Potion of Healing

Can be purchased in a flask.

This red potion feels strangely warm to the touch. It tastes of cinnamon and orange.

You recover some hit points when you drink this potion—the better the quality, the more hit points you are able to restore. When you drink a healing potion, roll the same die as your most common hit die. If you don’t have a hit die value for any reason, roll a d4.

Can be purchased in a flask.

Potion of Stamina

Can be purchased in a flask.

This cold, black potion tastes strongly of old coffee and sour milk. It fizzes when shaken.

Stamina potions grant a small burst of energy to those suffering from exhaustion—a potential life-saver on long, dangerous journeys far from a safe resting place. When you drink a stamina potion, you can ignore a small amount of exhaustion for one hour. This energy boost is short-lived, however, and your exhaustion returns in full strength once the potion wears off—make sure you’re not in a dangerous position when it does

You may ignore some exhaustion for one hour when you drink this potion—the better the quality, the more exhaustion you can ignore.

Potion of Vigor

Can be purchased in a flask.

This potion of boiled water and herbs gives increased energy and dulls pain.

While in combat or similar situations which would keep your blood pumping and metabolism high, this time is reduced to 1 minute. After the duration of the potion expires (not when you lose the hit points), you must make a Constitution save. Failure causes you to suffer 1 level of exhaustion.

The better the quality, the more temporary hit points you gain. When you drink a potion of vigor, roll the same die as your most common hit die. If you don’t have a hit die value for any reason, roll a d4.

Sage

Price: 4 cp
Sage is a soft, blue-green leaf that is dried and burned as an incense to achieve its effect, purifying a 20’ square foot area.

Certain types of sage can also be used as a culinary herb.
