Epic Heroes Encyclopedia is a series for players and GMs looking to develop their characters beyond the limits of the core mechanics. Each book delves deep into one class and reinterprets it. Today, we are introducing a new class which was much anticipated by our previous Epic Heroes: the Alchemist.

An Alchemist’s story is about uncovering the secrets of creation. Every potion you brew brings you closer to powers that blur the line between nature and magic. Ingenuity is your greatest weapon, but every discovery comes with a price. The deeper you delve into the mysteries of transformation, the more you realize that even the laws of nature can be rewritten.

This book dives into that pursuit. With Epic Heroes Encyclopedia Vol 13. Alchemist, we will explore forgotten alchemical formulas, experimental concoctions, forbidden transmutations, and the relentless curiosity that drives Alchemists beyond the known limits of their craft. Compatible with both the 2014 and 2024 rules, this volume takes Alchemists from 1st level all the way to 30th level, where mastery over matter allows them to reshape reality, unlock the secrets of life itself, and transform the fate of worlds.

Piece by piece, class by class, we are building the most complete vision of epic heroes. And when every page is written, it will stand as a true encyclopedia. One massive tome that reveals what happens when adventurers refuse to stop experimenting, refuse to stop evolving, and refuse to accept the limits of mortal ingenuity.

Epic Heroes Encyclopaedia Vol. 13: The Alchemist contains zero AI-generated content. No AI text, and ABSOLUTELY NO AI ART.

Earlier volumes that you can obtain with this project do not feature illustrations at all (please kindly check our sample pages, you'll love it!), but for this book, we wanted real artwork to accompany the epicness. Every single illustration in these pages as well as on the campaign page was drawn by our good friend and talented artist, Damjan Gjorgievski.

We wanted art with real personality and intent, and working directly with a friend who understands the vibe made all the difference. What you see here is 100% human-made from start to finish. Thanks for supporting our work and independent human art. Now, let’s blow some stuff up in the alchemy station.

Master the art of potioncraft, transmutation, and experimental science with an entirely new class built around the power to manipulate the world through knowledge and ingenuity. Go beyond the limits of mortal adventurers with an extended progression that lets Alchemists continue growing in power, unlocking extraordinary abilities from 1st to 30th level.

Choose from four paths of alchemical mastery, each offering unique abilities, experimental techniques, and new ways to wield the power of your craft. Then, further hone your skills to reach absolute epicness with our three new Epic Alchemist Archetypes.

Discover ten powerful spells that push the boundaries of magic, allowing you to manipulate matter, alter reality, and unleash devastating alchemical forces.

Equip yourself with extraordinary artifacts, enchanted instruments, and legendary alchemical creations worthy of heroes who have surpassed the limits of ordinary power.

Customize your alchemist with fifteen feats designed to expand your capabilities. Then, refine your techniques, and transform your Alchemist into a true master of the art with our new ten epic feats.

Face five formidable creatures born from unnatural experiments, unstable transformations, and the dangerous forces unleashed by alchemical ambition.

Meet four memorable characters with their own secrets, ambitions, and alchemical discoveries, ready to become allies, rivals, mentors, or dangerous enemies in your campaign.

Ignite your next adventure with twenty story prompts filled with forbidden experiments, mysterious formulas, stolen discoveries, and the consequences of tampering with the fundamental laws of nature.

Bring your experiments to life with dedicated potioncraft mechanics that let you brew, refine, and develop alchemical concoctions, making the process of discovery an integral part of your adventures.

This book is part of a growing collection of twelve volumes dedicated to expanding D&D characters beyond their traditional limits. Explore new classes, epic progressions, and extraordinary possibilities as we build the ultimate encyclopedia of epic heroes.

Every volume of the Epic Heroes Encyclopedia already comes with 20 plot hooks to spark your next high-level session. If we hit this stretch goal, we’re taking it a step further, and five of those plot hooks will be fully expanded into one-page adventures.

We’ll fulfill the PDFs through DriveThruRPG. If you backed the softcover version, we’ll send you a link to claim your print-on-demand (PoD) softcover on DriveThruRPG.

What started as a passion project grew into the Epic Heroes Encyclopedia, a journey through every class and their epic potential. Our goal was simple: release a new volume every month (possibly), each one expanding character progression and introducing exciting mechanics and options for different classes. Now we have reached the final step of that journey. This is the 13th volume, a much anticipated expansion to the Epic Heroes Encyclopedia.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
