This NPC PrC is being made using Complete Commoner variant (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10278), but I'll add requirements for standard, non-variant NPCs as well. Like Magesmith (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48326), it is designed to allow non-spellcasters to create magical items, in this case potions.
Some chemists, while not being spellcasters themselves, achieve such knowledge of alchemy that they can make magical potions.
Potionbrewer
Requirements: Master (Chemist) class ability, Skill Focus: Profession (Chemist), Profession (Chemist) 9 ranks, Craft (Chemistry) 4 ranks
Non-variant Requirements: Skill Focus: Profession (Chemist), Profession (Chemist) 10 ranks, Craft (Chemistry) 5 ranks

Class skills: Concentration, Craft, Heal, Knowledge (Arcana), Profession, Use Magic Device
Brew magic potions: Potionbrewer can create magical potions despite not being spellcaster. When he takes first level of PrC, he needs to decide if he's going to use Sorcerer/Wizard or Cleric spell list. He can substitute spells by making Profession(Chemist) check of DC 20+caster level. He can substitute spells of max level of his Brew unknown spell ability; see below. He must pay normal costs in money of creating a potion, but doesn't have to pay XP.
Brew unknown spell: Potionbrewers can create potions despite not knowing right spells, due to their mastery in craft of alchemy.
There we go. What do you think? Does it make any sense? Underpowered? Overpowered?
