Alchemy: Exotic Preparations II

Alchemy: Exotic Preparations II

Here we have some non-magical alchemical substances. Alchemist's Fire was toned down compared to the one from GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 1 - Adventurers, because otherwise it would be a ridiculously priced grenade. Now it has no special effect on a direct hit. Antotoxin imbues the imbiber with resistance to poison. Holy Water and its variants damage beings outsiders. Smokestick is a good diversion.
