Alchemists add a third axis. Their specials ask you to roll the eight-sided die against a target number, trading reliability for big effects. Master Scroll lets an Alchemist steal an opponent's back-card specials for the rest of the game, and Lethal Reach gives one of your cards +1 range for as long as it lives. Draft one Alchemist into a steady team for a surprise, or run a full Alchemist squad and let the dice decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRequires the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/barnburners-and-noblemen-master-set\"\u003eMaster Set\u003c\/a\u003e to play.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePairs well with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/merchant-expansion\"\u003eMerchant Expansion\u003c\/a\u003e; together they take the roster to 44 characters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Alchemist Special Index is on the \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/rule-book\"\u003eHow to Play page\u003c\/a\u003e if a special needs a ruling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold only on our website.
