This is my first CC I have fully thought out. I know the Alchemist has probably been done before but after a search of the forums, those old topics were different enough to mine.

Alchemist

Introduction

Scientists to the highest degree, the Alchemists utilize their vast knowledge of chemicals and explosives to damage foes in many ways. Recent advances in the field of alchemy has brought these new fighters to the forefront as their grenades can affect many enemies at once. They launch their deadly grenades into battle using small ballistae mounted on their arm and bracers on the other to protect themselves from both the ballistae and melee attackers. Alchemists also have a large degree of knowledge in medicne and use this to heal allies and themselves.

General Information

Alchemists are ranged attackers that fire grenades into enemies. These grenades have area-of-effect affects that has a general range of "nearby". The weapon they use to fire these grenades is the Ballistae, which is mounted on the right arm. The Alchemist wears medium armor, and is augmented by a bracer they wear on the left arm. However, this bracer also contains a syringe that Alchemists can deliver their medicinal compounds to their allies or themselves

Each Alchemist must learn the knowledge of several areas in order to be effective heroes. Alchemists use preparations to make their grenades, and to complement this, they have learned to "mix" their grenades through use of multiple preparations. The preparations are usually tied to their knowledge of chemicals. Alchemists also put their intelligence to medicinal antidotes that heal and cleanse allies that they deliver with their bracer. Finally, alchemists can learn to wield their ballistae more efficiently and fire more rapidly

Weapons

Bastillae normally fire general explosive grenades, dealing piercing damage through shrapnel. These general grenades only hit one foe, but preparations can allow area-of-effect damage/conditions to occur. The Bracer is the offhand that provides some armor and boosts to the medicinal skills of the Alchemist.

Synergy with Other Professions

The profession most closely linked to the Alchemist is the Ranger as they represent the ranged weapon-based damage of a team. Alchemist can take up Ranger as a secondary and switch their ballistae for a bow for increased base attack speed and use of more than one preparation. Rangers gain the benefit of an Alchemist secondary for the decreased cost of Medicinal Expertise skills for a majority of them are touch skills.

I know the post is long, but I think you understand why
