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 Talent
Talents provide somewhat broad descriptions of out-of-combat things a Character can do that have a vaguely or explicit technological feel to them. This includes but is not limited to medical healing and concoctions, salves and potions for different hair colors, gender-bending, making fireworks, cleaning foams, changing materials, or generally adding alchemical parts to daily tasks or the body to create a better standard of living. If you feel choice-paralysis over what you can do with this, or feel creatively lacking ideas, be sure to ask a Lore Staff in a Ticket.
Gadget Combat
Chem Point Buy is very similar to Melee Point Buy, in that it gives the Character proficiency to use Alchemy or Tech (or a combination) as a weapon. The aesthetics do not matter, whether to splash enemies with chemicals, or have a shoulder-mounted robotic drill, the user can perform Gadget Attack Emotes, which use Magic Proficiency as Main Combat Stat (for dice rolling). When using Gadget Combat to attack, weapons and shields cannot be wielded. Gadget Attack Emotes must always be in melee range, there is no mechanic to turn this into Ranged.
Chem Talent and Gadget Combat are gained for free upon Point Buying any Chem Point Buy Pack.
