I’m working on a set of new heroes for A Touch of Evil, and I’d welcome any input. The base game primarily features heroes who are visitors and passers-through, but my set focuses more on residents, with a couple exceptions. I’m planning a healer, a merchant, an apothecary/alchemist, a silversmith, a retired professor, an undertaker, a rabbi, and Dr. Manning’s son Jacob. I haven’t play-tested any of these yet, but I hope to remedy that in the next week or so. Here’s the apothecary.

Olaf Gudmundsson, The Apothecary
Olaf is the white-haired gentleman who operates the town apothecary. He sells medicines, candies, toiletries and tobacco goods. The town doesn’t generate much business, but that suits Olaf just fine as it leaves plenty of time for him to pursue his true passion, alchemy. His small stone home just outside of town serves as his laboratory and library, and he shares it with his twelve cats.
Wounds - 2
Combat - 2
Cunning - 3
Spirit - 3
Honor - 3
Transmute: For the cost of 2 Investigation, Olaf can sacrifice two items to attempt to transmute them into an item of his choice from any discard pile (successful on a D6 roll of 3+, sacrificed items are discarded regardless)
Perseverance: Once per turn, Olaf can re-roll all dice for a single Spirit or Cunning test
Smelly Salve: Olaf may heal himself at the cost of 2 Investigation per wound rather than 3
