Alchemy 101

Full Script

Notes

An Alchemist script built for various player and storyteller experience levels! v1.2: Added 2 additional Boffinable townsfolk, dropping Seamstress and Farmer for Philosopher and Undertaker. v1.2.1 updates the PDF for the updated Boffin/Drunk jinx. Welcome to Alchemy 101, where no Alchemist option breaks anything too badly. The Witch and Harpy both offer confirmation, while the Boffin can help the Recluse or hinder the Demon. With some relatively gentle face-up Outsiders around, even an Alch-Baron helps the team by confirming good players! Once your group is comfortable with the basic interactions on this script, you can get some interesting games by using the Boffin to grant the Alchemist ability, doubling up on a Minion ability. A Boffined ability also can change when the demonhood moves, creating fun puzzles with the Imp and Lil' Monsta. If your group would prefer, the Cerenovus can be used in place of the Harpy.
