Drug Master (5e Class)
From D&D Wiki
|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: 4 attacks for an alchemist class? Additional ASI and Feats (which are technically an optional rule) than are standard for classes. Savage Shroom and Drug from The Wild overlap. Versatile Drug gives unconditional, universal advantage on all saving throws. Other issues.
|
|
This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: How long does Trip Hive Mind last? How long does Drug Bond last? How long do several others features last? Many DCs should be consolidated into a feature that describes the several DCs and then reference those specific DCs when needed. Missing multiclassing proficiencies. What's toxic damage? Missing damage types in other features.

Drug Master[edit]
An elf shiftily walks down an alleyway, taking long drags of her cigarettes. A shady man carrying a knife quickly followed her. When the man reached the elf and pulled his knife out to strike, a dark and thick buff of smoke was blown into his face. He choked and coughed more and more with every breath he took before quickly slumping over, as the women simply took a deep drag of her cigarette and walked off with a smirk.
A dwarf with tired eyes and twitchy body made his way to his fallen allies and quickly pull a syringe out and pushing into them. The allies simply lay still before jumping up filled with energy, jumping back into the fight with increased vigor.
Drug Masters are those who mastered the combination of using alchemist tools and herbals remedies to use for their advantage in either healing allies or damaging enemies, though their remedies are often quite addictive and gets them into trouble with the law.
Creating a Drug Master[edit]
When creating a Drug Master, think ahead of what you want your character to be: A drugged up addict that makes his own products, A suave talker that peddles his goods in shadowed alleyways, or a herbalist that cures the ailments of others through suspicious products. First, make either Constitution or Wisdom your primary stat, then make the one you didn't choose your next highest, then follow with Dexterity and the other 3 are up to you! This class works best as a support and not as a primary fighter of the group.
