The Compleat Alchemist (Second Edition)

This roleplaying supplement explores alchemy as a bridge between science and magic, covering the knowledge and skills used to transmute materials, isolate elemental essences, and create artificial life. It includes alchemical ingredients and their properties, along with descriptions of potions, substances, and other items that alchemists can produce. A gamemaster's section discusses laboratory costs, the relationship between alchemists and magicians, and the use of alchemical products in play. This edition supports both skill- and level-based systems, with expanded ingredient lists and rules for the philosopher's stone.
