the next pages you will find a list of standard tinctures that each
Apothecary can discover by investing levels into the Tinctures Skill.

Your group can also collaboratively create new tinctures, and the Game Master may
opt to include them among rewards, obtained independently of your investment in
Tinctures. Each tincture is worth approximately 1000 zenit; try your best to keep any
new tinctures on a similar power to those on the standard list.
