Help with Alchemist Characters.

[Krapgame]

I have a player wanting to roll an alchemist. But, i am not sure how the work. I understand you can make this many a day etc. What i don't understand is do they have to purchase materials for all their bombs or are they considered to have them. Do they have to purchase the vials to use them in?

Could some one please give me a simple run down on how Alchemist characters work.

thanks in advance!

The feature that answers that is:

"INFUSED REAGENTS
You infuse reagents with your own alchemical essence, allowing you to create alchemical items at no cost. Each day during your daily preparations, you gain a number of batches of infused reagents equal to your level + your Intelligence modifier. You can use these reagents for either advanced alchemy or Quick Alchemy, described below. Together, these infused reagents have light Bulk.As soon as you make your next daily preparations, your infused reagents from the previous day’s preparations are instantly destroyed, and nonpermanent effects of your previous day’s infused items immediately end. While infused reagents are physical objects, they can’t be duplicated, preserved, or created in any way other than your daily preparations. Any such artificial reagents lack the infusion and are useless for advanced alchemy or Quick Alchemy."

Things they make with infused reagants are free, but temporary. Other items they make with normal crafting last indefinitely, but they do have to pay for them.
