Here are feats for use in your 5th Edition game.

Alchemist Prerequisite: Proficiency in herbalist kit or alchemist’s supplies

Critical Mastery

You are skilled at mixing strange chemicals and substances to produce items of wonder. This skill allows you to craft alchemical potions and elixirs. When crafting an alchemical substance, the total market value you can craft in a single downtime day increases to 10 gp. You also know how to brew the following alchemical concoctions:  Adrenal Distillation. A creature that ingests or is injected with this serum gains 2d4 temporary hit points for 1 minute and can make a Constitution saving throw against one effect they are currently suffering from. This elixir confers no benefit to undead or constructs. A dose has a market price of 50 gp.  Alchemist’s fire.  Antitoxin.  Elixir of might. Choose one ability score at time of brewing: Strength, Constitution, or Dexterity. A creature that drinks this elixir gains advantage on ability checks from the chosen ability score for 1 minute. This elixir confers no benefit to undead or constructs. A dose has a market price of 50 gp.  Medicinal Tonic. A creature that drinks this tonic substance gains advantage on saving throws against disease for 1 day. It confers no benefit to undead or constructs. A dose has a market price of 50 gp.  Potion of healing.  Metallic Polish. This thick oil coats one item in a thin layer of gold or silver. The item is considered to be made of that substance for 8 hours. Each time a weapon covered in metallic polish deals damage, the remaining duration is decreased by 1 hour. A dose has a market price of 50 gp. (The coating is obviously artificial upon inspection and thus cannot be used to inflate an item’s value for sale.  You may be able to craft other alchemical items and additional potions at the discretion of the Dungeon Master.
