B: Beginner characters (levels 1–3)
X: Expert characters (level 4+)

Usage: All characters (unless noted).
Identifying: A potion may be identified by sipping a small amount. It is difficult to identify Potions purely by smell or taste, as even Potions with the same effect are not alike.
Drinking: Drinking a full dose of a potion takes one round.
Duration: Unless noted otherwise, the magical effect of a full dose of a potion lasts 1d6+6 turns. The referee should roll and track this duration, not share its length with the player.

Drinking a potion while already under the effects of another potion is dangerous:

• Sickness: The character is completely disabled for 3 turns, due to sickness.
• Cancellation: The effects of both Potions are cancelled.

This rule does not apply to Potions with instantaneous or permanent duration.

Enables the character to hear through the ears of another creature.
Range: The other creature must be within 60′.
Obstructions: Lead blocks the effect.

Enables the character to see through the eyes of another creature.
Range: The other creature must be within 60′.
Obstructions: Lead blocks the effect.

A potion of this type allows the one who drinks it to control the actions of creatures of a certain type.
Concentration: Exercising control requires concentration.
Visual range: The character can only control creatures that they can see.
Suicidal commands: Controlled creatures will resist commands that are deadly to themselves.

Affects: Up to 3d6 Hit Dice of normal or giant (but not magical) animals.
When the potion’s effect ends: Affected animals will move away.

Affects: 1–3 dragons of a specific type. (The referee should determine which type of dragon the potion affects.)
Spell casting: It is not possible to command a dragon to cast spells.
When the potion’s effect ends: Affected dragons have a hostile reaction.

Affects: 1–4 giants of a specific type. (The referee should determine which type of giant the potion affects.)

Usage: A charm may be placed upon a human within 60′. One target may be charmed per round.
Resisting: The subject may save versus spells to resist the charm.
Maximum subjects: Up to 6 Hit Dice of humans may be charmed in this way. Normal humans count as ½ HD.
Charmed individuals: Regard the character as a close friend and will come to their defence. If they share a language, the character may give charmed subjects commands, which they will obey. Subjects may resist commands that contradict their habits or alignment. Suicidal commands are always refused.

Affects: All plants (including plant monsters) in a 30′ × 30′ area up to 60′ distant.
Commands: Affected plants may be commanded to move around as the character wishes, and may be used to entangle creatures in the area.

Affects: Up to 3d6 Hit Dice of undead.
When the potion’s effect ends: Affected undead have a hostile reaction.

A character who drinks this potion believes themselves to be under the effects of another type of potion.
Type: The other type of potion should be determined by the referee.
Describing: The referee should try to trick the player into believing that the character is under the effects of the other potion, only revealing the truth at some vital juncture.

Combat effectiveness: While shrunk, the character is unable to harm creatures larger than 1′ tall.
Narrow spaces: The character can slip through narrow spaces.
Remaining motionless: The character only has a 10% chance of being spotted.

Normal heat: Unharmed by non-magical heat or fire.
Save bonus: Gain a +2 bonus to saving throws versus fire-based effects (e.g. magic or breath attacks).
Fire-based damage: Is reduced by 1 point per damage die rolled. (Each die inflicts a minimum of 1 hit point damage.)

Movement rate: Up to 360′ (120′).
Free movement: Is possible in any direction, including the ability to Levitate and to hover in mid-air.

The character’s body becomes a cloud of vapour. This has the following effects:
Equipment and clothing: Drops to the floor.
Movement: The character may move, as a cloud of gas, through small cracks in stone walls, wooden objects, etc.

Grants the strength of a frost giant.
Attacks with weapons: Inflict double damage.
Throw boulders: The character may throw boulders for 3d6 damage, with a range of up to 200′.
Non-cumulative: The effects of this potion are not cumulative with other magic items that augment strength (e.g. a girdle of giant strength).

The character doubles in size.
Melee attacks: The character’s increased strength means that their melee attacks deal double damage.

Has one of two (instant and permanent) effects on the character who drinks it:
Healing a living subject: Restores 1d6+1 hit points of damage. This cannot raise the subject’s hit points above their normal maximum.
Curing paralysis: Paralysing effects are negated.

Normal humans and characters of a combat-focused, non-magic using class (e.g. dwarf, fighter, halfling) who drink a potion of heroism temporarily gain additional levels.
Levels gained: The number of levels gained depends on the character’s normal experience level:

• Normal human: Gain the abilities of a 4th level fighter.
• 1st–3rd level: Gain 3 levels.
• 4th–7th level: Gain 2 levels.
• 8th–10th level: Gain 1 level.
• 11th level+: No effect.

Effects: All benefits of the additional levels are gained, including extra hp.
Damage: Damage suffered while under the effects of this potion is first deducted from the pool of additional hit points granted.

Drinking this potion, the character becomes invisible. This works the same as the magic-user spell invisibility. The standard potion duration applies.
Small doses: At the referee’s discretion, a potion of Invisibility may be consumed in six smaller doses, each with a reduced duration.

The character is magically protected from harm, gaining the following benefits:
Armour Class: A +2 AC bonus.
Saving throws: A +2 bonus to all saves.
Usage frequency: If a character consumes more than one potion of invulnerability in the space of a week, the effects are inverted (a –2 penalty to AC and saves).

The character gains the ability to move up and down through the air at will.
Vertical: Vertical movement as desired, at up to 20′ per round.
Horizontal: The character can move laterally by pushing against solid objects.
Weight: A normal amount of weight can be carried while levitating.

Appears the same as any other potion.
