Progression
| Level | Unlock | Feat | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Novice feat choice (pick one) |  No Potions
|
Eating a raw ingredient triggers your strange metabolism: roll on an unpredictable table of outcomes. Most are good, a burst of healing or a fleeting boon, but a few turn sour into a mild ill effect. Separately, this is always in force: any refined potion, tincture, or brewed draught you drink does nothing helpful and instead saddles you with a minor adverse effect. |
 The Guzzler
|
You throw back a draught in an instant. Drinking a potion costs you no real pause, you can quaff and keep acting in the same breath, and nothing short of a solid physical blow can interrupt you mid-gulp. Years of greedy drinking also mean you wring a little extra out of every dose: each potion you drink restores a small amount of bonus health as Guzzler Vigor. | ||
 Stranger Danger
|
Your instincts immediately warn you if the substance contains poison, harmful toxins, or dangerous alchemical properties. This grants automatic success on detecting danger but does not identify specific effects or safe properties. | ||
| 3 | Passive bonus | Poison resistance bonus | |
| 4 | Mastery bonus | +1 to Potions rolls | |
| 6 | Adept feat choice (pick one) |  Blade Venom
|
Any potion you carry can serve as a venom: smear it along your edge and the next strike becomes a delivery. Coating leaves a Blade Venom on the weapon that is spent on your next attack. When that attack lands, the struck target is Envenomed, bleeding HEALTH over time, with the damage growing as your proficiency rises. |
 Metabolize
|
Your body breaks the toxin down for parts: the poison's grip never takes hold, and you even recover a little, gaining Metabolized (1d6 HEALTH). You still feel mild nausea for a few seconds. | ||
 Healthy Dose
|
When you rest or drink a potion, your accelerated regeneration restores extra HEALTH, granting Rapid Recovery (1d6). | ||
