How I'm playing TFT right now and my Findings

Cool, though Master Physickers can already make healing potions per ITL without being an Alchemist.

I actually created "Chymists" to work on mundane chemical potions and compounds, confining "Alchymists" to the magical potions and compounds. Herbalists worked on plant-based potions and effects. It worked out pretty well, and added a bit of difficulty to securing exactly the potion you wanted, with herbal potions and things being generally the least effective (though specific ones could be quite powerful), Chymical potions and compounds being next most effective, and Alchymical potions and compounds being fairly powerful (but enormously more difficult to find and expensive).

Not sure what the new rules will do to the Talents piece of the game though, so I'll probably have to completely rethink that once I see them.

That is what I'm saying. If a master physicked (the vast majority of whom can not cast spells), can make a healing potion, then a chemist should be able to as well. Thus, I moved that potion from the Alchemist table to the chemist table.

Also, the chemists have quite dull potions compared to alchemists. This gives them a money maker.

Oh, I see. Sure. It does seem logical that if a physicker can make a potion, a chemist should be able to do so too if they have the same formula for it.
