Adventurer Essentials: True Alchemy

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Alchemy is not science.

Alchemy is not chemistry.

Alchemy is not pharmacology.

Alchemy is not medicine.

Alchemy is magic, pure and simple, though
it's easy to see how you might be fooled.
The twin disciplines of science and alchemy
have their own laws, their own traditions, their own
specialized languages. Both science and alchemy
seek mastery of the physical world through pursuit
of knowledge. But alchemy only functions in a world
permeated with magic, where sheer willpower can
override reality and make superstition into a viable
discipline.

Alchemy binds the catalytic essence of the
Elemental Plane of Fire and bottles it into a cheap
brown-glass jar to make Alchemist's Fire. Alchemy
traps the North Winds in a wineskin and releases it
as a weapon of elemental ice. Alchemy creates the
Tanglefoot Bags (brewed from tar and brown
recluse webs and stolen shadows) and
Thunderstones (captured lightning imps) that every
adventurer carries into the dungeon. Alchemy can
also do much, much more.....

The most skilled alchemists in the multiverse
have discovered a new discipline, an outgrowth of
their semi-magical profession they call true science.
Scientific discoveries spur new magical discoveries,
and within the last few centuries a new kind of
sorcerer, a vanguard of a new era has emerged: the
Mad Science sorcerer.

The concepts in this sourcebook explore the
new possibilities of alchemy and science. New gear,
new feats, a new sorcerer blood line and two new
player races are all products of the strangest
sciences imaginable.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
