- The Alchemist’s ability is usually that of a not-in-play Minion, but can duplicate an in-play Minion ability.
- The Alchemist learns which ability this is on the first night.

- If the Alchemist’s Minion ability adds or removes characters during setup, this still occurs during setup.
- If the Alchemist has an ability where the player chooses something, like the Poisoner or the Vizier, the Storyteller may ask the Alchemist to choose differently. The Alchemist must do so.
How to Run
During the first night, wake the Alchemist. Show the YOU ARE info token then the character token of a Minion. Put the Alchemist to sleep. Mark the Alchemist with the IS THE ALCHEMIST reminder. Swap the Alchemist token with this Minion token. Turn the Minion token upside-down. (This shows they are still good.)
The Alchemist has this Minion ability. They use it as if they were a Minion, and wake at night when that Minion would normally wake to use their ability.
Examples
The Alchemist has the Baron ability. There are 2 extra Outsiders in play.
The Alchemist has the Poisoner's ability. On the first night, they wake and poison the Wizard. On the second night, they wake and poison the Alsaahir. On the third night, they wake and try to poison the Lord of Typhon, but the Storyteller prompts them to choose differently. They poison the King instead. The Lord of Typhon is not poisoned.
