Editing Combat Alchemist

== General ==
This is a template designed to take advantage of the [[Alchemical Throwing Phials]]. Specialized Thrown Weapons helps with the use of phials. This template relies on Arcane Lore for creature and life buffs. 

'''Advantages
* Template completes relatively early.
* Skill/attribute synergy between UA, TW, and Alchemy.
* Has melee and missile combat capabilities.
* High melee defense.
* Buffs from Arcane Lore cannot be dispelled, and do not expire.
* Has life vulnerability debuffing capabilities through throwing phials.
* Throwing phials can be wielded with a shield.

'''Disadvantages
* Throwing phials have their own disadvantages, including burden/pack space, -10% melee defense, and requiring line of sight and close range to work.
* Creating a suit of armor, jewelry, and clothing to cover all creature and life buffs can be a long and difficult process.
* Low magic resistance.
* Low health.
