Brew Junkie (4e Paragon Path)

Brew Junkie

“	I feel good. Boy, maybe even too good ... (hic!)	”
—Aezer, froblin alchemical weaponmaster, B'Kirth's Wandering Almanac

Prerequisite: Alchemist, Artificer (4e Class Variant)

A key ability of alchemy is to make potions that alter your body and its functions. Since you ingest a lot of it as it is, your body has been drastically altered to ensure you never develop tolerance against the potency of your potions. In fact, you body goes into overdrive when you use some potions, granting you greater powers against your foes. This paragon path focuses on upping your durability in combat and getting the most bang for your buck from healing powers and potions.
