Order of Alchemists

Blood Hunters that join this Order make use of alchemy and dark transmutation magic to mutate their physical form. The sinister power in their blood triggers massive physiological changes thanks to experimental Mutagens. These mutants are often striving to evolve into an ultimate physical form.


Aberrant Alchemy

3rd-level Order of Alchemists feature

You have a deep knowledge of the sinister side of alchemy. Whenever you make an ability check that uses alchemist's supplies you can treat a d20 roll of 7 or lower as an 8.

This dark alchemical knowledge allows you to inoculate yourself with Mutagens, which lay dormant in your blood until your draw upon their power to radically Mutate.

Passive Mutagens. You have inoculated your blood with three experimental Mutagens of your choice from the list of Mutagens at the end of this Occult Order's description. You do not gain the benefits of these Mutagens until you Mutate.

During a long rest, you can use alchemist's supplies and spend 1 hour to replacing of the Passive Mutagens in your bloodstream with another Mutagen of your choice. You gain two additional Passive Mutagens of your choice when you reach 7th level, and again at 13th and 18th levels.

Mutate. As a bonus action, you can Mutate to gain the benefits of a number of your Passive Mutagens equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1) for 1 hour. Once you Mutate you must complete a short or long rest before you can Mutate again. If you have no uses remaining, you can make a Vital Sacrifice to Mutate again.

Enduring Mutation

7th-level Order of Alchemists feature

The potency of your sinister alchemical experiments has grown. You are immune to disease and poison, and at the end of each long rest, you choose one of your Passive Mutagens. You gain the benefits of that Mutagen, as if you were Mutated, until the end of your next long rest. 

However, when you Mutate, this Enduring Mutagen counts as one of the Mutagens that you gain the benefits of.

Rapid Mutation

13th-level Order of Alchemists feature

While you are mutated, you can use a bonus action to switch one of your active mutagens for one of your passive mutagens.

Noxious Strike

18th-level Order of Alchemists feature

You can weaponize the strange toxins in your blood to afflict your enemies. Once per turn when you hit a creature with a melee attack, you can use a bonus action on that turn to force it to make a Constitution saving throw against your Rite save DC. On a failure, it is blinded and stunned for 1 minute.

The creature can repeat its saving throw at the end of each of its turns and each time it takes damage, ending the effects on a success. Any creature that succeeds on its saving throw against this ability is immune to this effect for 24 hours.

Mutagens

Below are the Mutagens available to the Order of Alchemists. If a Mutagen has a Blood Hunter level prerequisite, you can learn it at the same time you meet that level prerequisite.

You only gain the benefits of your Passive Mutagens when you Mutate. Until then, they lie dormant in your bloodstream
