Getting my geek-femme on
Maybe it's just because I just made a huge BPAL order (all imps), but sometime I'd like to play a D&D alchemist who's also a sort of pre-industrial cosmetician. It seems like they'd go together, since perfumers who are working from scratch need to know about distillation and other basic chemistry skills. She could make her mutagens and elixirs as special perfumes. I see her dressing as girly as dungeon-crawling allows, and making her pre-adventuring living as a sort of cross between traveling herbalist and self-employed Avon lady.
