Dawnsbury Days 3.58 (alchemist update)

[p]This update adds the alchemist class:[/p][p][/p][p]The alchemist has a number of reagent batches per day. These can be used at morning preparations in advanced alchemy to create a large number of varied alchemical items (there are 50+ such items in Dawnsbury Days base game):[/p][p][/p][p]Or, the alchemist can also create any alchemical item on-the-fly in the middle of battle. This costs extra reagents (and of course, an ːoneactionː action), but gives you more flexibility and allows you to create bombs with additives which have extra power:[/p][p][/p][p]The alchemist is the 17th class to be added to the Dawnsbury Days base game, and, if we include mods, Dawnsbury Days is now class-complete 💛.[/p][p]Full patch notes follow:[/p][p]Character content:[/p]
