| Description: | Allows a character to create potions. |
Creating a supply of potions to sell to others or have ready for emergencies can be very helpful to adventurers.
Description
Creating a stock of potions ensures that if you ever need access to magic, and you aren't sure anyone will be around who can read a scroll, you'll have that magic ready to go.
Healing potions are certainly among the most popular varieties, but other schools can be quite useful as well. Potions only require roleplaying that you drink them which is faster (and easier to do in the dark) than using a scroll. This makes them fantastic in the middle of a fight if you have them located where you can find them easily.
Effect
This skill allows characters to create potions for any spell they know that can be made into a potion. Doing this requires using the preproduction system before an event using your available production points.

Potion Rules
Potions provide the effects of a spell to anyone who drinks them. They provide their own power and do not require an incantation.
A potion is used by role-playing drinking it, or by concealing it in food like an ingested alchemical. When someone consumes the potion they are affected by the spell as if it had been cast upon them. The user counts as the person casting the spell for the purposes of voluntarily dispelling it.
Oils are like potions, but for spells that are applied to objects or areas instead of characters. To apply an oil, role-play applying it to the affected area.
No skill is needed to identify a potion (or oil). Any character is capable of understanding the effects a potion will have. |
After using a potion or an oil, the character does not have to destroy the consumable slip right away. A player may wait for the next convenient moment to do so, if for example they drink a potion in the middle of a combat. You do not have to actually take the top off of the container the potion is in while you roleplay drinking it. You should still destroy the consumable slip at your earliest convenience.
When administering a potion to a character who has the Helpless condition, you must have the first aid skill.
Potions are created using production points and the brew potion skill.

Preproduction
|
Are you lost and looking for the page with information relevant to your preproduction form? Click here for production, and here for crafting. |
Every month dozens of players attend events and as many as half of them will want to create new magic items, produce potions, and make other in-game items. It can take logistics staff hours a month putting all of these orders together, so we use the preproduction system to help make that job a lot easier on them (thank you!).
Preproduction forms are due by 11:59pm on the Sunday prior to an event. Use that form to:
- Craft new items
- Alter props with tinkering
- Produce new consumables
- Create valuable items
- Turn in runes
- Exchange items with merchant skills
- Let us know that you'll need items for being a high-ranking druid or merchant
- Update obsolete consumables
- Obtain items from the Varganien Commissary
By doing this logistics staff has everything they need to make and gather in one single place, making the job much easier.
Production Points
Production points represent a character's access to materials or ability to refine a usable material from their environment.
Consumables are cheap, easy to make and good to have on hand for when you need that extra push. As a result, production points are very popular for a wide variety of characters. Merchants use production points to make their most popular inventory, but other adventurers will frequently pick up this skill as well because why not cut out the middleman?
Savant Title
A character earns the Savant title after obtaining all 20 production points and learning the following skills:
- Alchemy Mastery
- Brew Potion
- Scribe Scroll
- Estimate Value
- First Aid
- Herbalism
- Read Magic
- At least one language that was not inherited at the character's creation.
- Note that every character gains the Common language at creation, even if you choose to roleplay that you don't know it, so does not count towards this title.
Savants gain 5 production points that break cap. When producing potions or scrolls Savants, instead of being limited to only spells they know, may also copy potions and scrolls they have on hand to determine which they can make. This cannot be used to copy scarce items.
Only Savants can use an Alchemist's Laboratory.
