"No really, its bound to work this time!"
"That was a surprisingly big bang!, I never expected it to work quite like that!"
Appearance
Across the clearing comes a slim figure striding with purpose towards the you. He wears rather scruffy leather clothing, which is battered and a little torn. The leather has several black marks on it, and other scorch marks, but no signs that the leather has ever seen a fight. In on hand he has a notebook which he keeps looking at intently, lifting his glasses and shaking his head. On his head is a yellow cap, holding his untidy shoulder length black hair in place. If you had exceptional sight, you would notice that the hair is recently been singed from fire or something.
Background
Just needs to be made a little more consistent
Very much a book and lab worm, not really that sociable, but very committed to alchemy. His current work is leading him to make a portable, highly safe explosive, which can stick to surfaces and be detonated causing a big bang. He thinks the army could use it for blowing up just a small part of a bridge rather than the whole lot, which they do at the moment. Much cheaper to fix just a bit of the bridge than build the whole lot. Its also more useful to any conquering army. So far he hasn't had a lot of success with this, the army keep turning him away, some blatantly laugh at him. But he is not to be defeated, he will come good, just need so field trials to show them what he can really do.
He and his twin brother currently run Blackfinger's Healing Emporium, where they supply a wide range of alternative medicinal cures. These go from potions, lovingly created by Boom, to the laying on of hands, reflexology, head massages and even acupuncture. Radiner, his brother, is a cleric and herbalist that has more than once saved Boom from severe injury or even death. Whenever there has been a rather loud explosive sound out in the laboratory at the back of the shop, or a loud crashing noise, invariably radiner has been called upon to heal his unfortunate brother. Nothing though has stopped Boom in his quest to produce the best bangs in Falcon's Hollow.
They arrived here, from far away in ??????, where the brothers had been born in the cathedral grounds under the ??????. Whilst their mother a cleric of Pharesma, taught them much. Both the brothers calling was away from the God of the Dead and more towards the Gods of Light and Good. However both boys learnt in their different ways. Boom learnt about the potions used for treating and preserving the dead, but in his spare time and a little bit of experimentation, then a few small explosions later....well, it was best the boys left and found their own way in the world.

Bombs & Discovery
Bombs/day 4=1+4
- 2nd level - Smoke bomb: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it create a cloud of thick smoke when it detonates. The cloud functions as fog cloud, filling an area equal to twice the bomb’s splash radius for 1 round per level.
- 4th level - Explosive bomb: The alchemist’s bombs now have a splash radius of 10 feet rather than 5 feet. Creatures that take a direct hit from an explosive bomb catch fire, taking 1d6 points of fire damage each round until the fire is extinguished. Extinguishing the flames is a full-round action that requires a Reflex save. Rolling on the ground provides the target with a +2 to the save. Dousing the target with at least 2 gallons of water automatically extinguishes the flames.
- 6th level - Extend potion: A number of times per day equal to his Intelligence modifier, the alchemist can cause any potion he drinks that does not have an instantaneous duration to function at twice its normal duration.

Feats, Abilities and Talents
Feats
- Point Blank Shot (1st Level)
You are especially accurate when making ranged attacks against close targets.
Benefit: You get a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons at ranges of up to 30 feet.
- Precise Shot (3rd level)
You can shoot or throw ranged weapons at an opponent engaged in melee without taking the standard –4 penalty on your attack roll.
- Weapon Finesse (5th Level)
With a light weapon, elven curve blade, rapier, whip, or spiked chain made for a creature of your size category, you may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls. If you carry a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls.
Natural weapons count as light weapons for this feat.
Class Abilities Alchemist
- Bomb 3d6
- Brew Potion: You can create a potion of any 3rd-level or lower spell that you know and that targets one or more creatures. Brewing a potion takes 2 hours if its base price is 250 gp or less, otherwise brewing a potion takes 1 day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. When you create a potion, you set the caster level, which must be sufficient to cast the spell in question and no higher than your own level. To brew a potion, you must use up raw materials costing one half this base price. When you create a potion, you make any choices that you would normally make when casting the spell. Whoever drinks the potion is the target of the spell.
- Throw Anything: You do not suffer any penalties for using an improvised ranged weapon. You receive a +1 circumstance bonus on attack rolls made with thrown splash weapons.
- Poison Resistance: an alchemist gains a +4 bonus on all saving throws against poison.
- Poison Use: Alchemists are trained in the use of poison and cannot accidentally poison themselves when applying poison to a weapon.
- Swift Alchemy: An alchemist can create alchemical items with astounding speed. It takes an alchemist half the normal amount of time to create alchemical items, and he can apply poison to a weapon as a move-equivalent action.
- Swift Poisoning: An alchemist can apply a dose of poison to a weapon as a swift action.
