Inherent Ability

Throw Item

It may be silly to "learn" how to use Phoenix Downs or Hi-Potions when all the Item command requires is that the user toss an item in the general vicinity of a targeted unit. Nevertheless, the Chemist has an indispensable and 100% reliable ability set. Making a unit a Chemist generally limits that unit's role to that of dedicated healer. When guns become available, however, Chemists can become a mild thorn in the side--yours or the enemies'.

Phoenix Down

Revives and restores a nominal amount of HP. Kills undead units.

Item has a range of 4 and an effect of 1 for any item when used by Chemists or units equipped with Throw Item. For all other units, the range is 1.

Learning an ability listed above allows you to use the corresponding item provided that it exists in your inventory.

It is necessary to have an unobstructed line of sight with a targeted unit when using an item. Examples of situations where there is an obstructed line of sight are shown below. (The Chocobo is the intended target.)

The first example shows a slight difference in height and a short distance between the two units. The second example shows how a battlefield obstruction such as a tree can block the target. (Any other unit can also serve as an obstruction. In that case, it will receive the restorative effect intended for the target.) The third example shows that although the units are adjacent to one another, a steep difference in height prevents the item from reaching its target.
