Alchemy (Knowledge)
The Knowledge of Alchemy allows the alchemist to know about various compounds, how to mix them, and how to make various sorts of alchemical concoctions. This skill does include the knowledge of how to make black powder, and also other crude explosives, various acids, smoke bombs, and so on. This skill is usually difficult to employ if the alchemist does not have access to a laboratory of some kind - the GM may determine that certain things are impossible without either special ingredients or a full-blown laboratory.
