Alchemical Toxicologist[edit]
Artificer Subclass
The Alchemical Toxicologist is a master of chemical concoctions and poisonous substances. This subclass focuses on creating and deploying toxic concoctions to control the battlefield and hinder enemies.
- Toxicology Savant
Starting at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with poisoner's kits and alchemist's supplies, if you don't already have them. Additionally, you can create and use toxic concoctions as spellcasting focuses for your Artificer spells, You can create a number of toxic concoctions equal to your Intelligence Modifier
- Noxious Fumes
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to create a cloud of noxious fumes. As an action, you can spend a spell slot or expend a toxic concoction, to throw a vial containing a toxic mixture, creating a 10-foot-radius cloud of poisonous gas centered on a point you choose within 30 feet. The cloud lasts for 1 minute or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it. When a creature enters the cloud for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature takes poison damage equal to 1d6 + Your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). The damage increases to 2d6 at 9th level, 3d6 at 14th level, and 4d6 at 17th level. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1) and regain all expended uses after finishing a long rest.

The damage increases to 2d8 at 11th level and 3d8 at 17th level.
- Caustic Defense
