Third tier
Biochemist
Biochemist is the primary advancement option for Alchemists. They turn their insatiable curiosity for the workings of chemical matter toward the interaction of chemicals with each other and organic bodies.
Biochemist skills are divided into two trees, which much like the chemical compounds they work with, are very much intended to be mixed together. The first tree is the one that will be most familiar to Alchemists, the Chemical Skills. This new suite of skills leverage the user's bonuses to Burning Damage and Vulnerable Potency to deal exceptional damage even over an area, and rather than generating or consuming Extort stacks, instead receive a reduction to their cooldowns for every Extort Stack the user maintains. The one exception is the ever feared Acid Demonstration, which consumes the user's Extort Stacks to deal an absurd amount of damage to a single target.
Opposite the Chemical skills are a new line of skills, known as Stimulants. These stimulants are powerful drugs concocted by the Biochemist to enhance their allies for combat, providing incredibly strong short term buffs, but at the cost of severe negative side effects. Some skills even turn these side effects to great use, inflicting them on enemies to make these drugs into effective weapons in and of themselves. These Stimulant skills also gain beneficial effects for the user maintaining a high Extort count, but unlike the Chemical Skills, these will actually generate Extort stacks for the user too...if the user is willing to invest enough skill points into them to unlock their full effects.
Unlike Geneticists, Biochemists gain no skills that directly interact with homunculi created during their time as an Alchemist. They do, however, gain access to evolved versions of those homunculi, allowing them to grow up to level 150 along with their master. And unlike Geneticist homunculi, which must gradually gain their abilities over time, Biochemist homunculi mastered all of their abilities by level 99, so they are able to wield their full arsenal of skills right from the beginning.
