There is no problem a potion cannot solve*.

*Results are not guaranteed. Certain side effects may occur. Not responsible for any injuries, illnesses, accidents, or deaths that occur with use of these products. All sales are final. No refunds of any kind.

Notes: Upon taking each potion, make a L1SR on LK. Success means the potion worked as intended while failure means that the potion did not work at all. A fumbled SR (result of 3 on 2D6) means something unexpected happened. See the "Fumble Effect" of each potion for details. If a potion does work, once the effects have ended check for possible side effects. See each potion description for details.

Liquid Bandage (Poor Baby)
Heals up to 10 points of CON. It may be consumed all at once or in increments. Only one LK SR is needed to make sure the potion works.
Side Effects: May cause drowsiness; once consumed make a SR on STR at a level equal to the number on CON restored/2 (round down). If the SR is failed, the character becomes very sleepy for 1D6 hours; all SRs are at one level higher and Personal Adds are reduced by half.
Fumble Effects: The potion causes 1D6 in CON damage and causes drowsiness for 1D6 hours.
Cost: 500 gp

Cure All (Healing Feeling)
Heals any kind of disease but does not restore any lost attributes caused by the disease.
Side Effects: Some people are allergic to the ingredients of this potion. Make a L1SR on LK. Failure means you break out in hives and have difficulty breathing. Reduce Personal Adds by half for 1D6 days.
Fumble Effects: The potion causes a wasting disease that results in the loss of 1 point of STR per day until cured. 
Cost: 600 gp

All Purpose Antidote (Too Bad Toxin)
Negates the effects of any poison but does not restore any lost attributes or heal wounds.
Side Effects: The power of the antidote can sometimes interfere with nerve function. Make a L1SR on current CON. Failure results in DEX being cut in half for 1D6 hours.

Temporarily revives a dead person for a number of combat turns (~2 minutes) equal to 5 times the LK attribute of the revived person. At the end of this period, the person dies again.

  1. Really cool potions! I like that they have side effects and fumble effects. Magic should be wild and dangerous.
