Apothecar

Apothecars were specialty priests of the Church of Mystra whose primary duty was the identification of potions, salves, ointments, and elixirs.

Activities
An apothecar's extended exposure to bizarre chemicals and substances often made them look strange and disheveled, sometimes even with apparent burn marks or stains upon their skin. Most were also rather eccentric due to prolonged inhalation of fumes.

Culture
All apothecars were either humans, gnomes, or half-elves. They were a proud group of priests who often served Mystra for generations.

Abilities
Skilled apothecars could usually identify a substance just by smell or taste.

Given the amount of time spent researching potions and similar substances, apothecars dedicated very little effort to martial skills, resulting in them being weaker individuals who were clumsy with weapons.

Apothecars could not turn undead.

Possessions
They wore the traditional blue robes of Mystra's clergy with their holy symbol worn around their neck.
