Refer to the Core Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing in this book for the apothecary spell list.\r\n\r\n[b]Formula Book[\/b]\r\n\r\nYou have a book or collection of notes that you study to prepare your apothecary spells, develop your esoteric theories, and record your occult practices. You may use your formula book as an arcane focus for your apothecary spells. You may describe this book any way you like. Some examples of your book\u2019s appearance include:\r\nh A large leatherbound tome with yellowing pages bound shut\r\nwith an iron lock\r\n[ul]\r\n[li]A scattered assortment of scribbled notes loosely held together by rope[\/li]\r\n[li]A pristine journal with perfect edges and beautiful penmanship[\/li]\r\n[li]A leather briefcase with two small golden locks[\/li]\r\n[li]A medical bag with surgical symbols on the sides[\/li]\r\n[li]A beat-up satchel slung over one shoulder with vials and bottles poking out of every pocket[\/li]\r\n[\/ul]\r\nIf the book is destroyed or lost, you can recreate it using inks and paper during a long rest.\r\n\r\n[b]Cantrips[\/b]\r\n\r\nYou know three cantrips of your choice from the apothecary spell list. You learn additional apothecary cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Apothecary table.\r\n[i]Elementary Reformulation.[\/i] Whenever you finish a long rest and consult your formula book, you can replace one apothecary cantrip you know with another cantrip from the apothecary spell list.\r\n\r\n[b]Preparing and Casting Spells[\/b]\r\n\r\nThe Apothecary table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your apothecary spells of 1st through 5th level. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your apothecary spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest. You prepare the list of apothecary spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the apothecary spell list. When you do so, choose a number of apothecary spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + your apothecary level (minimum of one spell). A spell you prepare must be of a level no higher than what\u2019s shown in the Apothecary table\u2019s Slot Level column for your level.\r\n\r\nFor example, if you are a 5th-level apothecary, you have three 3rd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include eight spells of 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level, in any combination. To cast the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 3rd-level spell. Casting a spell doesn\u2019t remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of apothecary spells requires at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.\r\n\r\n[b]Spellcasting Ability[\/b]\r\n\r\nIntelligence is your spellcasting ability for your apothecary spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and occult knowledge. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an apothecary spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.\r\n\r\n[i]Spell save DC[\/i] = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier\r\n\r\n[i]Spell attack modifier[\/i] = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier\r\n\r\n[b]Ritual Casting[\/b]\r\n\r\nYou can cast an apothecary spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.\r\n\r\n[b]Spellcasting Focus[\/b]\r\n\r\nYou can use an arcane focus (see the Adventuring Gear section of the Core Rules) as a spellcasting focus for your apothecary spells.\r\n\r\n[b]Exorcist Spells[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]1st-level Exorcist feature[\/i]\r\nYou always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Exorcist Spells table.\u00a0These spells count as apothecary spells for you, but they don\u2019t\u00a0count against the number of apothecary spells you prepare.\r\n\r\n[b]Exorcist Spells\r\n[\/b]\r\n[table][tr][th]Apothecary Level[\/th][th]Spell[\/th][\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]1st[\/td]\r\n[td]bless, protection from evil and good[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]3rd[\/td]\r\n[td]spiritual weapon, zone of truth[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]5th[\/td]\r\n[td]counterspell, spirit guardians[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]7th[\/td]\r\n[td]banishment, last rites[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]9th[\/td]\r\n[td]dispel evil and good, flame strike[\/td]\r\n[\/tr][\/table]","class_features":"[b]Spiritual Study[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]1st-level Exorcist feature[\/i]\r\nYou gain proficiency in heavy armor and the Religion Skill. If you\u00a0already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with another\u00a0skill of your choice. You can use a holy symbol as an arcane focus\u00a0for your apothecary spells and you gain a cantrip of your choice\u00a0from the cleric spell list. This cantrip counts as an apothecary\u00a0cantrip for you.\r\n\r\n[b]Esoteric Theories[\/b]\r\n\r\nYou have discovered esoteric theories, scraps of forbidden lore that you can use to augment your magical abilities.\r\nAt 2nd level, you gain two esoteric theories of your choice. Your theory options are detailed at the end of the class description. When you gain certain apothecary levels, you gain additional theories of your choice, as shown in the Theories Known column of the Apothecary table. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the theories you know and replace it with another theory that you could learn at that level.\r\n\r\n[b]Exorcism[\/b]\r\n\r\n\r\n[i]3rd-level Exorcist feature[\/i]\r\nAt 3rd level you gain the ability to imbue divine energy through\u00a0your holy symbol to expel evil entities in the area, or purge their\u00a0harmful effects from your allies.\r\n\r\nWhen you use this feature, you choose which effect to create.\u00a0You can use this feature a number of times equal to half your\u00a0proficiency bonus rounded down, you regain all expended uses\u00a0on a short or long rest.\r\n\r\nIf an Exorcism effect requires a saving throw, the DC equals\u00a0your Apothecary spell save DC.\r\n\r\nStarting at 5th level, when an undead or fiend fails its saving\u00a0throw against your Expel Evil feature, that creature suffers 4d8\u00a0radiant damage.\r\n\r\n[i]Expel Evil.[\/i] As an action, you present your holy symbol and\u00a0speak a prayer censuring creatures that mean you harm. Each\u00a0undead, celestial, fey, or fiend that can see or hear you within 30\u00a0feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature\u00a0fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes\u00a0any damage.\r\n\r\nA turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far\u00a0away from you as it can, and it can\u2019t willingly move to a space\u00a0within 30 feet of you. It also can\u2019t take reactions. For its action,\u00a0it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect\u00a0that prevents it from moving. If there\u2019s nowhere to move, the\u00a0creature can use the Dodge action.\r\n\r\n[i]Purge Corruption.[\/i] You touch a creature or item and can\u00a0end either one condition afflicting it. The condition can be\u00a0blinded, charmed, deafened, frightened, paralyzed, or poisoned.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, if a creature is possessed or mind controlled by\u00a0a spirit or foreign entity, you can use this feature to remove any\u00a0traits or other features related to the possession. If possessed, the\u00a0creature possessing it is shunted out of its host to an unoccupied\u00a0space within 5 feet and takes psychic damage equal to 2d8 +\u00a0your apothecary level.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Ability Score Improvement[\/b]\r\n\r\nWhen you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can\u2019t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.\r\nUsing the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead.\r\n\r\n[b]Sacred Vessel[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]6th-level Exorcist feature[\/i]\r\nYou are immune to the frightened condition, and cannot be\u00a0possessed or cursed. You also have advantage on saving throws\u00a0against being charmed.\r\n\r\n[b]Negation[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]10th-level Exorcist feature[\/i]\r\nAs a reaction when a hostile creature you can see targets an ally\u00a0with an attack, spell, or other effect, you can expend an Apothecary spell slot to force it to make a Charisma saving throw\u00a0against your spell save DC. On a failure, the action they were\u00a0attempting fails and resources used are wasted.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Greater Formula[\/b]\r\n\r\nAt 11th level, you discover a magical secret called a Greater Formula. Choose one 6th-level spell from the apothecary spell list as this formula.\r\nYou can cast your Greater Formula once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again.\r\nAt higher levels, you gain more apothecary spells of your choice that can be cast in this way: one 7th-level spell at 13th\r\nlevel, one 8th-level spell at 15th level, and one 9th-level spell at 17th level. You learn an additional 6th level spell at 19th level, and an additional 7th level spell at 20th level.\r\nYou regain all uses when you finish a long rest.\r\n[i]Master Reformulation.[\/i] Whenever you finish a long rest and consult your formula book, you can replace one spell you gained from this feature with another spell of the same level from the Apothecary spell list.\r\n\r\n[b]Empowered Healing[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]14th-level Exorcist feature[\/i]\r\nWhenever you cast a spell that heals a creature, that spell\u00a0deals maximum healing and the creature immediately gains\u00a0temporary hit points equal to your apothecary level.\r\n\r\n[b]Devout Witness[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]18th-level Exorcist feature[\/i]\r\nAs a Devout Witness, you speak on behalf of your gods and\u00a0can feel their powers surging through you. Commanding spirits\u00a0and vanquishing evil is second nature to you. You have added\u00a0benefits that bolster your abilities.\r\n[ul]\r\n[li]Creatures who fail their saving throws against your Exorcism:\u00a0Expel Evil feature take an additional 4d8 radiant damage.[\/li]\r\n[li]Creatures who are aided by your Exorcism: Purge Corruption\u00a0feature gain 4d8 temporary hit points.[\/li]\r\n[\/ul]\r\n\r\n[b]Miraculous Recovery[\/b]\r\n\r\nAt 20th level, you can spend 5 minutes channeling power into a number of creatures (which can include yourself) equal to your Intelligence modifier to facilitate an abnormally fast recovery. You must tend to the creatures during this period, using a healer\u2019s kit with at least one use remaining. The targets regain hit points, spell slots, hit dice, and other abilities as if they completed a long rest. A creature can only benefit from one Miraculous Recovery in a 24-hour period. Once you use this feature, you can\u2019t do so again until you finish a long rest.\r\n\r\n[b]Apothecary Esoteric Theories[\/b]\r\nApothecaries develop esoteric theories during their adventures and experiments, representing their own unique synthesis of medical and occult practices. The description of each esoteric theory details the benefits you gain from selecting that theory. Some esoteric theories specify a minimum apothecary level. You can\u2019t learn such an esoteric theory until you are at least that level. Unless an esoteric theory\u2019s description says otherwise, you can\u2019t learn an esoteric theory more than once.\r\n\r\n[b]Acquired Tolerance[\/b]\r\nYou have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you gain resistance to poison damage. In addition, you automatically succeed on saving throws against your own apothecary spells, and never take damage from your own apothecary spells.\r\n\r\n[b]Adrenaline Surge[\/b]\r\n[i]Prerequisites: 6th-level apothecary[\/i]\r\nA creature at 0 hit points who regains hit points from a spell you cast using an apothecary spell slot gains resistance to all damage and has advantage on saving throws until the end of its next turn.

You decide what the creature looks like, including facial features, the sound of its voice, hair length, coloration, and distinguishing characteristics, but none of its game statistics change. You can\u2019t alter the size of a creature, and its basic shape stays the same. The resulting transformation is non-magical, however, a greater restoration spell or similar magic cast upon the creature can restore it to its original appearance.\r\n\r\n[b]Critical Condition[\/b]\r\n[i]Prerequisites: 6th-level apothecary[\/i]\r\nWhen a creature rolls a natural 1 on a saving throw made against one of your apothecary spells that deals damage, roll all of the spell\u2019s damage dice twice and add them together.
