“The playground rulings of sovereign men always fade with the passing winds, while the laws of nature that govern our existence are eternal and unyielding. Where do you believe real power to exact change lies?”
~ Tannin Lupine, Academy Imperica Chemist
Apothics considerably understand the laws of science and nature and lean on their applications to create potent concoctions and perform miracles or monstrosities of Apothicine. An Apothic is a charming scientist able to produce Drugs, Curatives, and Poison, administer apothical care, and alter themselves or their environment through biological or chemical means. The trademarks of the Apothic include the creation of unique Toxins, the ability to Triage injuries in the field quickly, and the drive to add a discovery to the body of knowledge. An Apothic often finds themselves in a role that will allow them to benefit from their sense of curiosity, often as a whimsical explorer, an enigmatic scientist, or a distinguished doctor. An Apothic can have guile, resilience, and drive, making them ideal candidates for a Company representative or for positions of care or diplomacy in Companies. Maligned Apothics have been known to fall deep within the throws of madness in their search for knowledge and power, establishing expansive hidden lairs where they can work on their dreadful abominations of nature without interruption.
Eureka
An Apothic’s life is made up of brilliant moments. Sparks of intrigue that light up a dull existence are what drive the Apothic’s decisions. The Apothic maintains a constant curiosity that causes them to learn whatever they can, wherever they find it. The Apothic understands the potential in all things and uses those connections to produce breathtaking results. These sparks of brilliance and intrigue, at times, lead to innovation, discovery, and miraculous interventions. The Apothic is capable of great scientific application, diagnosing and curing most ailments, rapidly regenerating bodily trauma, creating new and adaptable Compounds, and even raising the dead for various purposes. Apothics are naturally empathetic, knowing that a life lost is knowledge lost.
Malosophy
Also, why let something as petty as ethics or morals get in the way of real progress? Social repercussions aside, every Apothic feels the itchiness of the darker sides of discovery. Malosophists are more pragmatic regarding what constitutes a boundary of moral or ethical decency. To some Apothics, the end justifies the means, and if someone can’t see that, then they must not be able to understand the bigger picture. Apothics that embrace their malosophic tendencies wield unlimited potential as they bend the world around them through apothical understanding. Poisons, Bombs, Chemical reagents, and genetic alterations only scratch the surface of what a genuinely unscrupulous Apothic may find access to when trying to accomplish their goals. The steadfast proponent of malosophy believes that their only limit is what they know.

Toxin
Beginning at Apothic Rank One (1), every Apothic develops a signature Toxin recipe tucked away in their minds, just in case they might need to protect themselves.
The Apothic may apply their Toxin in several ways, always as a Rapid Action. The Toxin may be applied to a Melee Weapon that inflicts Pierce or Slash Damage, delivering the Toxin Effect to any creatures that take Hit Point Damage as a result of a Melee Attack from a coated weapon. The Weapon loses its toxicity after the Apothic’s Effect Duration in Rounds.
The Toxin may be loaded into a Compound Lance to be administered as a Cast Attack. Once loaded, the Toxin remains effective until used, and when distributed in this way, the Toxin Effect bypasses the target’s Physical Save. Alternatively, the Toxin can be mixed with a Food, Beverage, Pharmaceutical, or Curative to corrupt its intended effect and, instead, deliver the Toxin to whoever ingests it.
Any creature exposed to the Apothic’s Toxin suffers a number of Poison Injury stacks equivalent to half (½) of the Apothic’s Charm Attribute for the Apothic’s Effect Duration. Creatures that suffer multiple exposures apply any additional stacks on top of their current level of poisoning while refreshing the Effect Duration to match the most recent exposure. On exposure, a Physical Save against the Force Impact made at the Toxin’s creation negates the Injury of the dose. The Apothic is immune to their own Toxin.
Daily Batch
Prerequisite: Apothic
Action Type: Ritual (1 hour)
As a Ritual at an Apothical Laboratory during Downtime, the Apothic spends one (1) hour creating a number of doses of Toxin equivalent to half (½) of their Charm Attribute. The Apothic performs a Force Impact to determine Toxin’s efficacy during its creation. The Toxin remains potent for the Apothic’s Effect Duration in days, after which it reverts to harmless water. The Apothic may only create Toxins once per Long Rest. An Apothic with a Brewer’s Satchel can store the entire batch of Toxin doses without occupying an inventory slot.
Triage
Beginning at Apothic Rank One (1), the Apothic can tend to the wounds of others by administering careful apothical treatments to a biological creature. Over ten (10) minutes outside of combat, the Apothic heals an organic creature for 1D8 Hit Points for every 2 points of the Apothic’s Charm Attribute. The Triage Class Feature has a number of Daily Uses equal to the Apothic’s Charm Attribute. Daily Uses are only restored after an eight (8) hour Rest Period.
Physician
Beginning at Apothic Rank Five (5), the Apothic is better equipped to meet the pharmacological needs of a Company. The Apothic can carry twice as many Consumable Curatives and Pharmaceuticals per Inventory Slot. In addition, Pharmaceutical, Poison, and Regenerative Effects caused by the Apothic have twice (2*) the Effect Duration.
Discovery
The mark of a Master Apothic, at Apothic Rank Ten (10) they make a miraculous Discovery that represents the pinnacle of their research, unlocking one (1) of the following Rituals:
Discovery Selections
Abominable Laboratory
Prerequisite: Apothic
Action Type: Ritual (8 hour)
The Apothic converts an Apothical Laboratory into an Abominable Laboratory, destroying it for its conventional uses but enabling the Apothic to manifest a loyal Abomination Companion. As a Ritual at the Abominable Laboratory, the Apothic can spend eight (8) hours constructing a living Abomination, using the Mechanic’s Machine Tune-up as guidelines to determine any statistics and utilizing the Apothic’s Charm Attribute in place of any Will Attributes. The Abomination can be issued Commands that it follows to the best of its ability. The Abomination can be up to Large in size and shares a telepathic link with the Apothic that enables it to communicate observations and receive new commands in real-time, functioning wholly independent of the Apothic’s direction. An Apothic can only maintain the existence of one such creature at a time.
Doomsday Device
Prerequisite: Apothic
Action Type: Ritual (8 hour)
As a Ritual at an Apothical Laboratory, the Apothic can spend eight (8) hours constructing a device that, once activated, will destroy all Characters, creatures, or structures within an indeterminable radius, capable of destroying a significant amount of life or civilization with proper applications. The nature and function of this device depend on its creator's wishes. An Apothic can only construct a single device of this caliber during their lifetime.
Genetic Flux
Prerequisite: Apothic
Action Type: Ritual (8 hour)
As a Ritual at an Apothical Laboratory, the Apothic can spend 8 hours installing the rare Genetic Flux Augment into their Body Gear Slot.

The Apothic can choose from the following Enhancements: Aqualung, Burrow, Echolocate, Flight, Nightvision, Scent, Spyderwalk, Strider, Thermal Sense, or Vibralocate.
Homunculus Laboratory
Prerequisite: Apothic
Action Type: Ritual (1 hour)
The Apothic converts an Apothical Laboratory into a Homunculus Laboratory, destroying it for its conventional uses but enabling the Apothic to manifest a team of dedicated abomination laborers. As a Ritual at the Homunculus Laboratory, the Apothic can spend one (1) hour to manifest a Homunculus. This intelligent abomination creature can perform Ability Checks to perform Downtime tasks on the Apothic’s behalf, utilizing the Apothic’s Ability Checks in place of their own. Homunculi can attempt to craft or maintain items, objects, or structures, perform general construction, operate mundane machines, or provide care for other Characters as a part of Downtime operations. The Apothic can support a number of active Homunculi equivalent to half (½) of their Charm Attribute. A Homunculus cannot survive separate from the Homunculus Laboratory, dying if they stray too far from the location of their manifestation. The Apothic can only maintain a single Homunculus Laboratory at a time.
Immortality Tank
Prerequisite: Apothic
Action Type: Ritual (7 day)
The Apothic converts an Apothical Laboratory into an Immortality Tank, destroying it for its conventional uses but enabling the Apothic to maintain a tank that grows a suitable replacement body. Every seven (7) days, the Immortality Tank develops a completely functional clone of the Apothic that lies dormant until the Apothic dies. In the event of the Apothic’s death, their soul and consciousness are instantly transferred to the clone, where it awakens and emerges from the tank. If the Apothic dies before a new clone has formed in the Immortality Tank, the process fails, and their soul passes on as usual. Effects that trap an Apothic’s soul or prevent regeneration or revival negate the soul transfer of Immortality Tank.
Outer Soul
Prerequisite: Apothic
Action Type: Ritual (7 days)
As a Ritual at an Apothical Laboratory, the Apothic can spend seven (8) days extracting their soul from their body and binding it to an external device or container called an Outer Soul.

As a Rapid Action, the Apothic can consume all charges of the Philosopher’s Stone, gaining the stored Damage as either Temporary Hit Points or Temporary Action Points that fade after the Apothic’s Effect Duration in Rounds.

Time Machine
Prerequisite: Apothic
Action Type: Ritual (7 Day)
Over a seven (7) day Ritual, the Apothic converts an Apothical Laboratory into a Time Machine, destroying it for its conventional uses but enabling the Apothic to travel back in time to the same exact location. The Time Machine is perfectly functional and accurately and flawlessly delivers the occupants to a specified point in the past or future in a single-use, one-way trip, the results of which cannot be undone or reversed.

As a Ritual at an Apothical Lab during a Rest Period, you can surgically restore a Large-sized or Smaller Dead Organic Creature to bring its biological mechanisms back to a semblance of working order. You can partially revive the Targeted body into a hollow husk of its former self as an Abomination-type Creature. The Target is restored for an indefinite Duration and capable of performing simple, repetitive tasks after being guided through intense instruction; however, the Reanimated Corpse will not engage in hostile actions and is incapable of following any type of Command without careful instruction. Reanimated Corpses are highly susceptible to Possession Effects, automatically forfeiting any chance at a Save against the Possession Miscognition.

As a Full Action, you imbibe a concoction that ungulates within you before spewing forth from your eyes, nose, and mouth, solidifying into a slimy, simulated version of yourself as an Abomination Creature. You are stuck with the Sleep Miscognition as your consciousness is directly translated to your Simulacra for the Effect Duration. Your Simulacra mimics your body in shape but lacks any definitive form or structure, able to pass under doors, through vents, and pipes while retaining the ability to Interact with most Objects or Devices. Your Simulacra can perform Weapon Attacks using its body mass to simulate your equipment, inflicting your Weapon Damage as Biotic Damage if successful. Your Simulacra is Immune to Physical Damage and Biotic Damage, with any Force Damage (including Elemental Damage) it suffers being immediately inflicted upon your actual body. You can wake up from your Sleep Miscognition as a Free Action. If you wake up from your Sleep Miscognition, your link to the Simulacra breaks, killing it instantly as it dissolves into a puddle on the floor before evaporating into nothingness.
