Cider of Serenity	This fruity concoction is perhaps the ultimate pain killer, eliminating all but the most extreme sensations, yet allowing the character to function almost normally. However, the character will have extreme difficulty trying to feel his surroundings. Taking multiple doses of this potion simultaneously will rarely produce additional benefit.

Cloud of Manifestation	This fine, silvery dust adheres to any solid objects in the hex. The dust clings to most invisible beings, but passes through visual images, destroying the magical illusion.	Ability: 10d6 Dispel, Magical Images and Invisibility to Sight (+1/2), Area Effect (Hex) (+1/2), No Range (-1/2), 7-8 Charges (-1/2), Charges do not recover (-2), Gestures (Must toss into hex) (-1/4), OAF (-1), Independent (-2), Unexpected results when mixed with other potions (+0).	60

Coffee of Calming	When served as a heated broth, this beverage will calm the individual and make him less susceptible to presence attacks.

Ability: 6d6 Aid to EGO, lose 5 per hour (+3/4), Only for resisting PRE Attacks (-1), 7-8 Charges (-1/2), Charges do not recover (-2), Gestures (Serve in a heated broth) (-1/4), OAF (-1), Independent (-2), Extra Time - Five Minutes (-2), Unexpected results when mixed with other potions (+0).	52

Ability: 8“ Flight, Activation Roll 11- (-1), Only to walk across water (-1), Limited to running rate (-1/4), Four Continuing Charges (1 Hour) (+1/4), Charges do not recover (-2), Gestures (Must wash feet) (-1/4), OAF, Bulky (-1-1/2), Independent (-2), Unexpected results when mixed with other potions (+0).	20

Cream de Mentalism	This sweet, milky beverage has the slight odor of orange. It is stored in a small, cylindrical bottle with a tight-fitting bronze cap that pivots on a hinge. When a small sip is taken, the character gains the ability to perform a powerful mental attack against the target of his choice.	Ability: 5d6 Ego Attack, 8 Charges (-1/2), Charges do not recover (-2), Gestures (Must sip) (-1/4), OAF, Fragile (-1-1/4), Independent (-2), Unexpected results when mixed with other potions (+0).	50

Crystals of Clarity	This potent mixture allows the character to see clearly through even the cleverest illusions. The crystals, usually stored in a sealed bone tube, must be mixed and boiled in salt water, and the vapors inhaled by the character for a full turn. If the potion is improperly administered, the senses of the character can be dulled for an entire day.

Dancing Flame	When this rusty powder is added to a flame, a specific opponent must be named in order to activate the magical ability. For an hour thereafter while the flame burns, all attacks made against the named opponent receive a combat bonus when inside the effective radius.	Ability: +3 Combat Skill Levels (All Combat), Area Effect (8” Radius) (+1+1/2), Single Continuing Charge (1 Hour) (-1/2), Charge does not recover (-2), Gestures (Must burn in flame) (-1/4), Incantations (Name specific opponent) (-1/4), OAF (-1), Independent (-2), Limitation: Only when fighting the named opponent (-1), Limitation: extinguishing flame cancels the power (-1/2), Unexpected results when mixed with other potions (+0).	60

David's Bane	When a character swallows a dose of this potion, he becomes magically protected from most ranged attacks, including hurled objects, arrows, projectiles, gunpowder weapons and many offensive spells. The few missile attacks that do get through the character's defense, however, are especially well placed shots and they cause higher than normal damage.	Ability: +5 PER, 360 Degree Sensing, Only to sense incoming missiles (-2).

Desert Dust	When this powder is mixed into a body of water, the liquid dries up and clumps together, forming a small, glassy rock. Smashing the stone releases the water once more. This powder can be quite effective against water-based powers, including Water Elementals.	Ability: 2d6 Major Transformation (water into a small rock), Cumulative (+1/2), Smashing rock releases the water (+0), 7-8 Charges (-1/2), Charges do not recover (-2), Gestures (Mix with water) (-1/4), OAF (-1), Independent (-2), Fails in freezing temperatures (-1/4), Unexpected results when mixed with other potions (+0).	45

Discordant Swill

When doses of these potions are incorrectly prepared, they will have an effect contradictory to their intended use. Rather than protecting the character from a type of Elemental magic, the potion increases the vulnerability of the character to the opposite type of element. Thus, a bad batch of Fire Elemental Swill will make the character vulnerable to Water Elemental magic, and so on. | Ability: 10d6 Dispel, Elemental Magic (+2), Activation Roll 12- (-3/4), Two Continuing Charges (1 Hour each) (-1/4), Charges do not recover (-2), Only versus single element (-1/2), No Range (-1/2), Always On (-1/2), Gestures (Must drink) (-1/4), OAF, Fragile (-1-1/4), Independent (-2), Side Effects (Vulnerable to opposite element: x2 BODY and x2 STUN for the duration of potion) (-1/2), Unexpected results when mixed with other potions (+0). | 90 | 9


Dizzy Fiz	At first impression, this dark fizzy liquid appears to be a potion of alertness. After quaffing the beverage, however, the character finds himself struck with vertigo that makes it difficult to move and almost impossible to function. Fortunately after an hour the dizziness fades.	Ability: 1d6 Suppress Running, 4d6 Suppress DEX, No Range (-1/2), Single Continuing Charge (1 Hour) (-1/2), Charge does not recover (-2), Gestures (Must drink) (-1/4), OAF (-1), Independent (-2).	25

Earth Solvent	This magical solvent, which must be stored in an organic container such as wood or leather, will dissolve almost any inorganic substance within a matter of minutes. This is especially useful for removing locks, chains, and other barriers. It is also effective, albeit slowly, when the entire potion is hurled against Golems or Earth Elementals.	Ability: 2d6 RKA (Dissolve), NND (Non-solid or Organic Materials) (+1), No Range (-1/2), 4 Charges (-1), Charge does not recover (-2), Gestures (Must apply) (-1/4), OAF, Fragile (-1-1/4), Independent (-2), Gradual Effect (5 Minutes) (-3/4), Removed by water rinse (-1/2), Unexpected results when mixed with other potions (+0).	60

Ecstasy Elixir	This potent elixir is a black, opaque liquid stored in a small, pear-shaped, stoppered bottle. Ecstasy has but one purpose: to place the subject in a state of utter, mindless bliss. The drinker will become completely incapable of reason or motivation and will collapse with pleasure. Needless to say this potion can be deadly when employed at an inappropriate moment. Many cultures frown upon the manufacture or use of this potion, but some narcissistic gods will foster and encourage its use.

Ability: 4d6 INT Drain, Linked (-1/2) Combined: Trigger (Drink Elixir) (+1/4), No Range (-1/2), Single Charge (-2), Charge does not recover (-2), OAF Potion, Fragile (-1-1/4), Independent (-2), Gradual Effect (1 Turn) (-1/4), Unexpected results when mixed with other potions (+0). | 120 | 17

Essence of Youth	Eagerly sought by aging wizards and members of the nobility, this potion takes years off the age of the imbiber. Usually a single draught of this magical elixir is sufficient to remove a 5 point age disadvantage. However, these potions can sometimes become contaminated, having the opposite of the intended effect.	Ability: 6d6 Minor Transform to reduce age, Cumulative (+1/2), Activation Roll 14- (-1/2), 3 Charges (-1-1/4), Charges do not recover (-2), Side Effect (Same power, but imbiber ages instead) (-1), OAF, Fragile (-1- 1/4), Independent (-2), Unexpected results when mixed with other potions (+0).	90

Ethereal Rub	After this oily cream is applied to a characters exposed skin, clothing, and other possessions, he enters an ethereal state that allows him to pass through solid objects.

Ability: Desolidification (Affected by Magic), 5“ Flight, Life Support (Breathing Self-contained), Linked, Single Continuing Charges (1 Hour) (-1), Charge does not recover (-2), Gestures (Must cover exposed surfaces) (-1/4), OAF, Fragile (-1-1/4), Independent (-2), Gradual Effect (5 Minutes) (-2), Neutralized by Acid bath (-1/4), Unexpected results when mixed with other potions (+0).	60

Exploding Powder	These two powders, normally inert, become explosive when mixed together in roughly equal portions. A single portion of the mixture is equivalent to a large firecracker. Larger quantities will create greater explosions, and the full mixture will form a 12d6 EB explosion.	Ability: 1d6 PD, Explosion, 12 Charges (-1/4), Charges do not recover (-2), Gestures (Mix powders then ignite) (-1/4), OAF, Two Powders (-1), Independent (-2), Not when wet (-1/4), Unexpected results when mixed with other potions (+0).	10

Eyesoar Douse	When this clear liquid is dropped into the eyes of the character,it allows him to see as if he were standing some distance from his current location. The liquid is usually stored in a flask with a glass tube in the stopper that can be used to drop the potion into the eyes.	Ability: Clairsentience (Primary Vision Sense), x8 Range, 4 Continuing Charges (5 Minutes each) (+0), Charges do not recover (-2), Gestures (Must pour over eyes) (-1/4), OAF, Fragile (-1-1/4), Independent (-2), Unexpected results when mixed with other potions (+0).	35

Fiery Sauce	This red, spicy juice is much more than it first appears, as it allows the character to spew forth a cone of flames. The fire can be held inside for up to an hour, being released when the character expels his breath in a short burst. However, holding in the flames for too long can prove fatal, as the fire can explode inside the character after an hour.	Ability: 4d6 EB (Fire), Area Effect (6“ Cone) (+1), Trigger (Spew Flame) (+1/4), No Range (-1/2), Four Charges (-1), Charges do not recover (-2), Only lasts one hour (-1/4), Side Effects (Flames explode inside caster if mixed with water or not released within 1 hour: 9d6 EB (fire), NND (internal fire protection) +1, 8- Activation roll -2) (-1/2), Gestures (Must drink) (-1/4), OAF, Fragile (-1-1/4), Independent (-2), Unexpected results when mixed with other potions (+0).	45

Foaming Bubbles	Shortly after consuming this slightly oily beverage, the character will begin to foam at the mouth and begin coughing bubbles uncontrollably. His lungs and belly will become uncomfortably distended, and he will float weightlessly in midair. Even the slightest winds will push him in the direction of the air current at a maximum rate of 5“.	Ability: 5” Flight, 4 Continuing Charges (1 Hour) (+1/4), No control over flight (-1/2), Propelled by winds (-1/2), Charge does not recover (-2), Gestures (Must drink) (-1/4), OAF, Fragile (-1-1/4), Independent (-2), Unexpected results when mixed with other potions (+0).	15

Frog Sauce	This opaque green beverage has a peculiar, unidentifyable flavor. When consumed, the thighs of the character feel unusually strong, and he is able to leap much further than normal. However, it can become very tiring if the character repeatedly leaps while the potion is in effect.	Ability: 10“ Superleap, 3 Continuing Charges (5 Minutes) (-1/4), Charges do not recover (-2), Gesture (Must drink) (-1/4), OAF, Fragile (-1-1/4), Independent (-2), Unexpected results when mixed with other potions (+0).	10

Giant's Mead	Favored by warriors as a battle aid, this potent mixture endows the character with the strength of a giant. The only drawback is that a sizeable amount of the beverage must be consumed before the full effects are felt.

Hill Giant: +20 STR; Mountain Giant: +30 STR; Fire Giant: +40 STR; Storm Giant: +50 STR; | 25 / 37 / 50 / 62 | 3 / 5 / 7 / 9


Glory Potion	This potent draught empowers the character with the skills of a heroic warrior. The liquid must be stored in a bronze bottle, or the potion will soon lose it's potency.

Glow Worm Oil	This common-looking oil has the unusual property that it gives the character a permanent bioluminescent glow. Unfortunately, this property is not readily apparent until some time after the petroleum has been applied to the flesh. This can be a serious disadvantage when the character is trying not to be noticed.	Ability: 2” Radius Change Environment (bioluminescent glow), Invisible Power Effects (All) (+1), Difficult to Dispel (x8) (+3/4), No Range (-1/2), Always On (-1/2), Single Charge (-1), Charge does not recover (-2), Gestures (Must apply) (-1/4), OAF (-1), Independent (-2), Gradual Effect (1 Hour) (-1), Unexpected results when mixed with other potions (+0).	27

Insect Repellent	This acrid-smelling liquid is much sought by swamp-dwelling humanoids as a means of driving off the cloud of insects that swarm about any moving form. Bugs that attempt to approach the character receive a stiff electric shock that is usually sufficient to slay the critter. This potion can also be useful as a ward against the larger insect forms.

Iron Gut	This pale grey liquid has a faint metallic tang that remains on the tongue long after the potion is consumed. The flesh of the character takes on the same metallic hue, becoming more resistant to physical damage. However, he is also susceptible to electric-based attacks.

Larval Paste	This unpleasant looking paste allows the character to stretch and distort his body to a maximum of ten meters in any direction.

Lush Liquor	This excellent liquor is stored in a dark, small, wax-sealed bottle shaped like a bulb. The beverage has an exquisite flavor and will warm the gullet of the coldest adventurer.

Magic Dust	When this sparkling powder is sprinkled over a small area, any magical items therein will glow faintly.

Morpheus Brandy	This potent liquor induces a state of intense drowzyness in all who drink of it. This state will last for several hours, and it is all but impossible to rouse a victim before the potion wears off. The character will be temporarily roused whenever he suffers actual damage, but the potion will rapidly take effect once more. Because the potion requires several minutes to take effect, the liquid will appear to be merely a very fine Brandy at first taste. A sensation of sleepiness will follow shortly thereafter, however.

Perfume of Passion	This enchanting perfume is a mixture of herbs and secretions of some very rare plants. When applied to exposed flesh, the scented emissions allow the character to readily manipulate the emotions of those nearby, merely by making a suitably evocative statement.

Shamrock Swizzle	This alcoholic drink, made from a formula known by the Leprechaun, grants the character an unusual measure of luck for a period of one week.

Syrup of the Shadows	This dark solution was a long-held secret of the Shadow Brotherhood, until the secret of its magical source was stolen by an outsider.

Tongue Twister	At first taste seemingly a Philter of Persuasion, this sour beverage ties the character's tongue in knots, making him stutter and stammer whenever he attempts to speak. Most listeners will be less than impressed with the character, making it difficult to influence anybody.
