Chem Point Buy

The Ability and Proficiency System

This page involves the Abilities and Proficiency system, which is a core part of how Combat Roleplay and "Competitive" Roleplay works on Massivecraft. To see an explanation of general Rules, Terminology, and Mechanics used on this page, read the Abilities page. To see a broader explanation of the Abilities and Rules used on this page, read the Proficiency Page. To see an indexed list of all Abilities, read the Ability List Page.

The Chem Point Buy is part of the bigger Proficiency System. Please read the Proficiency Page first before reading this one. Chem Point Buy provides Packs for the Character to become proficient in Alchemy and Chemistry for either combat or utility.

Chem Feeding

Chem Feeding does not grant any Abilities, but grants utility for dealing with the Afflicted. The Chemist can produce Magic Aureates, which are apple-sized edible crystals which can satiate the feeding hunger of Vampires or Geists. The same object sates any of their hungers as if they have fed from a real person. Aureates can be produced one of two ways. Firstly, the Chemist must use an attack emote against someone. If they succeed in doing at least 1 HP damage, they gain 1 Magic Aureate, and only one can be produced per day. The second method, is to take a blood sample of their own, and mix it through a complex alchemical process to become a Magic Aureate. Up to three can be produced this way, but any Afflicted who consumes this Aureate becomes enthralled to the Chemist, meaning they listen to the commands and directives of the chemist against their will (this is all within reason, and with consent, the Chemist should not start acting against the interest of the Afflicted, and any weirdness forces the addiction to be retconned). This mechanic is disabled if the Chemist becomes Afflicted themselves. The only exception to this is if the Chemist has an Invaded or Vested Spirit Affliction. Chem Feeding is gained for free upon Point Buying any Chem Point Buy Pack.
