B: Basic 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 different.

Drinking: Drinking a full dose of a potion takes one round

Duration: The magical effect of a full dose of a potion lasts for 1d6+6 turns. The referee should roll for and track this duration and keep the player from knowing how long the potion will last.

Mixing Potions

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 canceled.

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