Herbal Lore is a prerequisite for identifying, making, and/or using alchemical solutions. Alchemists must have level 1 alchemy to use ingested elixirs or solvents, and level 10 to use alchemical gasses. Production points are the number of points a alchemist can spend each day . A alchemist has production points equal to his skill rank. A alchemy lab will double the production points, up to 40 points.

Example: Black J. Armond has 5 skill levels of alchemy and a lab. 5 x 2 = 10

An alchemist may only use one lab, for a maximum total of 40 points per character, per day. Production points may be spent at Registration and Spell Reset. Production points may not be traded or held over to the next day or next event.

Elixirs must be ingested, solvents must be applied, and gasses are thrown. See Throwing Gasses after Poison Descriptions for information on constructing the gas packs and using them in combat.
