the whole item creation sections are a complete mix of dos and dont's and would like some clarification. I have been searching for a couple weeks now and have not found a definitive how to thats not referencing a whole new section to calculate all this.
Alchemist Lvl 1 lets just say 11 points in Craft Alch with feats, traits, equipment to modify it. but these questions are for the life of the character and how i would go about it in future levels as well.
Questions:
A. Is this right ?(brewing potions, below) if not then what needs to be changed?
B.How do you calculate if the potion takes more then the 2 hours? normal crafting alchemy item doesn't make sense for me for creating potions, i understand its based on how much the price of it is, but is that the market price or material cost costing more then 250gp? or material cost? and how do you factor this based on the 2 hrs or day?
C. How does Swift alch/ Instant alch/Master Alchemist work in to this after you gain these feats
This is what I have devised so far but would like some guidance on the right way to do this
Brewing Potions (not crafting alchemy items)
1.Only Formulas you know
2.1-3 Lvl Formulas
3.Formula must be prepared, using up one of your extract slots for the day
4.No Discoveries can be added
5.Figure out brew price of potion
(cost of materials when brewing a potion).
Potions: Base price = spell level × caster level × 25 gp.
The brewing price of a potion is equal to the level of the spell × the creator's caster level × 50 gp. If the potion has a material component cost, it is added to the base price and cost to create
6. Cost(step 5) x 10 = base brew price in Sp
7.DC of the Potion to create
10+Caster lvl of spell used= DC of Potion
8.If step 5 is Less then 250gp then its takes 2 hrs to make potion. Otherwise brewing a potion takes 1 day for each 1,000 gp in its base price (step 5)
Check:
Roll Craft (Alchemy) Check
d20+Craft rank+modifiers = Check Roll
Check roll vs. DC of potion you wish to create.
If your check roll is higher then DC of potion you wish to brew you succeed
9.Potion is worth 2x base brew price(material cost established in step 5) =Market Price when selling.
Thank you ahead of time.
