I have an Alchemist (Grenadier archetype) and I have questions about crafting.
How can alchemists craft in Pathfinder Society Organized Play?
Alchemists can use the Craft (alchemy) skill to produce items with their Alchemy ability. Follow the Craft rules on pages 91–93 of the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook as well as in the alchemist’s Alchemy ability description. ... Alchemists are assumed, for Pathfinder Society Organized Play, to carry the necessary items and tools with them to use available resources to create alchemical items. ...
From the CRB, pages 91–93, it says that a craft check represents one week's work and includes a table to show craft DCs.
To determine how much time and money it takes to make an item, follow these steps.
1. Find the item’s price in silver pieces (1 gp = 10 sp).
2. Find the item’s DC from Table 4–4.
3. Pay 1/3 of the item’s price for the raw material cost.
4. Make an appropriate Craft check representing one week’s worth of work. ...
Item / Craft Skill / Craft DC
Acid / Alchemy / 15
Alchemist’s fire, smokestick, or tindertwig / Alchemy / 20
Antitoxin, sunrod, tanglefoot bag, or thunderstone / Alchemy / 25
However, I am confused about the items that are craftable (and their crafting times).
For example, crafting Alchemist's fire requires DC 20, and 10 minutes of time (Source: AONPRD). If our party have some free time in a session, let's say we are wasting time in a town, can I craft Alchemist's fire to use on the next combat? Or, without using another source such as Alchemy Manual, do I have to follow CRB's sentence for "a week's work" and therefore I can only craft between sessions?
If I can craft in a session, what happens if I want to craft Itching Powder (AONPRD) There is no time information.
Lastly, can I craft anything that requires only Craft (Alchemy)? Or am I restricted to alchemical weapons only?
I know these questions pop up so often but I couldn't find any clarification. Thank you in advance.
