Blightseeker
Blightseekers are alchemists devoted to the study of fungi. While diverse fungi exist on the surface world, the unique combination of environmental conditions found in the Darklands fosters the growth of unpredictable and otherworldly fungal growths.
A creature that takes a direct hit from a spore bomb must succeed at a Fortitude Save (DC = 10 + half the blightseeker’s level + their Intelligence modifier) or suffer the associated blight effects. Creatures that take splash damage from the bomb are not affected by the blight.
This ability alters bombs.
Impairing: The target’s base land speed decreases by 10 feet, to a minimum of 10 feet. This effect doesn’t stack with itself. Minor Sickening: The target is Sickened, but it takes only a –1 penalty on affected rolls.
At 6th level, they add the following blights to the list of those that can be applied to their bombs.
Fatiguing: The target is Fatigued. Fear-Inducing: The target is Shaken. Sickening: The target is Sickened.
At 12th level, they add the following blights to the list of those blights that can be applied to their bombs.
Confusing: The target is Confused. Exhausting: The target is Exhausted. Nauseating: The target is Nauseated for 1 round. Staggering: The target becomes Staggered for 1 round.
At 18th level, they add the following blights to the list of those that can be selected.
Blinding: The target is Blinded. Deafening: The target is Deafened. Stunning: The target is Stunned for 1 round.
This ability replaces the discoveries gained at 6th, 12th, and 18th levels.
This ability replaces persistent mutagen.
Spore Bomb (Su)
At 1st level, they create a special kind of alchemist bomb that delivers a payload of alchemically engineered fungal spores. These bombs infest their target with a virulent blight (see below). Their bombs deal 1d4 points of damage (instead of 1d6), plus 1d4 points of damage for every 2 alchemist levels beyond 1st.A creature that takes a direct hit from a spore bomb must succeed at a Fortitude Save (DC = 10 + half the blightseeker’s level + their Intelligence modifier) or suffer the associated blight effects. Creatures that take splash damage from the bomb are not affected by the blight.
This ability alters bombs.
Blights (Ex)
At 1st level, they gain the blights from the list below. When they prepare bombs at the start of the day, they choose which blight to apply to each bomb. If a blight has no duration listed, it lasts a number of rounds equal to the blightseeker’s Intelligence modifier. At 1st level, they gain the following blights.Impairing: The target’s base land speed decreases by 10 feet, to a minimum of 10 feet. This effect doesn’t stack with itself. Minor Sickening: The target is Sickened, but it takes only a –1 penalty on affected rolls.
At 6th level, they add the following blights to the list of those that can be applied to their bombs.

At 14th level, they can apply two blights that they know to each spore bomb they create.This ability replaces persistent mutagen.
