Can an Alchemist craft Black Market items in PFS?


Rules Questions


Several of the Black Market items from Adventurer's Armory are clearly alchemical in nature.
And they are listed as legal per the Additional Resources document.
But they lack craft DCs.
So are they legal to craft?

My understanding there is no crafting at all in PFS. Care to point to the allowance for 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. Any item created must be properly noted on that scenario’s Chronicle sheet. Under "Items Bought", note the amount of gold spent and the item created. 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. If they have a base of operations from which to do so, they may use an alchemy lab to gain the +2 bonus on their Craft (alchemy) check. Alchemists may never sell any of their created items nor may they trade them to another PC. However, they may allow other PCs to borrow or use items they’ve created (so long as the alchemist class ability being used allows them to do so).

So you can craft any alchemical item from the black market list, as long as the source you take it from is legal as per the Additional Resources.

If there's no Craft DC, though, then you're limited to purchasing them.

Which makes sense, IC, cuz the ppl selling them illegally naturally don't want any competition ;-)

But how did they make the stuff in the first place?

Trade secret. I would tell you the crafting DC, but then I'd have to kill you. ;)

It has a hidden DC, but without the recipe the DC is +10000

You just have to increase the DC by 5 for every piece you're missing from the crafting recipe.

Yes, that has already been quoted and linked. Did you have further questions about it?


I need the DC to craft Black Market items. There doesn't seem to be any info on it.

Sczarni

Indeed. So you can't craft them.
