Potions

General Potions

Heal

Heals one hit per the level of the potion to a location of the drinker’s choice. These can also be applied to the location to be healed.

Venom

Available in blade delivered or ingested forms. Venoms do one hit of damage to the recipient’s chest per level of the potion. This damage cannot be healed until an antivenom has been administered or a purge miracle used.

Antivenom

Allows one hit per level of potion taken from venom to be healable. The antivenom itself does not heal the damage taken. An anti-venom can also be administered pro-actively, in which case it absorbs up to its level in venom damage.

Named Potions

Enchanted Brew (Level 1)

The drinker gains 3 extra hits to the chest which are tracked separately. These hits are lost first, including to venom damage, and cannot be healed. If any of these hits are left when the potion duration ends, they are lost – this does not count as damage. When fed to a character whose chest is bleeding out, this potion stabilises the chest until it is again reduced to 0 hits or below by damage. This is an ingested potion and must be drunk to take effect.

Dragonbreath I (Level 1)

Drinking the Dragonbreath potion confers on you the ability to call FLAMING ONE on a single target within 30ft range. This ability can only be used once per potion. You must mime inhaling deeply for 3 seconds before calling the damage.
If you do not use Dragonbreath within five minutes of drinking it, you immediately take an unblockable FLAMING ONE to the chest and lose that charge of Dragonbreath.

Ghastly Purgative (Level 2)

The drinker of this potion is rendered too weak to run, and does one degree less damage with Melee or Thrown weapons, for five minutes. They also feel very poorly. However this potion negates any ongoing effects of other potions when drunk. This is an ingested potion and must be drunk in order to take effect.

Stimulant of St Visitus (Level 2)

Drinker gains +1 DAC (equivalent to that gained from the agility & combat awareness skills) for five minutes. This is an ingested potion and must be drunk in order to take effect.

Preserving Pickle (Level 3)

This potion slows the natural decay of an item coated with it or a potion mixed with it. An alchemist may mix Preserving Pickle into another potion at the same time as stabilising that potion with Stabilising Salts. If this is done, the Stabilised potion will then last for 2 weeks rather than 1. Potions that have been mixed with Preserving Pickle in this way last for an additional 2 weeks whenever extended.

Dragonbreath II (Level 3)

Drinking the Dragonbreath II potion confers on you the ability to call FLAMING TWO on a single target within 30ft range. This ability can only be used once per potion. You must mime inhaling deeply for 3 seconds before calling the damage.
