Potion Making


 * Potions, special brews of rare ingredients that provide their user with various benefits, are an important part of any adventurer's equipment. Those skilled with various tools and kits are able to brew potions using available ingredients and recipes. While some choose to create potions only for their own benefit, many who possess the ability to brew potions find employ as professional adventurers, shop owners, herbalists, and professional potion makers. Regardless of the source, potions can assist their user in many different ways; the most common potions, healing potions, magically repair wounds or instill their user with the resolve to continue fighting, and are extremely useful for adventurers and common folk alike.


 * Many seemingly mundane ingredients often have more potent properties than most people may think. While there are many different recipes for one type of potion, each set of ingredients has a set of properties in common. Each available potion ingredient has a certain type of "property", and each potion recipe requires a certain amount of properties to be in the recipe to create the potion. While many potions specifically require a special ingredient, common potions such as potions of healing can be made using many different recipes. If a number of properties in a recipe is lacking, then the potion may have weakened or negative effects, or an entirely different potion may be created. To determine the properties of an ingredient, a DC 12 Nature check is required. To create a potion, a character must have a source of fire, one of various kits, all required ingredients, and time. To successfully create a potion, a character must roll a DC check with their kit of 10 + the number of ingredients needed. Below is a chart of the different ingredient properties, and another chart of common and well-known potion recipes.
