Quick Reference

A Laboratory contains storage space for alchemical supplies and workspaces for crafting various concoctions.

When you issue the Craft order to this facility, choose one of the following options:

Craft:: Alchemist’s Supplies. The facility’s hireling crafts anything that can be made with Alchemist’s Supplies using the rules in the Player’s Handbook and chapter 7 of this book.
Craft:: Poison. You commission the facility’s hireling to craft a vial containing one application of a poison. The poison must be one of the following: Burnt Othur Fumes, Essence of Ether, or Torpor. This work takes 7 days, and you must pay half the poison’s cost. See “Poison” in chapter 3 for descriptions and costs of poisons.

Compare this facility against other 9-level facilities before allowing homebrew upgrades.
Keep the listed Bastion order as the primary action loop; additional benefits should usually be narrative, temporary, or gated by downtime.
If this facility grants creatures, information, resources, crafted items, or empowerment, keep those outputs tied to Bastion turns rather than free adventuring actions.
