Potion & Oil Creation
A potion is a magic liquid that produces its effect when imbibed. Potions vary incredibly in appearance. Magic oils are similar to potions, except that oils are applied externally rather than imbibed. A potion or oil can be used only once. It can duplicate the effect of a spell of up to 3rd level that has a casting time of less than 1 minute and targets one or more creatures or objects.
The Process
Among the easiest of items to make, potions range from simple healing brews to potent mixtures capable of taming dragons or restoring a character to complete health and sanity. Some potions are clerical potions and can only be manufactured by priests.
Component Note
Level Requirements
Both priests and wizards must be at least 9th level to create potions. Paladins and Rangers can create potions at 27th level. Bards can create scrolls at 30th level. If Proficiencies is installed, however, then characters will instead need to have the requisite number of proficiency points in Alchemy or Herbalism in order to create potions.
Research
Before a character can brew a potion, he or she must discover what processes, materials, and special ingredients are required, and how these must be combined for success. This research requires a cost of 100 gp per potion tier, but if the character uses a contact other plane spell to speed their research, the cost is only 50 gp per tier.
If the character has a full dose of the potion in question to use as a sample, the research costs nothing (except for the loss of the potion itself).
Occasionally, potion recipes can be found lying around in a wizards keep or on the person of a wealthy alchemist. In addition, certain specialists can be convinced to teach recipes to generous potential student.
Once a character has researched a potion's formula, they need not research it again; they can create that particular potion as often as they wish, as long as they can provide the right materials.
Component Note
COMPONENT XXX: Brew Potion Research Not Required
If this component is installed, characters do not need to discover the potion's recipe in order to create it.
Processes and Materials
Potions must be created using an Alchemy Kit. Alchemy Kits come in three verities: standard, quality, and masterwork, in order of quality. The higher the tier of the potion, the more successful creation is likely to be. Alchemist kits can typically be bought at most temples or magic shops, or they can be created. (see craft miscellaneous items).
The chart below shows the suggested kind of kit for the tier suggested. An alchemist kit can also be used to create a potion of a lower tier than is required. In that case, the chance of success is higher. On the other hand, a character can use an alchemist kit of lower quality than recommended to create a given potion. However, the chance of success is greatly reduced. See the chart below.
Cost
Assuming that the character is able to obtain any special or unusual materials required for the potion, it will cost them as per the table below.
Success or Failure
The base chance for a successful brewing is 70%, +2% per character level, - 5% per tier of the potion. Note that a failure will always produce something. See the Table: Failed Brews for details. This chance is further modified by the quality of the kit used to create the potion. A standard kit imposes a -10% chance to create a potion. A quality kit does not give a bonus or impose a penalty. A masterwork kit gives a +5% bonus to craft a potion.
