    Default Optimizing Alchemy

    I have been wondering how to do this. Alchemy seems like a very versatile skill, and I challenge the playground to optimize it. GO!
    Jesus saves, you take half damage.

    The difference between insanity and genius is determined only by your charisma score.

    So are we talking about 2E, 3E, 4E, GURPS, or Mage: The Ascension?

    Alchemy by RAW is crap. Ditch it and start from scratch.
    Theophrastus Phillippus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim commands it!

    (You can't argue with a guy named Bombastus. Is your name Bombastus? No? Didn't think so...)

    FWIW, my take on D&D alchemy worth caring about (ie: level-appropriate effects)
