Monsters: Ethergaunts

Monsters: Ethergaunts

Ethergaunts are one of my favorite monsters from Fiend Folio. Enigmatic aberrations from the Deep Ethereal that used to have a multiplanetary empire on the Material Plane. Now they want it back. Mind control, a maddening appearance, innate spellcasting, immunity to magic, and bits of ultra-tech? What not to like here?

Alchemy: Anointed Knight Oils

Alchemy: Anointed Knight Oils

Book of Exalted Deeds for D&D 3.5 has the anointed knight prestige class. This class is based around concocting magical (not holy) oils to anoint herself or her weapon. Technically, this is just a justification for gaining permanent class features, but I see no reason not to turn them into proper alchemical elixirs.

Alchemy: Psionic Alchemy

Alchemy: Psionic Alchemy

Dragon Magazine #358 has a short article about psionic alchemy - an alchemical tradition that deals with rare substances that react to the presence of psionic energies. Why haven't I noticed that article before? This post will detail all the elixirs from that article converted to my metatronic alchemy system. These elixirs might use a new skill specialty - Alchemy (Psionic). I will also retroactively assign some psionic elixirs from Dungeon Fantasy to this specialty.

Alchemy: Faerun Poisons

Alchemy: Faerun Poisons

Races of Faerun, Underdark, and Serpent Kingdoms (I omitted the ossra oils - they would require a little bit different framework) for D&D 3.5 have some poisons that I have not converted to GURPS yet. The last non-Dragon Magazine poisons.

Alchemy: Faerun Elixirs

Alchemy: Faerun Elixirs

This post will cover all the various alchemical items from the Forgotten Realms splatbooks.

Alchemy: Eberron Elixirs

Alchemy: Eberron Elixirs

Let's convert all the new alchemical items from the Eberron books.

Alchemy/Equipment: Planar Handbook

Alchemy/Equipment: Planar Handbook

All right, this is the last non-setting, non-Dragon Magazine D&D 3.5 book that has any alchemy in it. Hooray!

Alchemy/Equipment: Frostburn

Alchemy/Equipment: Frostburn

On the opposite end of the temperature spectrum we have Frostburn. Let's convert alchemical items and other adventuring gear from it.

Alchemy/Equipment: Sandstorm

Alchemy/Equipment: Sandstorm

Sandstorm for D&D 3.5 has quite a large selection of alchemical and other items. Let's convert them.

Alchemy: Assorted Elixirs II

Alchemy: Assorted Elixirs II

Why am I writing about alchemy again? Because I found out that there's not that many alchemical items in D&D 3.5 that I have not converted. This post covers alchemical items from Savage Species, Races of Stone and Races of the Dragon.

Alchemy/Equipment: Ghostwalk Gear

Alchemy/Equipment: Ghostwalk Gear

Ghostwalk is probably the most obscure setting for D&D 3.0. It has some interesting pieces of gear, alchemical items, and even a drug for ghosts, so let's convert those.

Alchemy: Assorted Elixirs

Alchemy: Assorted Elixirs

Let's convert some more D&D alchemical items. This post covers items from Tome and Blood, Sword and Fist, Masters of the Wild, and Stormwrack.

Alchemy: Draconic Elixirs

Alchemy: Draconic Elixirs

Let's convert the elixirs from Draconomicon and Dragon Magic for D&D 3.5.

Equipment/Alchemy: Drugs Revisited

Equipment/Alchemy: Drugs Revisited

I was not content with how drugs work in my Metatronic Alchemy system, so I decided to rewrite them. The cost is now not based on mechanics, but is arbitrary. Also added a drug from my setting, and a drug from Dragon Magazine.

Alchemy: Dungeonscape Elixirs

Alchemy: Dungeonscape Elixirs

Let's convert alchemical items from Dungeonscape for D&D 3.5.

Alchemy: Elixir Recycling

Alchemy: Elixir Recycling

Have you ever played Might and Magic VI, VII, or VIII? In those three games, alchemical potions are split into five tiers, and each non-basic potion is created by combining two potions of the previous tier. A couple of days ago, this mechanic has inspired me to create an elixir recycling system from my Metatronic Alchemy system. It would allow an alchemist to use existing potions to save some money and time. I'm pretty sure that the first draft of this will be revised multiple times in the future, because it'll probably break something.

Alchemy: Drow Poisons

Alchemy: Drow Poisons

Let's convert the normal, not magic-infused poisons from Drow of the Underdark.

Alchemy: Drow, Last Gasp, and Abortion

Alchemy: Drow, Last Gasp, and Abortion

I've been asked to create an alchemical pregnancy cancellation elixir. Let's also add a forgotten elixir from Complete Adventurer and alchemical items from Drow of the Underdark.

Alchemy: Adventurer Elixirs

Alchemy: Adventurer Elixirs

Now, let's create elixirs based on the spells from the previous post and convert two alchemical items from Complete Arcane that I have missed. Now we caught up properly.

Alchemy: Some Elixirs I Missed

Alchemy: Some Elixirs I Missed

Apparently I declared some of the D&D books "converted alchemy-wise" too early, because some alchemical items for some reason were moved to the magic items sections. So, let's catch up. This post will cover elixirs from the Arms and Equipment Guide, Book of Vile Darkness, and Complete Scoundrel.
