Scope
Creating alchemical pastes that bind, repel or grease. Attraction, friction and even repulsion can be affected and effected.
Content
This skill allows you to use alchemical equipment and ingredients to create a variety of pastes which have an effect when applied to an object or objects. Alchemical substances need to be prepared carefully, requiring time, equipment and materials. Creating an alchemical substance takes at least a few hours of work in a workspace with at least some basic tools and requires ingredients worth half the price of the final item. Alchemical substances can be produced singly or in batches. If you fail a check to produce an alchemical substance, the materials are used up. If you fail by three or more points something slightly bad happens, such as ruining an item of equipment or clothing. If you fail by six or more points something bad happens, which might result in either a wound or an obvious and negative cosmetic effect.
Trivial Tasks
Create a paste that will stick two objects together for a short time, create a paste that will grease an object or area, disadvantaging anyone standing in it or using it.
Average Tasks
Create a paste that will stick two items together after a short while so that a lot of force is needed to separate them,
Challenging Tasks
Create a glue that will instantly and permanently stick two objects together so that considerable force (more than the weight of a person, or enough to break one of the objects) is needed to separate them, create a paste that will repel small objects and cause other objects to bounce off and away from it, create a paste that will attract small items within a handspan towards it.
Impossible Tasks
Opposed Tasks
Given the nature of alchemical checks, it's unlikely that this skill will be used as an oposed check.
