New alchemical items

[Pegasos989]

So, I created a few alchemical items and have gotten mainly positive feedback so far but anyways, gonna put them here too. The purpose of adding these is to make craft skill a bit more useful so... they might be a bit more powerful than normal alchemical items but I don't really see that as a flaw. Anyways...

Alchemical acid
Market price: 52gp, 5sp
Craft DC: 13
Alchemical acid is a green shaded corrosive substance. You can throw it as a splash effect (treat this as a ranged touch attack with a range incrediment of 10 feet). A direct hit deal 1d8 acid damage. Every creature within 5 feet of the splash takes 1 point of acid damage from the splash.

Caffeine
Market price: 787gp, 5sp
Craft DC: 19
Caffeine seems to speed you up - both bodily and mentally. After using it, you act as if under haste -spell for 5 rounds, and can not sleep the following night. If you stay awake with caffeine for nights equal to your con modifier, you start taking 2 points of wisdom damage for each night you continue without sleep. The wisdom damage can not be cured untill you sleep again.

Heavenbreaker
Market price: 52gp, 5sp
Craft DC: 13
Due to it's relatively cheap price, this is one of the more common drugs on the streets. Heavenbreaker makes the user feel invulnerable and allmighty and gives him +4 on saves against fear-effects and supresses any ongoing fear-effect.

Laughing-gas
Market price: 262gp, 5sp
Craft DC: 17
This heavy glass jar filled with gray gas can be thrown up to 35 feet. When the jar breaks, it releases gas wich dissipates in one round. Any creature in the square at the time of breaking feels urge to start laughing horribly. Unless it succeeds in fortitude save (DC 12), it will fall prone laughning. While laughning like this, the creature can take no actions during this time but is not concidered helpless.

Radiating powder
Market price: 340 gp
Craft DC: 16
This yellow powder radiates light. It can be used as a torch or thrown as a 15 feet cone. Any creature with light-sensitivity caught in this cone becomes dazzled for 5 rounds and any creature with light vulnerability takes 1d4 points of damage (Reflex save DC 12 for half).

Red fury
Craft DC: 14
Market price: 400gp
Red fury is a strong drug that drives it's user to a horrible rage for a moment. Red fury gives +2 STR and +2 CON for 5 rounds, after which it leaves the user fatigued for the rest of the encounter.

I think caffeine might be a wee bit silly for a normal campaign. ;)

I like the acid and laughing gas, though. One question though - why did you give so many of your items 5 sp? I understand the desire to have half a gold piece, but it seems like it'd be easier for everyone's sake to just round it off to an even number.

Well, I had a mechanic to make sure that creating alchemical items was the same price as creating scrolls (instead of feat you required ranks, instead of EXP you spent gp on a 5:1 ratio and though anyone could use them, it took a lot of time to create them so it all evens out) and because of such, those are very exact amounts. Naturally you can feel free to round them up without causing game balance problems.

The exact mechanic in most was:
Craft dc: 10+(3*spell level)+additional caster levels
Price: (25*spell level*caster level*2.10)+(0.5*material components)
Where spell level is the spell they emulate (lesser orb of acid in some) and additional caster levels means above the minium they require (so when superior alchemical acid emulates 1st level spell at CL 5, there is 4 additional caster levels)

Those adding to ability scores are made with:
Craft dc:10+(2*bonus they give in each)+amount of abilities to which the bonus applies
Price: The duration in rounds*ability bonus per ability*amount of abilities*20gp
And cause these stack with enchantment bonus (being alchemical bonus), they all have drawbacks, too.


And yeah, caffeine was designed late at night but the point of it is really to give the effects of haste for 5 rounds for a bit higher price than buying a potion of haste but you save a lot of money if you create it yourself and spend a lot of time. (Kinda the point in all these items...)
