Alchemist Infused Reagents Tracking

[Counttec]

Hello all, first time poster on the Forum.
I'm trying to use a counter to track the number of reagents I have left for the day as a PF2e Alchemist.
I just need the ability to tick a number up and down, and maybe set a max that it will be reset to on a new day.
I'm also not sure what for such a tool would look like, module or extension.

Any assistance is helpful, thanks!

The alchemist in my group has been using this https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/221/view. I'm not sure if it does what your looking for but it's been helpful for us.

What I do for alchemists is this:

~Create a spell section and make it a prepared caster
~Give them 6-8 level 1 spells per day (whatever you think the maximum of a single item you might prepare is
~Give them a number of level 2 spells per day equal to their number of reagents
~Add all of the formulas they know as level 1 spells
~Add a single level 2 spell called "infused reagents" and prepare it the maximum number of times.

This way, whatever items you make during daily prep you can set as prepared in the level 1 spells and mark them off as they are used, and you use the level 2 spell to mark how many reagents you have used/have available. Don't worry about only having 6-8 "available" prepared spells for level 1, that just limits the maximum number of times you can prepare a single spell. It will let you "cheat" and prepare as many as you like.

Here is an example from one of my campaigns:
55964

You can also make it a ranged weapon in your actions tab (naming it whatever you want), and set the number of ammo slots. Then tick them off as you use them, like arrows.

I do the same as MaxAstro - I treat them as spells for the alchemist in my group. I set them all up as cantrips and give him X cantrips a day according to his reagents.

Thank you all for the input, I think these methods will work to track things properly. I was playing an Alchemist Artificer in a 5e campaign until last week, when we voted to migrate to PF2e. Everything else was doable, but I had no idea how to go about tracking the Reagents.

Macgreine, our GM did include all the Drag N Drop modules, so I at least had all my bombs set up. (Which at 8th level is over 20)
Mike, the only reason I wouldn't use a range weapon over another spell slot is that spells would refresh with the long rest.

Thanks All!

I do suggest setting up at least one ranged weapon for your bombs - they should all use roughly the same attack rolls anyway, and having a weapon set up makes it easier to apply MAP.
