Section 1: Potions Potions Potions are typically found in ceramic, crystal, glass, or metal flasks or vials (though you can change this, if you want). Flasks or other containers generally contain enough fluid to provide one person with one complete dose to achieve the effects described for each potion below. Opening and drinking a potion has an initiative modifier of 4.
Potion Duration Unless otherwise stated, the effects of a potion last for 4 complete turns plus 1d4 additional turns (4+1d4 turns).
List of Potions Animal Control: This potion enables the imbiber to empathize with and control the emotions of animals of one type—cats, dogs, horses, etc. The number of animals controlled depends upon size: 5d4 animals of the size of giant rats; 3d4 animals of about man-size; or 1d4 animals weighing about ½ ton or more.
