I don't know how interesting this is to anyone else, but I have a tendency to notice nonsense like this. I've seen it in a lot of other creatures, but I'm looking at the Elysian Titan right now.

The description and picture puts them as basically humanoid in shape. The description also says they are typically 70 feet tall and weigh 20 tons. 70 feet tall is 10 times taller than a rather large human! Proportionally, this means the Titan should weigh at least 1000 (10x10x10) times as much as a human, or about 200,000 lbs. Best case scenario (using the English long ton), the given weight is 44,800 lbs. Which makes Titans approximately half as dense as humans.

This actually might make sense though. To support that height, the Titan would have to be less dense, although probably far less dense than even given here. On the other hand, at 45 strength, a 100 ton Titan would a heavy load for another Titan, which seems fair, whereas at 20tons, a Titan would be able to carry another Titan as a light load.

I'm sure there are more ridiculous examples of the size/weight discrepancy, which I would love to see.

As far as I'm aware, extracts can only be cast on the Alchemist/Investigator who creates them, or if infused, on another creature who drinks it.

With that in mind, 9 out of the 12 spells that Arcane Anthology adds to the Alchemist spell list are unusable by Alchemists or Investigators. This is especially annoying, because a lot of the spells seem to have been designed with those classes in mind.

They are:
Fool's Gold (targets gold)
Tears To Wine (targets a liquid)
Full Pouch (targets an alchemical object)
Liquefy (targets an object)
Rags to Riches (targets objects)
Dissolution (targets a tiny object)
Rune of Ruin (targets a magical object. Side question: why is a self-portrait the material component of this spell?)
Transmute Golem (targets a golem, although I suppose it might work a golem that can drink?)

These are the three that DO work:
Human Potential
Grand Destiny
Mask From Divination (Although, the material component of this spell (a mask) is an integral part of the spells casting and function, which may conflict with the whole "no material components" aspect of the Alchemist)
Legendary Proportions

Did I miss some errata somewhere that lets formulae function as oils? Is that a discovery perhaps?
