So I am good on the FAQ but I do have one question.

I know that if a poison appears on a chronicle sheet anyone can purchase them and that Alchemists can craft the list of poisons in the FAQ and Additional resources. My Question is can Alchemists craft the poisons found on chronicle sheets and are they limited to the allowed doses on the chronicle sheet?

Right now I am assuming they can craft them but can only craft the amount of doses allowed by the chronicle sheet.

Actually, I would not assume that a poison found on a chronicle would be craftable. Just because you have a sample of something doesn't mean you know how to make it. (Yes, an argument could be made that a competent craftsman could figure it out, but there isn't anything in the rules to cover that.)

Yes, you can only craft what is always available (to you) to craft in the FAQ/Additional Resources.

Anything on sheets are not craft-able.

The FAQ is not specific on what purchasable Poisons they are limited at crafting.

All it states is what purchases are available and that Alchemists can craft poisons.

The Additional Resources expands upon that list in the FAQ.

Though I can see that as reasonable being that every Poison found on a chronicle sheet is limited to a number of doses, though if Mike wants it that way he will need to update that question in the FAQ.

To be clear, are you saying if a Poison is limit 1 dose and you craft 1 does you can no longer craft a 2nd dose? Or do you feel crafting exempts you from the dose limit on the sheet?

This, though I would love to open up the alchemist list with the new poison I think the limit in the dose stops that.

It would be really cool to have your list expanded as you discover new poisons. They are after all rather expensive.

Currently it doesn't seem you would be able to craft newly discovered poisons.
