Re: [PEACH] Alchemist NPC Stat Block
I feel way too lazy to actually check the CR by the book, but gut feeling? Might be a little low on both offense and defense. That being said, that's just a matter of tweaking numbers. The concept is fine.
I have a LOT of Homebrew!

Re: [PEACH] Alchemist NPC Stat Block
Whoop, you're right, I made a mistake in CR calculation and added all 3 rounds' damage together when looking at the damage/round column for some reason. XD
As written here, this is a CR 1/2 that might bump up to CR 1 by virtue of the special potion. I'll probably up the acid and fire damages a bit, call them Potent Acid and Potent Alchemist's Fire, or something. Let's say... 10 (3d6) for the acid and 5 (2d4) for the fire... that gets to 15 d/r if they burn a target on the first turn and it keeps burning while they throw acid on subsequent turns... that just barely brings offensive CR up to 2. Let's give them a 2-attack multi, caveating that only one attack can be Throw Concoction, which will put them most consistently in CR 2 offensively. Let's also tweak the Alchemist's Fire and dagger poison DCs up to 12. Defensive CR is still 1/2, which would average them to 1.25, but we'll round up to 2 based on the potential of the special potion.

Re: [PEACH] Alchemist NPC Stat Block
Im very new to Dungeons and Dragons, and I don't quite understand you damage notation. Under the davger attack you have, "Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage. " What does the 4 before the parentheses mean? Does that mean the alchemist has 4 daggers, multiple the damage dice by 4, roll 4d4, or something else entirely?
I appreciate the help as well as the npc template!
